Food truck hire for your event in Cliffe
When you hire our food truck, it serves your guests and nobody else. Unlike a stall at a festival or market, it is a private hire, so we plan the menu and service times around you. It suits client hospitality and private parties in fields and grounds, with burrito bowls, vegan tacos and quesadillas.
In a hamlet or village like Cliffe, our 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 will check the space, access and power with you before the day, so there are no surprises on arrival.
Cliffe: your questions answered
Do you come out to small places like Cliffe?
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.
Can you cater a reception after a service at Church of St Helen?
Yes. The church itself isn’t 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 does private food truck hire work?
We bring our food truck or trailer to your venue, park in the agreed spot and serve your guests from the hatch. It’s a private booking for your guests only.
When should we book?
As early as you can, especially for summer weekends. Ask about your date even if it is soon.
Do you give allergen information?
We plan allergen-aware menus, including for nut allergies, and give allergen information for every dish. We plan carefully and keep options separate, though we can’t promise a dish is allergen-free. Guests with severe allergies should talk to us before the event.
How long are you on site?
It depends on your event. Timings are agreed in advance so everything fits your schedule.
What do you need at the venue?
Level, firm ground or hardstanding for the truck or trailer, and a route in it can fit through, and the venue’s agreement. We confirm power and water with you for each booking.
Can you keep it mild?
We can keep it mild, with hotter salsas on the side for anyone who wants more heat.
Catering for every guest
Allergies and diets are taken seriously. Help us by following these steps:
- Tell us how many children are coming
- Share your running order
- Flag any coeliac guests
- Have shelter ready in case of rain
We drive in at the agreed time and park in the planned spot. Someone on site to meet us makes it smoother.
Ask us about napkins, plates and cutlery and we will confirm what’s possible.
The process
Expect a friendly, organised team. We agree arrival and serving times in advance, get the serving area ready, and get on with serving. A hired food truck at a summer event in Cliffe can serve in daylight until about 9:20pm at midsummer, and by late September sunset is about 7:00pm. For winter events, dark by about 3:50pm, plan lighting where guests queue at the hatch.
- Ask us whether your date is available.
- We agree a hatch menu and send 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.
Getting ready for the day
- Confirm the venue allows outside caterers
- Let us know who to talk to on the day
- Send us final numbers and dietary needs in good time
Ask for a quote
Every quote is put together for your event. Tell us your date and guest numbers, and we will confirm whether we’re available that day.

How we price food truck hire
Every event is priced individually, and the price depends on a few things:
- How many guests we’re serving
- Serving staff
- Food, drinks or both
- What the venue already provides
The price depends on guest numbers, the menu and how long you’d like us to serve, plus any add-ons and the location. Every event gets its own quote.
Details that help
Here’s what makes a quick, accurate quote possible:
- A picture of the space, if it’s a garden or field
- Gate widths, slopes and the ground
- The address or venue name
- Diets and allergies you know about
Still deciding on the menu? That’s fine: tell us about the occasion and the guests, and we’ll make suggestions. When you are ready, tell us about it on our contact page.

DIY taco night or a caterer?
A DIY taco night works well for a small group. For larger numbers, mixed diets or a wedding, a caterer takes the pressure off, and handles allergen information for you.
Running your own drinks table is one option, but someone has to serve all evening. See our margarita bar guide.
How it compares
Most guests have seen a burger van. Tacos and burritos from a truck feel different. Comparing caterers? Look at what each quote includes: service time, staff, plates and napkins, travel and VAT. Contact us for a quote and we’ll set out what’s included.
