Food truck hire for your event in Charlton
A hired food truck works for weddings, birthdays and staff days, and any gathering where guests want hot food without a sit-down meal. On the menu are quesadillas, burrito bowls and burritos, and it suits launch events and private parties in fields and grounds.
For a rural spot like Charlton, food truck hire needs a little planning: gate widths, soft ground and the route from the road all matter. We confirm power and water arrangements with you. We prepare everything fresh for your event and serve it straight from our truck or trailer, so guests get it at its best.
What affects the price in Charlton
Your quote will be clear. The main things that affect it are:
- The number of people
- Adding food to drinks, or drinks to food
- Staff for serving and the bar
- How long we’re needed on site
Cost depends on guest numbers, the menu and the length of service, plus any add-ons and the location. We quote for each event individually.
What we need to know
To check availability and price, we need:
- The date and rough timings
- A picture of where we’d park
- Approximate guest numbers, including children
- Vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free, dairy-free and allergy numbers
The quickest way to a quote is to drop us a line using the enquiry form. Give us the details of your event, and we will suggest a menu to suit.
Can I do a taco night myself?
For a small group, a taco night at home can work well. For larger numbers, mixed diets or a wedding, a caterer takes the pressure off, and handles allergen information for you.
Doing it yourself saves money, but the host ends up in the kitchen. Booking a caterer means you can relax with everyone else.

Questions from Charlton
Could you serve our guests after a service at Church of St Mary Magdalene?
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.
Do you come out to small places like Charlton?
Yes, we cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Let us know about access and parking for the truck or trailer.
Is the food made fresh?
We slow-cook fillings ahead, then finish them and keep them hot at your event. The tortillas are warmed on site, and the salsas and guacamole are made fresh.
How much does food truck hire cost in Charlton?
It depends on guest numbers, the menu, the length of service and the location. Send us the details for a quote.
Can guests build their own tacos?
We can. We can set up a build-your-own taco bar, served from the truck or a serving table, with fillings, salsas and toppings to choose from.
What do you need at the venue?
A level, firm spot for the truck or trailer, with access wide and high enough to drive in, plus the venue’s permission. Power and water arrangements are confirmed with each booking.
Is the food suitable for children?
Yes. We can keep dishes mild, and simple options such as quesadillas or nachos can be part of the menu. Include children in your numbers.
Can you cater in a back garden?
That depends on access. A drive or a spot nearby may work, with permission, if the garden itself is out of reach. Send us a photo and we’ll talk it through.
Who books food truck hire in Charlton?
The truck is yours for the booking, so there are no public queues and the menu is set for your guests.
We can help if you’re planning any of the following:
- Leaving parties
