Food truck hire for your event in Ashurst Wood
Our truck or trailer is available to hire for events across Ashurst Wood and nearby, from gardens to venue grounds and business parks. On the menu are vegan tacos, burrito bowls and loaded nachos, which works well for milestone birthdays and wedding receptions.
Somewhere as small as Ashurst Wood, 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. We’ll check the space, access and power with you before the day, so set-up goes smoothly.

Organising for someone else?
If you’re planning an event on someone’s behalf, such as a wedding planner, an office manager or a festival organiser, we are happy to deal with you and the venue directly. It keeps things simple.
Venues often have their own rules about outside caterers: vehicle access, arrival times and documents. Send us your venue’s requirements and we will follow them.

- Plates and napkins, or nothing at all
- Exactly what’s included in the price
Should I do it myself?
Running your own drinks table is one option, but someone still has to mix, pour and keep an eye on it all evening. See our margarita bar guide.
Doing it yourself saves money, but the host ends up in the kitchen. Booking a caterer means you can relax with everyone else.
