Food truck hire for East Hendred events
Should I do it myself?
DIY catering keeps costs down, but the host spends the party serving. With a caterer, you get the food and drinks without the work.
For a small group, a taco night at home can work well. For big numbers or lots of diets, a caterer makes life easier, and handles allergen information for you.
How our food truck hire works in East Hendred
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 the menu and timings are set around your event. It suits garden parties and family celebrations, serving quesadillas, burrito bowls and vegan tacos.
Somewhere as small as East Hendred, food truck hire can mean a garden, a field or a barn. Tell us about narrow lanes, gates and long drives. Firm ground matters, especially after rain. We plan the timings around your day, whether that’s speeches, a lunch break or a festival schedule.

- We suggest a menu for the hatch and quote for it.
- We confirm the parking spot, access, power and water with you or the venue.

Planners, venues and businesses
If you’re organising for someone else, such as a wedding planner, an office manager or a festival organiser, we will work directly with you and the venue. It keeps things simple.
If your event is in a public space, such as a park, check what permission you need first. We’ll provide the information the landowner or council asks for from us.
Planning the serving area
Plenty of outdoor spaces and venues work for us, but there are a few things to check:
- A parking suspension, where a street spot is needed
- The venue’s or landowner’s permission for a food truck
- Gate widths, overhead branches and soft ground checked in advance
If you are unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think before booking.
About the menu
Burritos
Rice, beans, a filling and salsa wrapped in a big tortilla.
Tacos from the hatch

Questions from East Hendred
Do you cater in the North Wessex Downs National Landscape?
Yes. Some venues there have rules about vehicles, ground and catering, so check with yours. We will follow the site rules.
Could we book your food truck for a private event in East Hendred?
Yes, subject to the date and access for the truck or trailer. Let us know about access and where we’d park.
Can you do dairy-free food?
Yes. We offer dairy-free options, and we’ll tell you which dishes contain milk.
Do you have vegan options?
Yes. Vegetarian and vegan fillings, such as spiced mushrooms or black beans, can be part of the menu, served alongside the meat options.
How much space do you need?
The main things are access and a level spot: a level spot to park, space for guests to queue and a little room for a serving table. Send us a picture and tell us about gates, slopes and soft ground.
What about power on site?
Let us know what’s available on site, for example a supply from the venue, and we will confirm what we need with your quote.
Do you provide allergen information for each dish?
Yes. Tell us about allergies when you book. UK law requires caterers to provide information on 14 allergens, and we do that for every dish (Food Standards Agency guidance). Anyone with a severe allergy should speak to us before the event.
Do you sell to the public at private events?
Private hire means we serve only your guests, with a menu and timings you agree with us. At festivals and markets we trade to the public; see our street food catering page.
