How our food truck hire works in Cowley

Around Cowley, a hired food truck can serve in a garden, a field or a hall car park. If the road in is narrow or the ground soft, tell us so we can plan. We will check the space, access and power with you before the day, so there are no surprises on arrival.

Cowley questions
Could you serve in South Park?
It depends on the park’s owner, who would need to agree to a catering vehicle on site. Ask them first; if they say yes, we will send what they need from us.
We’re having a ceremony at Church of St Luke: 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. Send us the reception address.
What’s on the menu?
Every menu is agreed with you. Fillings could include slow-cooked pork carnitas, chicken tinga, beef birria and vegan options such as spiced mushrooms or black beans. Our sample menu has more ideas.
Do you offer a bar with the truck?
We bring bar staff with the drinks bar. We will talk through licensing first.
How much does food truck hire cost?
Each hire is quoted individually, based on guest numbers, the menu, the location and service times. Contact us for a quote.
Is private hire the same as trading at a festival?
At a private hire, we serve your guests and nobody else, on a menu and timings agreed with you. At festivals and markets we trade to the public.
Is the food very hot?
That is your choice: we can keep it mild and put the hotter salsas on the side.
What about vegan and gluten-free guests?
Diets are planned with you in advance, though we can’t guarantee there are no traces of any allergen. Anyone with a severe allergy should contact us before the event.
How the day works
Service is quick and friendly: we serve from the hatch or a serving station, so even a long queue moves. When service ends, we pack down. A hired food truck at a summer event in Cowley can serve in daylight until about 9:25pm at midsummer, while late September brings sunset forward to around 7:10pm. In December it is dark by about 3:55pm, so the queue by the hatch needs lighting.
- Tell us the date, the location, rough numbers and any diets.
- You get a hatch menu and a quote for the hire.
- We confirm the parking spot, access, power and water with you or the venue.
- We arrive, open the hatch and cook to order for your guests.
- Once guests are fed, we clear our area and head off.
Preparing for the day
- Let us know who to talk to on the day
- Pick a flat, firm spot for us to park
- Check gates and access routes are wide and high enough

For planners, venues and organisers
If you are organising for someone else, such as a wedding planner, an office manager or a festival organiser, we’ll work directly with you and the venue. It keeps things simple.
For repeat events, such as annual staff parties or seasonal fairs, let us know your dates early, so we can plan ahead.
Should I do it myself?
A DIY taco night works well for a small group. For big numbers or lots of diets, a caterer makes life easier, and handles allergen information for you.
A DIY taco night is possible for a crowd, but it is more work than it looks. Fillings need slow cooking, tortillas need warming as you go, and salsas need making. Read our guide to taco bars.
How we price food truck hire
We’ll give you a clear quote. What affects it most:
- Distance and access to the venue
- Whether you need disposables
- Serving staff
- How many guests we’re serving
Extra dishes, drinks and longer service are priced on request, so you can choose what you need.
Getting an accurate quote
When you contact us, it helps to tell us:
- A picture of the space, if it’s a garden or field
- Your menu ideas
- Your date and when you want service to start
- Roughly how many adults and children
Send us the date, your venue or OX4 postcode and guest numbers, plus any dietary needs, and you will get menu ideas and a price. To get started, send us your details through our quote form.
Before you choose a spot
We’ll agree the spot with you before the day. A good spot ticks these boxes:
- A parking suspension, where a street spot is needed
- Somewhere for guests to sit or stand and eat
- A spot away from neighbours
Not sure about your space? Send us a picture and we will tell you honestly.
Planning for every diet
A Mexican menu is easy to plan for mixed diets, because guests can choose what suits them. Here are a few tips for planning:
- Count children separately
- Let us know who is coeliac
- Ask guests about dietary needs when they reply
- Share your running order
We drive in at the agreed time and park in the planned spot. It helps if someone can meet us on arrival.
Ask about a second service later in the evening, quoted with the main booking.
