Food truck hire in Capstone
Food truck hire in Capstone, served fresh
Pair the truck with our Mexican drinks bar for margaritas, Mexican beer and aguas frescas. A build-your-own taco bar can sit beside the truck too. On the menu are fresh salsas and guacamole, vegan tacos and loaded nachos, which works well for leaving parties and staff appreciation days.
In a hamlet or village like Capstone, 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 turn up ready to serve, and tidy our own area afterwards.
The process
The truck or trailer needs a level, firm spot with access to drive in, with power and water arrangements agreed beforehand. A picture of the space helps. By late September, it’s dark in Capstone at around 7:00pm, so evening service from the truck may run past dusk. In late May, daylight lasts until about 8:50pm.
- Check our availability for your date.
- You get a menu for the hatch and a quote.
- The spot and the way in are agreed in advance.
- We drive in, open the hatch and serve your guests.
- We pack down and drive away when service ends.
Preparing for the day
- Ask the venue about power and water
- Plan a covered area for guests if rain is likely
- Confirm the venue allows outside caterers

What affects the price in Capstone
The same guest numbers can mean different prices, because of:
- Food, drinks or both
- Whether you need disposables
- Parking and the route in
- How many guests we’re serving
Your choice of food and drinks affects the price, so share your ideas with us. We’ll suggest options to suit your budget.
What we need to know
You don’t need everything decided to ask for a quote, but it helps to know:
- Diets and allergies you know about
- Approximate guest numbers, including children
- Gate widths, slopes and the ground
- The address or venue name
Not sure what you need yet? No problem: give us the basics about your event, and we’ll suggest a menu. When you are ready, send us your details through our quote form.
Space, access and the venue
The route in matters as much as the spot itself. We look for:
- Somewhere for guests to sit or stand and eat
- Power and water details confirmed in advance
- Enough width and height on the route in
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and the access, and we will advise before booking.

Should I do it myself?
DIY catering keeps costs down, but the host spends the party serving. With a caterer, you get the food and drinks without the work.

Capstone questions
Can you cater a reception after a service at All Saints Church?
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 will check the access.
How far is Capstone from central London?
About 30 miles from central London, and well within our area.
Are plates and napkins included?
We confirm that with your quote. Let us know what the venue supplies.
Do you give allergen information?
Yes, and it helps to hear about allergies when you book. UK law requires caterers to provide information on 14 allergens, and we do that for every dish (Food Standards Agency guidance). For severe allergies, please talk to us first.
Can you cater in a back garden?
Yes, as long as there’s access and a level, firm spot. Tell us about the drive, gates and any slopes.
How many guests can the truck serve?
That depends on your timings and the event. Most bookings fall around 50 to 400 guests.
What food and drinks do you offer?
Mexican street food: tacos, taco bars, burritos, bowls, nachos and quesadillas, plus salsas, guacamole and toppings. A drinks bar is available too, with margaritas, Mexican beer and aguas frescas.
How does food truck hire work?
Our food truck or trailer comes to your venue and serves your guests from the hatch. Only your guests are served.
How it compares
A private hire is not the same as a festival stall. At public events, anyone can buy; when you hire us, we serve only your guests, on your timings. Catering from a truck or trailer can be a practical alternative to a sit-down meal, as there is no kitchen to hire. Contact us for a quote to compare.
