About our food truck hire in Burghclere Common
The truck or trailer is a working kitchen on wheels, so your venue doesn’t need a kitchen. What we do need is level ground, a way in and the venue’s agreement. For leaving parties and birthday parties, we’ll put together a menu of burrito bowls, loaded nachos and burritos and more.
In a rural place like Burghclere Common, access is the main thing to plan for a hired truck: the gate, the ground and the distance from the lane. Power and water may be limited, so we confirm the arrangements before the day. You can book food, drinks or both, so one caterer can cover more of the day.

DIY taco night versus a caterer
A DIY taco night works well for a small group. For larger numbers, mixed diets or a wedding, a caterer takes the pressure off, with allergen information for every dish.
You can host your own taco night for a crowd, but it takes planning. There are fillings to slow-cook, tortillas to keep warm and salsas to make. Read our guide to taco bars.

Burghclere Common: your questions answered
Can you bring your truck or trailer to Sandleford Priory?
It depends on the park’s owner, who would need to agree to a catering vehicle on site. Ask them first; if they say yes, we will send what they need from us.
Do you cater in villages like Burghclere Common?
Yes, small places are no problem, given access. Let us know about access and parking for the truck or trailer.
Can you serve in the rain?
The truck or trailer can serve in the rain, but guests need somewhere covered to eat and drink, such as a marquee, gazebo or nearby building.
Can you cater for vegetarians and vegans?
Yes. Vegetarian and vegan fillings, such as spiced mushrooms or black beans, can be part of the menu.
Can we have a build-your-own taco bar?
We can. A build-your-own taco bar can be served from the truck or a serving station, with fillings, salsas, guacamole and toppings.
How long are you on site?
We arrive in good time to set up before service. Serving times are agreed with you in advance, along with pack-down.
Do you give allergen information?
Yes. Tell us about allergies when you book. UK law requires caterers to provide information on 14 allergens, and we give it for every dish (Food Standards Agency guidance). Anyone with a severe allergy should speak to us before the event.
