About our food truck hire in Akeley
Truck and trailer service usually suits around 50 to 400 guests. Smaller gatherings are looked at case by case, so tell us how many you expect. Popular choices include vegan tacos, fresh salsas and guacamole and burritos, and it is a good fit for end-of-year celebrations and summer parties at home.
In a hamlet or village like Akeley, our truck or trailer can serve a private party or a team day in a field or garden. Guests order at the hatch, so plan a sheltered spot for the queue in case of rain. Timings are planned around your event, whether that is speeches, a lunch break or a festival schedule.

The process
Service is quick and friendly: guests are served at the hatch or a serving station, so even a long queue moves. When service ends, we pack down. Evening events in Akeley stay light until about 9:25pm at midsummer. Once it’s dark, some lighting near the hatch makes ordering easier.
- Send us your date, the address, a headcount and dietary needs.
- We check availability and send a menu and a quote for hiring the truck or trailer.
- Before the day, we agree the spot, the way in, power and water.
- On the day we drive in, set up and serve to order from the hatch.
- Once guests are fed, we clear our area and head off.
Preparing for the day
- Pick a flat, firm spot for us to park
- Confirm the venue allows outside caterers
- Name one person we can ask on the day
Getting a price

- A way in wide and high enough for the vehicle
- Seating or standing room near the truck
- Distance from houses and windows
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and the access, and we’ll advise.
