Food truck hire for Anthill Common events
Food truck hire for your event in Anthill Common
Our food truck or trailer is available to hire for events across Anthill Common and nearby, from gardens to venue grounds and business parks. At engagements and anniversaries and milestone birthdays, we can serve quesadillas, loaded nachos and fresh salsas and guacamole and more.
Somewhere as small as Anthill Common, food truck hire can mean a garden, a field or a barn. Lanes, gates and long drives are fine if we know about them. Soft ground after rain is worth mentioning too. Timings are planned around your event, so service starts when you want it.
Should I do it myself?
Weighing up a DIY taco night against a caterer? Consider your numbers, your guests’ diets and your own time. Ask us for a quote and compare.
Doing it yourself saves money, but the host ends up in the kitchen. Booking a caterer means you can relax with everyone else.
Common questions in Anthill Common
Do you come out to small places like Anthill Common?
Yes. Villages and hamlets are part of our area, and the main thing is access: tell us about the lane, the gate and the ground.
Can we hire your food truck for a private party in Anthill Common?
Yes, depending on the date. For a private or work event in a village or hamlet, the main thing is access: tell us about the lane, the gate and the ground.
Can you come to a private house?
That depends on access. A drive or a spot nearby may work, with permission, if the garden itself is out of reach. Tell us about the space and we will advise.
How much does food truck hire cost in Anthill Common?
It depends on guest numbers, the menu, the length of service and the location. Send us the details for a quote.
Can you cater for guests who avoid dairy?
Yes. We offer dairy-free options.
Do you come to Anthill Common?
Yes, we do. Anthill Common is one of the places we cover. Send us your date to check availability.
Where can the truck park?
Level, firm ground or hardstanding, access wide and high enough to drive in, and the venue’s permission. We confirm power and water when you book.
Are plates and napkins included?
That’s confirmed with each quote. Let us know what the venue supplies and we’ll talk it through.
How the day works
On the day, we position the truck or trailer and get the serving area ready. We are ready to serve at the agreed time, so everything runs to your schedule. A hired food truck at a summer event in Anthill Common can serve in daylight until about 9:20pm at midsummer, while late September brings sunset forward to around 7:10pm. In December it’s dark by about 4:00pm, so the queue by the hatch needs lighting.
- Share your plans for the event.
- We suggest fillings and dishes for every diet.
- Power, water and timings are agreed with you or the venue.
- The truck serves at the agreed times.
- Once service ends, we tidy up and go.
Getting ready for the day
- Pick a flat, firm spot for us to park
- Give us your final numbers and diets
- Measure any gates or arches on the way in
Ask for a quote

Prices and what affects them
Pricing is straightforward once we know the basics:
- The number of people
- Adding food to drinks, or drinks to food
- Travel, parking and access
- Timings and hours
A food truck can be a practical alternative to plated catering, because it needs no venue kitchen. Ask us for a quote.

You don’t need every detail fixed to get a quote, but it helps to know:
- Vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free, dairy-free and allergy numbers
- Roughly how many adults and children
