How our food truck hire works in Cousley Wood
As a guide, hiring the truck or trailer suits around 50 to 400 guests. Smaller parties are quoted case by case, so tell us how many you expect. It suits staff appreciation days and parties in venue grounds, serving burrito bowls, burritos and tacos from the hatch.
In a small place like Cousley Wood, a hired food truck might park in a garden, paddock or field. Lanes, gates and long drives are fine if we know about them.

Before you choose a spot
No two venues are the same, so we will ask about yours when you contact us. In general, we need:
- The venue’s or landowner’s permission for a food truck
- Parking arrangements if we are not on private land
- A spot away from neighbours
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and the access, and we’ll advise before you book.
Your questions about food truck hire in Cousley Wood
Can you cater a reception after a service at Rehoboth Chapel?
Yes, at a nearby garden, marquee or hall with access for the truck or trailer. Service would be at the reception venue, not the church. Tell us where the reception will be.
Will you travel to a small place like Cousley Wood?
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.
When should we book?
The sooner the better. Peak dates go quickly, so it pays to ask early.
Do you have dairy-free options?
Yes, on request. Let us know your dairy-free numbers, and we’ll plan the menu around them.
Can you plan for allergies?
Our menus are planned with allergies in mind, nut allergies included, and give allergen information for every dish. We keep options separate, but we can’t promise anything is completely allergen-free. Guests with severe allergies should talk to us before the event.
What happens if it rains?
Rain doesn’t generally stop service from the truck or trailer. Plan cover for guests, such as a marquee or gazebo, and tell us if heavy rain could make the ground soft.
How long are you on site?
It depends on your event. Timings are agreed in advance to suit your day.
What do you serve?
We agree a sample menu with each client. Fillings could include chicken tinga, pork carnitas, al pastor-style pork and vegan options like black beans. See our menu for ideas.

Diets, allergies and planning
Good planning keeps every guest safe and happy. Here’s how:
- Confirm allergies with us in writing
- Ask guests with severe allergies to speak to us beforehand
- Agree service times with us
- Count children separately
We can serve through rain, though a marquee or gazebo helps guests stay dry.
Simple quesadillas suit younger guests.
How it works
We get there well before you want to serve, set up the truck or trailer and get everything ready. When service opens, guests come up to the hatch or serving table. Late-September events in Cousley Wood see sunset at about 7:00pm, so a later service will need some lighting. A late-May event keeps its light until roughly 8:50pm.
- 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.
Preparing for the day
- Name one person we can ask on the day
- Have a marquee or gazebo ready in case of rain
- Confirm the venue allows outside caterers

DIY taco night versus a caterer
You can host your own taco night for a crowd, but it takes planning. There are fillings to slow-cook, tortillas to keep warm and salsas to make. Our taco bar guide explains how.
DIY catering keeps costs down, but the host spends the party serving. With a caterer, you get the food and drinks without the work.
