Planning an event in Bowmans?
Before you choose a spot
Before the day, we’ll agree where we park and serve. A good spot ticks these boxes:
- Distance from houses and windows
- Gate widths, overhead branches and soft ground checked in advance
- Arrangements for power and water, agreed when you book
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and the access, and we will advise before booking.
Food truck hire in Bowmans, served fresh
We serve when you want us to: a set lunch hour, an evening slot or a few hours through a party. Let us know your running order and we will plan around it. Popular choices include vegan tacos, burrito bowls and quesadillas, and it is a good fit for launch events and retirement parties.
For a place the size of Bowmans, food truck hire at your own home is often simplest: no venue to book, and guests order straight from the hatch. Let us know about the route to the house. You can book food, drinks or both, so one caterer can cover more of the day.
How it compares
A hog roast suits meat eaters well, but tacos and bowls make vegan, gluten-free and dairy-free guests easier to feed. Pricing depends on the event. A short lunch service for a team is a different job from a full wedding day. Contact us for a quote.

Can I do a taco night myself?
If you do it yourself, work out quantities first: our guide to how many tacos per person helps. Keep warmed tortillas covered, and label dishes for guests with allergies.
Plenty of people try a DIY taco night at home. Common snags are cold tortillas, uneven quantities and the host missing the party. If you’d rather enjoy the party, let us serve.
Organising for someone else?
If you are booking for a business, tell us what your finance team needs, and we’ll explain how it works. We can work with your facilities team on access and timings.
For repeat events, such as annual staff parties or seasonal fairs, let us know your dates early, so we can check the date.
The menu, item by item
