Food truck hire in Ash, from our food truck or trailer
Our drinks bar can be hired with the truck with margaritas, Mexican beer and aguas frescas. A build-your-own taco bar can sit beside the truck too. We serve quesadillas, fresh salsas and guacamole and loaded nachos, which works well for weddings and family celebrations.
For a place the size of Ash, food truck hire at your own home is often simplest: no venue to book, and guests order straight from the hatch. Tell us about the lane and the drive. Timings are planned around your event, so service starts when you want it.
FAQs for Ash
Which station should guests use for Ash?
Guests can use Sandwich station, about 2.8 miles east of Ash.
Could you serve our guests after a service at Church of St Nicholas?
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.
Can you serve in the rain?
Rain doesn’t normally stop service from the truck or trailer. Plan cover for guests, such as a marquee or gazebo, and let us know if the ground gets soft after heavy rain.
How big an event can you cater?
That depends on the menu and the service time, but around 50 to 400 guests is the usual range. Tell us your numbers and we’ll advise.
Can you cater for guests who avoid dairy?
Yes, we can. Let us know your dairy-free numbers, and we will plan the menu around them.
Is the truck suitable for a large group?
It depends on the event and how long service runs. As a guide, it’s around 50 to 400 guests.
How much is a food truck for an event?
It depends on guest numbers, the menu, the length of service and the location. Send us the details for a quote.
How soon do we need to book?
As soon as you have a date. Peak dates go quickly, so contact us early.

Catering for every guest
Nearly every event has some special diets. To cater well for them:
- Plan a covered area for guests to eat
- Check gate widths and any height limits
- Tell us when guests should eat
- Ask guests with severe allergies to speak to us beforehand
Allergen information is available at the hatch for every dish, so guests can ask before ordering.
A taco-bar station can sit next to the truck.
Planners, venues and businesses
For big numbers, we plan service to keep queues short, so guests are looked after quickly. Let us know how long the break is.
If your event is in a public space, such as a park, check what permission you need first. We can send what the landowner or council needs from us.
