- The length of service
- What the venue already provides
- Serving staff
- Your choice of food and drinks
There is no one-size-fits-all price for food truck hire. A simple party menu and a full wedding day are very different jobs. Your quote sets it all out.

- Approximate guest numbers, including children
- Whether you’d like food, drinks or both
- How we drive in and where we can park
- Vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free, dairy-free and allergy numbers
The quickest way to a quote is to fill in our quote form. Give us the details of your event, and we’ll put together a menu and price.
How our food truck hire works in Dunsden Green
The truck or trailer is a working kitchen on wheels, so there’s no need for kitchen space at the venue. What we do need is level ground, a way in and the venue’s agreement, with power and water confirmed per booking. At client hospitality and family celebrations, we can serve tacos from the hatch, vegan tacos and burritos.
In a rural place like Dunsden Green, access is the main thing to plan for a hired truck: the gate, the ground and the distance from the lane. We confirm power and water arrangements with you. Guests are served from our truck or trailer, or from a serving table nearby, and we plan service so the queue keeps moving.
What happens on the day
We work to your timings. If speeches run late or the photos take longer, let us know and we will adjust where we can. Evening events in Dunsden Green stay light until about 9:25pm at midsummer. Once it’s dark, some lighting near the hatch makes ordering easier.
