Food truck hire near Appleton
About our food truck hire in Appleton
We cook inside our food truck or trailer, so there is no need for kitchen space at the venue. We need a level spot, safe access and the venue’s permission, with power and water confirmed per booking. On the menu are burritos, fresh salsas and guacamole and quesadillas, and it’s a good fit for launch events and winter staff parties.
In a small place like Appleton, a hired food truck might park in a garden, paddock or field. Tell us about narrow lanes, gates and long drives. Soft ground after rain is worth mentioning too. We serve from the hatch of our food truck or trailer, or from a serving station, and we plan the service around your numbers.

What happens on the day
Guests tend to gather around the truck, so we plan a spot with space for people to queue. Rain doesn’t usually stop us serving, but guests will need somewhere covered. Late-September events in Appleton see sunset at about 7:10pm, so evening service from the truck may run past dusk. A late-May event keeps its light until roughly 9:00pm.

- Together we plan dishes that cover your guests’ diets.
- We check power, water and timings with the venue.
- The truck serves at the agreed times.
- Once service ends, we tidy up and go.

FAQs for Appleton
Which station is closest to Appleton?
Oxford station, about 5 miles north-east of the centre.
Could you serve our guests after a service at Church of St Lawrence?
Yes. The church itself isn’t where we’d set up, but a hall, field or garden close by with room for the truck or trailer can work well. Let us know the reception address and we will check the access.
Which areas do you serve?
We cater across London and the South East, including Oxfordshire. Find your area.
Is the food very hot?
It’s up to you: we can keep the main dishes mild, with hotter salsas served separately. Read more about how spicy Mexican food is.
Can we add drinks?
The drinks bar comes with bar staff and alcohol-free choices. We’ll talk through licensing first.
How much is a food truck for an event?
The price depends on numbers, menu, service time and where your event is. Contact us for a quote.
Are plates and napkins included?
Ask us when you enquire. Let us know what you already have, and we will confirm what’s included with your quote.
What’s on the menu?
Mexican street food and drinks: tacos, taco bars, burritos, bowls, nachos and quesadillas, with salsas, guacamole and toppings. A drinks bar is available too, with margaritas, Mexican beer and aguas frescas.
DIY taco night or a caterer?
For a small group, a taco night at home can work well. For larger numbers, mixed diets or a wedding, a caterer takes the pressure off, and handles allergen information for you.
A DIY taco night is possible for a crowd, but it is more work than it looks. Fillings need slow cooking, tortillas need warming as you go, and salsas need making. Our taco bar guide explains how.
