Food truck hire in Calcott, from our truck or trailer
Our food truck or trailer is available to hire for events across Calcott and nearby. We serve loaded nachos, fresh salsas and guacamole and burritos, and it is a good fit for christenings and family parties and client hospitality.

DIY taco night versus a caterer
Doing it yourself? Start with the quantities: our guide to how many tacos per person helps. Keep tortillas warm in a covered basket, and label anything containing allergens.
A DIY taco night works well for a small group. For big numbers or lots of diets, a caterer makes life easier, and handles allergen information for you.

How we price food truck hire
Every event is priced individually, and the price depends on a few things:
- How long we’re needed on site
- Food, drinks or both
- Your choice of food and drinks
- How many guests we’re serving
Access and travel can make a difference to the cost, so it helps to tell us about your venue. The full price is confirmed in your quote.
Getting an accurate quote
A few details help us give you an accurate quote. Here’s what’s useful:
- Roughly how many adults and children
- The date and rough timings
- The address or venue name
- Gate widths, slopes and the ground
A detailed enquiry gets a more accurate quote: venue, timings, menu ideas and access. To send your details, use our quote form.
Planning the serving area
The route in matters as much as the spot itself. We need:
- A way in wide and high enough for the vehicle
- Arrangements for power and water, agreed when you book
- Firm, level ground or hardstanding where the truck or trailer can park
If you’re unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think.
Step by step
From set-up to service, we look after everything you’ve booked from us, so you can spend time with your guests. At midsummer, it stays light in Calcott until about 9:15pm, while late September brings sunset forward to around 7:00pm. In December it is dark by about 3:50pm, so the queue by the hatch needs lighting.
- Tell us what the event is and who’s coming.
- Together we plan dishes that cover your guests’ diets.
- Power, water and timings are agreed with you or the venue.
- The truck serves at the agreed times.
- When everyone is fed, we clear our area.
Preparing for the day
- Check the venue is happy to have a truck or trailer on site
- Tell us what power and water the site has
- Pick a flat, firm spot for us to park

Diets, allergies and planning
Allergies and diets are taken seriously. Here’s how you can help:
- Put anyone with a severe allergy in touch with us
- Give us separate numbers for children
- Email us any allergies
- Flag any coeliac guests
Wet weather does not close the hatch, but guests will want a covered area to eat.
Ask us about evening food later on, quoted with the main booking.
Why choose food truck hire in Calcott?
Food comes from the hatch hot, one order at a time, rather than waiting under foil.
A truck or trailer works for big and small events alike. Typical bookings include:
- Company away days
- Back-garden parties
- Weddings
- Client events and product launches
Parks such as Curtis Wood generally need permission for vehicles and catering, so a garden or hired venue is often simpler.
What your quote should include
- Where to see their hygiene rating
- How late numbers can change
- How each diet is kept separate
- If the price includes VAT
