In a hamlet or village like Ashurst, our food truck or trailer can serve a private party or a team day in a field or garden. Guests queue at the hatch, so have some cover ready in case of rain. You’ll know what’s included before you book: the menu, the service time and any extras you choose.
Planning the serving area
Plenty of outdoor spaces and venues work for us, but a few things matter:
- Power and water details confirmed in advance

Can I do a taco night myself?
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.

Questions from Ashurst
Can you cater a reception after a service at Church of St Martin of Tours?
Yes. The church itself is not 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’ll check the access.
Do you come out to small places like Ashurst?
Yes, we cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Let us know about access and parking for the truck or trailer.
Do you cater for coeliacs?
Yes, gluten-free options are available, made with corn tortillas. Let us know about coeliac guests in advance so we can talk through how their food is prepared. See are corn tortillas gluten-free?
What do you need at the venue?
A level, firm spot for the truck or trailer, with access wide and high enough to drive in, plus the venue’s permission. Power and water arrangements are confirmed with each booking.
Can you cater for children?
Yes. We can keep dishes mild, and simple options such as quesadillas or nachos can be part of the menu. Tell us how many children are coming.
How many guests can the truck serve?
That depends on your timings and the event. As a guide, it is around 50 to 400 guests.
Is private hire the same as trading at a festival?
Private hire means we serve only your guests, with a menu and timings you agree with us. Festival and market trading is open to the public; see our street food catering page.
How big an event can you cater?
It depends on the menu and how long service runs, but our truck and trailer service generally suits around 50 to 400 guests. For anything outside that, ask us.
How it compares
Hiring a food truck is different from finding one at a festival. At public events, anyone can buy; a private hire means your guests, your menu and your timings. Extras, such as more dishes, extra drinks or a longer service, are quoted on request, so you choose what goes in.
