Food truck hire for Bidborough events
About our food truck hire in Bidborough
Food truck hire suits weddings, milestone birthdays and staff events. It works well for end-of-year parties and staff summer parties, serving fresh salsas and guacamole, vegan tacos and burritos.
In a rural place like Bidborough, access is the main thing to plan for a hired truck: the gate, the ground and the distance from the lane. We confirm power and water arrangements with you. Everything is prepared fresh for your event and served from our food truck or trailer.
The process
We need a level, firm spot we can drive the truck or trailer onto, and we agree power and water arrangements before the day. A picture of the space helps. Evening events in Bidborough stay light until about 9:20pm at midsummer. After that, festoon lights or lamps near the truck help guests order.
- Check our availability for your date.
- You get a menu for the hatch and a quote.
- We confirm the parking spot and the route in.
- We drive in, open the hatch and serve your guests.
- We pack down and drive away when service ends.
Getting ready for the day
- Plan a covered area for guests if rain is likely
- Confirm numbers and diets before the day
- Have level hardstanding or firm ground ready

We slow-cook fillings ahead, then finish them and keep them hot at your event. The tortillas are warmed on site, and the salsas and guacamole are made fresh.
What does food truck hire cost?
The price depends on numbers, menu, service time and where your event is. Send us the details for a quote.
Is there a minimum number of guests?
That depends on the menu and the service time, but our truck and trailer service typically suits around 50 to 400 guests. Tell us your numbers and we will advise.
What about power on site?
Let us know what’s available on site, for example a supply from the venue, and we’ll confirm the arrangements with your quote.
What food and drinks do you offer?
We agree a sample menu with each client. Fillings might include chicken tinga, pork carnitas, al pastor-style pork and vegan options like black beans. See our menu for ideas.
Can you cater for special diets?
We plan vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and dairy-free options, and corn tortillas suit gluten-free guests. Allergen information is available for every dish.

Working with your venue
Throwing a party at home? Send us a photo of the space and tell us about the drive and gates, and we’ll let you know if it is a good fit.
If you’re planning an event on someone’s behalf, whether you are a planner, an office manager or an event organiser, we’ll work directly with you and the venue. It saves passing messages back and forth.

What we need at the venue
Access is the first thing to check for a truck or trailer. We look for:
- Somewhere for guests to sit or stand and eat
- The landowner’s go-ahead for the truck or trailer
- Distance from houses and windows
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and the access, and we will advise before you book.
Why choose food truck hire in Bidborough?
Mixed diets are easy to plan, since gluten-free, dairy-free, vegetarian and vegan choices come from the same hatch.
Big or small, a truck or trailer works well. Typical bookings include:
- Back-garden parties
- Milestone birthdays
- Family celebrations
- Private parties in fields and grounds
When the service is at a church such as Parish Church of St Lawrence, the truck would serve at the reception venue rather than at the church.

Should I do it myself?
A DIY taco night is possible for a crowd, but it’s more work than it looks. Fillings need slow cooking, tortillas need warming as you go, and salsas need making. Our taco bar guide explains how.
Running your own drinks table is one option, but someone has to serve all evening. See our margarita bar guide.
