Food truck hire for Ashley events
Food truck hire in Ashley, served fresh
You could pick fillings such as chicken tinga, carnitas or beef birria, alongside a vegan option such as spiced mushroom. We plan for vegan, vegetarian, dairy-free and gluten-free guests. At engagement parties and company away days, we can serve vegan tacos, fresh salsas and guacamole and burrito bowls for your guests.
Hire our food truck for an event near Ashley and the kitchen comes with it; we just need level ground, access and the venue’s permission. Food and drinks can be booked together or separately, so the food and drinks can come from one caterer.
Should I do it myself?
Running your own drinks table is one option, but someone has to serve all evening. See our margarita bar guide.
You can host your own taco night for a crowd, but it takes planning. Fillings need slow cooking, tortillas need warming as you go, and salsas need making. Read our guide to taco bars.
Diets, allergies and planning
Every guest is catered for, gluten-free, dairy-free, vegetarian and vegan included. To make it work smoothly:
- Plan a covered area for guests to eat
- Add a dietary question to the invitation
- Let us know who is coeliac
- Agree service times with us
Guests come to the hatch, order and wait a short moment for hot food.
Loaded nachos to share while the first orders cook are a good way to begin.
Planning the serving area
If a space is not suitable, we will tell you, and help find another spot. What matters most:
- The venue’s or landowner’s permission for a food truck
- Space in front of the hatch for guests to queue
- Level, solid ground for the vehicle
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and the access, and we’ll advise before booking.

FAQs for Ashley
Can you cater a reception after a service at St. Peter's Church?
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.
Do you cater at coastal events near Ashley?
Yes, with permission for the spot and firm ground for the truck or trailer. Wind, sand and seafront permissions are the main things to plan on the coast.
What about vegan and gluten-free guests?
There are gluten-free, dairy-free, vegetarian and vegan options, and corn tortillas suit gluten-free guests. Every dish has allergen information.
Do you give allergen information?
We plan allergen-aware menus, including for nut allergies, with allergen information for every dish. We plan carefully and keep options separate, though we can’t promise a dish is allergen-free. Guests with severe allergies should talk to us before the event.
Can you cater for vegetarians and vegans?
Yes, they’re part of the planning from the start. Tell us your numbers when you ask for a quote.
What do you need at the venue?
Access and level ground matter most: a level spot to park, space for guests to queue and a little room for a serving table. If in doubt, send us a photo of the space and the way in.
Is the food suitable for children?
Yes, children are easy to plan for. Let us know numbers and ages, and we’ll plan the menu with them in mind.
