Food truck hire near Blacknest
Step by step
From set-up to service, we look after everything you’ve booked from us, so you can enjoy your event. A hired food truck at a summer event in Blacknest can serve in daylight until about 9:20pm at midsummer, and by late September sunset is about 7:05pm. In December it is dark by about 4:00pm, so the queue by the hatch needs lighting.
- Tell us the date, the location, rough numbers and any diets.
- We check availability and send a menu and a quote for hiring the truck or trailer.
- Where the truck or trailer will stand, the route in, and power and water are all agreed in advance.
- We arrive, open the hatch and cook to order for your guests.
- After service, we close the hatch, pack down and drive away.
Preparing for the day
- Ask the venue about power and water
- Let us know who to talk to on the day
- Confirm the venue allows outside caterers

How our food truck hire works in Blacknest
When you hire our food truck, it serves your guests and nobody else. It is a private booking, not public trading, so the menu and timings are set around your event. On the menu are burrito bowls, loaded nachos and tacos from the hatch, and it suits family celebrations and private outdoor parties.
For a rural spot like Blacknest, food truck hire needs a little planning: gate widths, soft ground and the route from the road all matter. We confirm power and water arrangements with you. Your quote sets out what’s included: the menu, the service time and any extras you choose.
For planners, venues and organisers
Events in public spaces, like parks, typically need permission. We can send what the landowner or council needs from us.
Many venues have rules for outside caterers: where vehicles can park, access times and the paperwork they need. Tell us what your venue needs and we’ll work to it.

Planning for every diet
Mixed diets are straightforward to plan for, because options can be kept separate. A few tips:
- Share your running order
- Plan a covered area for guests to eat
- Count children separately
- Check parking and loading rules for street locations
Guests come to the hatch, order and wait a short moment for hot food.
Nachos for sharing at the start.
What food truck hire costs
The same guest numbers can mean different prices, because of:
- The menu you choose
- How many staff you need
- Whether you need disposables
- Adding food to drinks, or drinks to food
When you compare quotes, check what each one includes: serving hours, staff, disposables, travel and VAT. Our quote sets out what’s included.
What we need to know
A few details help us give you an accurate quote. Here’s what to include:
- A picture of the space, if it is a garden or field
- Vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free, dairy-free and allergy numbers
- Access for the truck or trailer, including gates and ground
- Expected numbers
We quote for each event separately, so the price fits what you actually want. For a quote, send us your details through our quote form.
DIY taco night versus a caterer
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.
Doing it yourself? Start with the quantities: our guide to how many tacos per person helps. Keep warmed tortillas covered, and label anything containing allergens.
