Food truck hire in Artington
About our food truck hire in Artington
As a guide, hiring the truck or trailer suits around 50 to 400 guests. Smaller gatherings are looked at case by case. At parties in venue grounds and garden parties, we can serve burritos, burrito bowls and loaded nachos.
In a rural place like Artington, access is the main thing to plan for a hired truck: the gate, the ground and the distance from the lane. Power and water may be limited, so we confirm the arrangements before the day. Access, space and power are agreed with you beforehand, so set-up goes smoothly.
For planners, venues and organisers
Planners and coordinators can contact us directly, and we will keep everyone informed on the day.
Events in public spaces, like parks, usually need permission. We’ll provide the information the landowner or council asks for from us.
FAQs for Artington
Could you serve in Shalford Park?
Only if the landowner, often the council, allows it. Ask them first, and we’ll help with the information they need from us.
Do you cater in villages like Artington?
Yes, we cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about lanes, gates, ground and parking.
What space does the truck need?
Tell us where you’d like the truck, and we will check it works. Our guide to space and power has more.
What does it cost to hire the truck?
We don’t publish set prices, because each hire is different. Tell us your plans and we will quote for your event. Our food truck hire guide explains what affects the cost.
Do you do parties at home?
Yes, if the truck or trailer can get in and park on level, firm ground. Send us a picture of the access and the space.
Do you do margaritas?
Yes, we offer a Mexican drinks bar, serving margaritas, Mexican beer, aguas frescas such as hibiscus and horchata, and soft drinks. Alcohol at an event may need a licence, such as a premises licence or a Temporary Event Notice, so we’ll check the licensing with you.
How long are you on site?
We arrive in good time to set up before service. Serving times are agreed with you in advance, along with pack-down.
When should we book?
Early, particularly for summer Saturdays. Even if it’s short notice, it is worth asking.
Should I do it myself?
Some hosts like to do it themselves. The usual problems are cold tortillas, running out of a popular filling and a host stuck at the stove. If you’d rather be with your guests, we’ll do the serving.
A DIY taco night works well for a small group. For big numbers or lots of diets, a caterer makes life easier, with allergen information for every dish.

Prices and what affects them
The same guest numbers can mean different prices, because of:
- What’s on the menu
- Adding food to drinks, or drinks to food
- How long we are needed on site
- Distance and access to the venue
The cost per head can fall as numbers rise, since the set-up is much the same either way. Tell us your numbers for an accurate price.
Getting an accurate quote
When you get in touch, it helps to tell us:
- What you’d like on the menu
- What power and water the site has
- The venue or postcode
- How we drive in and where we can park
