Fillings might include carnitas, al pastor-style pork or chicken tinga, with vegan choices like black bean and sweet potato.

Chilton: your questions answered
We’re having a ceremony at Parish Church of St Mary: can you cater afterwards?
Yes, at a garden, field or venue nearby where the truck or trailer can park. We’d serve at the reception venue rather than at the church itself. Tell us where the reception will be.
Do you come out to small places like Chilton?
Yes. Villages and hamlets are part of our area, and the main thing is access: tell us about the lane, the gate and the ground.
Do you provide plates and napkins?
That is confirmed with each quote. Let us know what the venue supplies.
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, and the venue’s agreement. Power and water arrangements are confirmed with each booking.
How does private food truck hire work?
Our truck or trailer comes to your venue and serves your guests from the hatch. Only your guests are served.
What do you need at the venue?
Tell us where you’d like the truck, and we’ll check the access. There’s more in our space and power guide.
Is there a minimum number of guests?
Truck and trailer service usually suits around 50 to 400 guests. Smaller parties are quoted case by case, and festivals can be larger. Send us your numbers and we will advise.
What about power on site?
Let us know what’s available on site, for instance a supply from the venue, and we’ll confirm the arrangements with your quote.
The process
A typical event goes like this: we park up and get ready, service opens at the agreed time, and your guests are served fresh for the agreed time. December events in Chilton lose the light at about 3:55pm, so ask the venue about outdoor lighting where we will park. In late June, it stays light until about 9:25pm.
- Tell us the date, the location, rough numbers and any diets.
- We suggest a menu for the hatch and quote for it.
- Before the day, we agree the spot, the way in, power and water.
- On the day we drive in, set up and serve to order from the hatch.
- After service, we close the hatch, pack down and drive away.
Getting ready for the day
- Check gates and access routes are wide and high enough
- Have a marquee or gazebo ready in case of rain
- Give us your final numbers and diets

Dietary needs and planning tips
Most events have a mix of diets. To cater well for them:
- Measure gates and look for low branches on the way in
- Tell us when guests should eat
- Ask about parking rules if we’ll be on a road
- Check early that your venue allows food trucks
Guests come to the hatch, order and wait a short moment for hot food.
Add a build-your-own taco bar beside the truck for a wedding breakfast or lunch.
Planning the serving area
We’ll agree the spot with you before the day. A good spot ticks these boxes:
- Space in front of the hatch for guests to queue
- Level, solid ground for the vehicle
- Some space between the truck and nearby homes
If you’re unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think before booking.

Prices and what affects them
These are the factors that matter most:
- How many guests we’re serving
- The menu you choose
- Plates, napkins and cutlery
- Serving staff
When you compare quotes, check what each one includes: serving hours, staff, disposables, travel and VAT. Our quote sets out what’s included.
What we need to know
You do not need everything decided to ask for a quote, but these help:
- Whether you’d like food, drinks or both
- What power and water the site has
- Gate widths, slopes and the ground
- Vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free, dairy-free and allergy numbers
Every quote is put together for your event. Tell us your date and guest numbers, and we will check availability at the same time.
Can I do a taco night myself?
You can host your own taco night for a crowd, but it takes planning. Fillings need slow cooking, tortillas need warming as you go, and salsas need making. Read our guide to taco bars.
You can set up your own drinks table, but someone still has to mix, pour and keep an eye on it all evening. See our margarita bar guide.
