Food truck hire for your event in Ashford
Food truck hire means our truck or trailer is booked for your guests only. It’s a private booking, not public trading, so the menu and timings are set around your event. It works well for company away days and private parties in fields and grounds, serving tacos from the hatch, quesadillas and fresh salsas and guacamole.
Somewhere as small as Ashford, 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. You can book food, drinks or both, so the food and drinks can come from one caterer.
Dietary needs and planning tips
We take diets and allergies seriously. Here’s how you can help:
- Count children separately
- Check gate widths and any height limits
- Add a dietary question to the invitation
- Ask the venue about catering vehicles before you book
We arrive in the agreed window and park where we have arranged. Someone on site to meet us makes it smoother.
Loaded nachos to share while the first orders cook are a good way to begin.
Should I do it myself?
You can set up your own drinks table, but someone has to serve all evening. Our margarita bar guide has tips.
Not sure whether to do it yourself or book a caterer? Consider your numbers, your guests’ diets and your own time. Ask us for a quote and compare.
