How our food truck hire works in Colnbrook
Food truck hire means our food truck or trailer is booked for your guests only. Unlike a stall at a festival or market, it is a private hire, so we plan the menu and service times around you. At client events and product launches and birthday parties, we’ll put together a menu of vegan tacos, burritos and tacos from the hatch and more.
In a small place like Colnbrook, a hired food truck might park in a garden, paddock or field. Lanes, gates and long drives are fine if we know about them. Soft ground after rain is worth mentioning too. Your quote sets out what’s included: the menu, the service time and any extras you choose.
How we price food truck hire
The same guest numbers can mean different prices, depending on:
- What the venue already provides
- Whether you add a drinks bar or food
- The number of people
- How many staff you need
Catering from a truck or trailer can be a practical alternative to a sit-down meal, because it needs no venue kitchen. Contact us for a quote to compare.
What to tell us
The more we know about your event, the better we can plan. Please include:
- A picture of the space, if it is a garden or field
- Whether you’d like food, drinks or both
- Any dietary needs and allergies
- The date and time of the event
We quote for each event separately, based on what you need. To ask for one, drop us a line using the enquiry form.

Catering for every guest
A Mexican menu is easy to plan for mixed diets, because guests can choose what suits them. Here are a few tips for planning:
- Give us separate numbers for children
- Send allergy details in writing
- Tell us about coeliac guests
- Measure gates and look for low branches on the way in
We drive in at the agreed time and park in the planned spot. Someone on site to meet us makes it smoother.
A taco-bar station can sit next to the truck for a wedding breakfast or lunch.
Space, access and the venue
The route in matters as much as the spot itself. We look for:
- Parking arrangements if we are not on private land
- Distance from houses and windows
- Gate widths, overhead branches and soft ground checked in advance
