Food truck hire in Astwood
Food truck hire in Astwood, from our truck or trailer
We serve when you want us to: a lunchtime window, an evening service or a longer slot through a party. Tell us when guests should eat and we will plan around it. It suits client hospitality and big birthdays, serving tacos from the hatch, fresh salsas and guacamole and loaded nachos.
Somewhere as small as Astwood, food truck hire can mean a garden, a field or a barn. Tell us about narrow lanes, gates and long drives. Soft ground after rain is worth mentioning too. You will know what’s included before you book: menu, timings and any add-ons.

DIY taco night or a caterer?
Plenty of people try a DIY taco night at home. The usual problems are cold tortillas, running out of a popular filling and a host stuck at the stove. If you’d rather enjoy the party, let us serve.
Doing it yourself saves money, but the host ends up in the kitchen. With a caterer, you get the food and drinks without the work.
Why choose food truck hire in Astwood?
Burger and pizza vans are familiar. Tacos and burritos from a truck feel different while staying easy to eat. The cost per head can fall as numbers rise, since the set-up is much the same either way. Give us your numbers and we’ll quote.
What you get with us
- Options for vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and dairy-free guests
