Food truck hire for Brighstone events
How our food truck hire works in Brighstone
When you hire our food truck, it serves your guests and nobody else. Unlike a stall at a festival or market, it’s a private hire, so the menu and timings are set around your event. At big birthdays and parties in venue grounds, we’ll put together a menu of burritos, vegan tacos and quesadillas for your guests.
In a small place like Brighstone, a hired food truck might park in a garden, paddock or field. Lanes, gates and long drives are fine if we know about them. Soft ground after rain is worth mentioning too. Food and drinks can be booked together or separately, so the food and drinks can come from one caterer.

What else we do in Brighstone
For planners, venues and organisers
Many venues have rules for outside caterers: where vehicles can park, access times and the paperwork they need. Send us your venue’s requirements and we’ll follow them.
If you are planning an event on someone’s behalf, such as a wedding planner, an office manager or a festival organiser, we’ll work directly with you and the venue. It saves passing messages back and forth.
Can I do a taco night myself?
You can set up your own drinks table, but someone still has to mix, pour and keep an eye on it all evening. Our margarita bar guide has tips.
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.
How we price food truck hire
We quote for your event, and the price is based on:
- Serving staff
- How long we’re needed on site
- What the venue already provides
- Food, drinks or both
Extra dishes, drinks and longer service are priced on request, so you can choose what you need.
Getting an accurate quote
You do not need everything decided to ask for a quote, but these help:
- The date and rough timings
- What power and water the site has
- Access for the truck or trailer, including gates and ground
- Roughly how many adults and children
To get a price, just drop us a line using the enquiry form. Give us the details of your event, and we’ll put together a menu and price.
FAQs for Brighstone
Do you come out to small places like Brighstone?
Yes. Villages and hamlets are part of our area, and the main thing is access: tell us about the lane, the gate and the ground.
Could you serve our guests after a service at St. Mary's Church?
Yes. The church itself isn’t where we’d set up, but a hall, field or garden close by with room for the truck or trailer can work well. Let us know the reception address and we’ll check the access.
What does it cost to hire the truck?
We quote for every hire, depending on numbers, menu, location and timings. For a price, drop us a line using the enquiry form.
How much is a food truck for an event?
It depends on guest numbers, the menu, the length of service and the location. Contact us for a quote.
Is private hire the same as trading at a festival?
When you hire us, the booking is yours, so we do not serve passers-by. Event organisers should see street food for festivals.
Where can the truck park?
A firm, level spot, a way in that fits the vehicle, and the venue’s agreement. Power and water are confirmed with each booking.
What guest numbers do you cater for?
Truck and trailer service normally suits around 50 to 400 guests. Smaller parties are quoted case by case.
Do you do margaritas?
Yes. Our drinks bar can be booked on its own or with food, with alcohol-free options such as aguas frescas. For alcohol, we will go through the licensing with you and your venue.
