How our food truck hire works in Burlings
Truck and trailer service generally suits around 50 to 400 guests. Smaller gatherings are looked at case by case, so tell us how many you expect. At wedding receptions and garden parties, we’ll put together a menu of burrito bowls, quesadillas and vegan tacos.
Somewhere as small as Burlings, food truck hire can mean a garden, a field or a barn. Lanes, gates and long drives are fine if we know about them. Firm ground matters, especially after rain. Your quote sets out what’s included: menu, timings and any add-ons.
How we price food truck hire
Here’s what makes the biggest difference to the price:
- Staff for serving and the bar
- The length of service
- The menu you choose
- Plates, napkins and cutlery
Your choice of food and drinks affects the price, so share your ideas with us. Tell us your budget and we’ll suggest a menu.
What to tell us

- Diets and allergies you know about
- The venue or postcode
- Your date and when you want service to start
- Expected numbers

What else we do in Burlings
Catering for every guest
Allergies and diets are taken seriously. Help us by following these steps:
- Look into parking permissions if the truck cannot go off-road
- Guests with serious allergies should contact us first
- Tell us about coeliac guests
- Measure gates and look for low branches on the way in
We can serve through rain, but guests will want a covered area to eat.
Quesadillas make an easy option for children, if you’d like a kids’ choice.
Step by step
We take care of everything you’ve booked, from set-up to service, so you can spend time with your guests. Late-September events in Burlings see sunset at about 7:05pm, so a later service will need some lighting. In late May, daylight lasts until about 8:50pm.
- First come the basics: date, location, numbers and diets.
- You get a hatch menu and a quote for the hire.
- We confirm the parking spot, access, power and water with you or the venue.
- Your guests order at the hatch and we serve hot food at the agreed times.
- Once guests are fed, we clear our area and head off.
Preparing for the day
- Measure any gates or arches on the way in
- Confirm the venue allows outside caterers
- Let us know the timings for the day
