Food truck hire in Eddington, from our truck or trailer
You could pick fillings such as chicken tinga, carnitas or beef birria, with vegan choices like black bean and sweet potato. There are options for gluten-free, dairy-free, vegetarian and vegan guests. We serve burritos, quesadillas and fresh salsas and guacamole, which works well for leaving dos and retirements and parties in venue grounds.
Around Eddington, a hired food truck can serve in a garden, a field or a hall car park. Narrow roads and soft ground are fine if we know about them. We arrive ready to serve, and clear our own area when service is finished.

Food comes from the hatch hot, one order at a time, not left standing on a buffet.

Before you choose a spot
Every venue is different, so we ask about the space before we confirm. Generally, we look for:
- Somewhere for guests to sit or stand and eat
- The venue’s or landowner’s permission for a food truck
- Room for guests to gather at the hatch
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and the access, and we will advise before you book.
FAQs for Eddington
Do you cater at coastal events near Eddington?
We can, given firm ground and the landowner’s permission. Beaches and promenades normally need the council’s agreement, so check that first.
How far is Eddington from London?
It’s about 53 miles from central London, and inside the area we cover.
Is the truck suitable for a large group?
Truck and trailer service usually suits around 50 to 400 guests. Smaller gatherings are looked at case by case.
What access do you need?
Level, firm ground or hardstanding for the truck or trailer, and a route in it can fit through, plus the venue’s permission. Power and water arrangements are confirmed with each booking.
How is private hire different from festival trading?
At a private hire, we serve your guests and nobody else, on a menu and timings agreed with you. Festival and market trading is open to the public; see our street food catering page.
What if the weather’s bad?
We can keep serving from the truck or trailer in the rain, but guests need somewhere covered to eat and drink, such as a marquee, gazebo or nearby building.
Can guests build their own tacos?
Yes, a taco bar is one of our options. Let us know your numbers and space and we will recommend how to serve.
Do you have options for kids?
Yes. Mild dishes, quesadillas and nachos can be part of the menu. Tell us how many children are coming.

The process
The truck or trailer tends to draw a crowd, so we plan a spot with space for people to queue. We can serve in the rain, though guests will want somewhere covered to stand or sit. A hired food truck at a summer event in Eddington can serve in daylight until about 9:15pm at midsummer, while late September brings sunset forward to around 7:00pm. In December it is dark by about 3:50pm, so the queue by the hatch needs lighting.
- First come the basics: date, location, numbers and diets.
- We check availability and send a menu and a quote for hiring the truck or trailer.
- 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.
Getting ready for the day

DIY taco night or a caterer?

Dietary needs and planning tips
Allergies and diets are taken seriously. Here’s how you can help:
- Guests with serious allergies should contact us first

Comparing your options
Cooking yourself saves on catering but costs you the day. With a hired truck, we do the cooking. There’s 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.
