Food truck hire for Cackle Street events
How our food truck hire works in Cackle Street
Food truck hire means our food truck or trailer is booked for your guests only. Unlike a stall at a festival or market, it’s a private hire, so the menu and timings are set around your event. We serve fresh salsas and guacamole, burrito bowls and loaded nachos, which works well for back-garden parties and anniversary celebrations.
In a hamlet or village like Cackle Street, our food truck or trailer can serve a private party or a team day in a field or garden. Guests order at the hatch, so plan a sheltered spot for the queue in case of rain. We’ll check the space, access and power with you before the day, so set-up goes smoothly.

Cackle Street: your questions answered
What’s the nearest station to Cackle Street for guests?
The closest is Doleham station, roughly 1.6 miles away.
We’re having a ceremony at The Parish Church of St George: can you cater afterwards?
Yes. The church itself is not 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.
Do you provide drinks?
Yes, we run a Mexican drinks bar, with margaritas, Mexican beer, aguas frescas and soft drinks. Your venue or event may need the right licence for alcohol, so we will check the licensing with you.
How much space do you need?
A level, firm spot for the truck or trailer, with access wide and high enough to drive in, and the venue’s agreement. Power and water arrangements are confirmed with each booking.
Can you serve in the rain?
Rain does not usually stop service from the truck or trailer. Plan cover for guests, such as a marquee or gazebo, and let us know if the ground gets soft after heavy rain.
How is private hire different from festival trading?
Private hire means we serve only your guests, with a menu and timings you agree with us. At festivals and markets we trade to the public.
How much does food truck hire cost in Cackle Street?
Every event is quoted individually, so the price fits what you want. Tell us your date and numbers and we will reply with a quote.
How soon do we need to book?
As soon as you have a date. Peak dates go quickly, so get in touch early.
Should I do it myself?
DIY catering keeps costs down, but the host spends the party serving. Booking a caterer means you can relax with everyone else.

How the day works
Your timings come first. If speeches run late or the photos take longer, let us know and we will adjust where we can. By late September, it’s dark in Cackle Street at around 7:00pm, so a later service will need some lighting. In late May, daylight lasts until about 8:45pm.
- Tell us what the event is and who’s coming.
- We suggest fillings and dishes for every diet.
- We check power, water and timings with the venue.
- The truck serves at the agreed times.
- Once service ends, we tidy up and go.
Before we arrive
- Plan a covered area for guests if rain is likely
- Share the running order, including any speeches
- Let us know who to talk to on the day
