How our food truck hire works in Boughton Malherbe
When you hire our food truck, it serves your guests and nobody else. Unlike a stall at a festival or market, it is a private hire, so we plan the menu and service times around you. Popular choices include quesadillas, burrito bowls and fresh salsas and guacamole, and it is a good fit for christenings and family parties and winter staff parties.
Near Boughton Malherbe, a hired food truck in a field or garden suits private parties and work away days alike. Guests order at the hatch, so plan a sheltered spot for the queue in case of rain. Food and drinks can be booked together or separately, so one caterer can cover more of the day.
Prices and what affects them
The price comes down to a few factors:
- The number of people
- Serving staff
- Whether you add a drinks bar or food
- Whether you need disposables
A food truck can be a practical alternative to plated catering, as there is no kitchen to hire. Contact us for a quote to compare.
Details that help
You don’t need everything decided to ask for a quote, but it helps to know:
- Any dietary needs and allergies
- Access for the truck or trailer, including gates and ground
- Expected numbers
- What power and water the site has
Not sure what you need yet? That is fine: give us the basics about your event, and we will suggest a menu. To start, send a quick message through our quote form.
Before you choose a spot
Access is the first thing to check for a truck or trailer. We need:
- A way in wide and high enough for the vehicle
- Any parking or loading permission needed for street locations
- A spot away from neighbours
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and the access, and we’ll advise before you book.
Comparing your options
A marquee kitchen with plated service needs more space, more staff and more time. A food truck arrives as a kitchen and serves from the hatch, needing level ground, access and the venue’s permission. Comparing caterers? Look at what each quote includes: service time, staff, plates and napkins, travel and VAT. Our quote sets out what’s included.

We can serve through rain, though a marquee or gazebo helps guests stay dry.

Step by step
Your timings come first. If things run behind, let us know and we’ll adjust where we can. Late-September events in Boughton Malherbe see sunset at about 7:00pm, so evening service from the truck may run past dusk. A late-May event keeps its light until roughly 8:50pm.

- Together we plan dishes that cover your guests’ diets.
- Power, water and timings are agreed with you or the venue.
- Service runs at the times you choose.
- When everyone is fed, we clear our area.
