Food truck hire for your event in Appledore Heath
We serve when you want us to: a set lunch hour, an evening slot or a few hours through a party. Tell us when guests should eat and we will plan around it. On the menu are vegan tacos, fresh salsas and guacamole and loaded nachos, and it’s a good fit for garden parties and leaving dos and retirements.
Somewhere as small as Appledore Heath, food truck hire can mean a garden, a field or a barn. Tell us about narrow lanes, gates and long drives. Firm ground matters, especially after rain. Guests are served from our food truck or trailer, or from a serving table nearby, and we plan the service around your numbers.
How we price food truck hire
Each event is quoted on its own, based on a few main things:
- Your choice of food and drinks
- Whether you add a drinks bar or food
- The length of service
- Guest numbers
Pricing depends on the event. A short lunch service for a team is a different job from a full wedding day. Your quote sets it all out.
What we need to know
To check availability and price, we need:
- A picture of where we’d park
- Your menu ideas
- Vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free, dairy-free and allergy numbers
- How we drive in and where we can park
Most quotes start with a few simple details: the date, where the event is, how many guests and any dietary needs. Contact us for a quote: just fill in our quote form.

Planning for every diet
With a little notice, most diets are easy. We suggest:
- Agree service times with us

- Give us separate numbers for children

Wet weather doesn’t close the hatch, though a marquee or gazebo helps guests stay dry.
Margaritas, Mexican beer and aguas frescas from our drinks bar can join the truck, with licensing checked with you.
