About our food truck hire in Charlwood
Service is planned around your timings: a set lunch hour, an evening slot or a few hours through a party. Let us know your running order. It suits anniversary celebrations and milestone birthdays, with vegan tacos, loaded nachos and tacos from the hatch.
For a rural spot like Charlwood, food truck hire needs a little planning: gate widths, soft ground and the route from the road all matter. Power and water may be limited, so we confirm the arrangements before the day. Access, space and power are agreed with you beforehand, so set-up goes smoothly.
How we price food truck hire
Every event is priced individually, and the price depends on a few things:
- How long we are needed on site
- Adding food to drinks, or drinks to food
- Serving staff
- Guest numbers
The cost per head can fall as numbers rise, since the set-up is much the same either way. Tell us your numbers for an accurate price.
What we need to know
Good planning starts with a few facts. Please include:
- Vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free, dairy-free and allergy numbers
- What you’d like on the menu
- Approximate guest numbers, including children
- The address or venue name
Still deciding on the menu? No problem: give us the basics about your event, and we’ll suggest a menu. To start, send us your details through our quote form.

DIY taco night or a caterer?
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.
Plenty of people try a DIY taco night at home. The usual problems are cold tortillas, running out of a popular filling and a host stuck at the stove. If you’d rather be with your guests, we will do the serving.
Planning for every diet
With a little notice, most diets are easy. We suggest:
- Count children separately
- Check gate widths and any height limits
- Ask the venue about catering vehicles before you book
- Share your running order
We can serve through rain, but guests will want a covered area to eat.
A taco-bar station can sit next to the truck.
