About our food truck hire in Chawton
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 and we’ll plan around it. Popular choices include loaded nachos, burritos and vegan tacos, and it’s a good fit for private parties in fields and grounds and weddings.
In a small place like Chawton, a hired food truck might park in a garden, paddock or field. Lanes, gates and long drives are fine if we know about them. Firm ground matters, especially after rain. You’ll know what’s included before booking: the menu, the service time and any extras you choose.

Questions from Chawton
How far is Chawton from London?
About 46 miles from central London, and we cover it.
Will you travel to a small place like Chawton?
Yes, small places are no problem, given access. Let us know about access and parking for the truck or trailer.
What if the weather’s bad?
The truck or trailer can serve in the rain, but guests need somewhere covered to eat and drink, such as a marquee, gazebo or nearby building.
Can you come to a private house?
Yes, as long as there is access and a level, firm spot. Tell us about the drive, gates and any slopes.
Can we have a build-your-own taco bar?
Yes, a taco bar is one of our options. Tell us about your space and numbers and we’ll recommend how to serve.
When do you arrive?
We arrive in good time to set up before service. Serving times are agreed with you in advance, along with pack-down.
How soon do we need to book?
As soon as you have a date. Peak dates go quickly, so it pays to ask early.
Do you need electricity?
Let us know what’s available on site, for example a supply from the venue, and we’ll confirm what we need with your quote.
Before you choose a spot
The route in matters as much as the spot itself. We look for:
- A flat parking spot on firm ground or hardstanding
- Distance from houses and windows
- The venue’s or landowner’s permission for a food truck
If you are unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think before booking.
Planning for every diet
A little planning makes sure everyone can eat. Here’s how:
- Confirm allergies with us in writing
- Check parking and loading rules for street locations
- Flag any coeliac guests
- Ask the venue about catering vehicles before booking
When service ends, we pack away, leaving our spot tidy.
Quesadillas make an easy option for children.

How it works
It’s a relaxed, well-organised set-up. Arrival and serving times are agreed beforehand, set up our food truck or trailer, and get on with serving. By late September, it is dark in Chawton at around 7:05pm, so a later service will need some lighting. A late-May event keeps its light until roughly 8:55pm.
- Ask us whether your date is available.
- 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.
- After service, we close up and leave the spot clear.
How to prepare
- Share the running order, including any speeches
- Pick a flat, firm spot for us to park

Is food truck hire right for your event?
A private hire is not the same as a festival stall. At public events, anyone can buy; a private hire means your guests, your menu and your timings. When you compare quotes, check what each one includes: serving hours, staff, disposables, travel and VAT. Contact us for a quote and we will set out what’s included.
What we offer in Chawton
