How our food truck hire works in Elmfield
We bring the truck or trailer to private and work events in and around Elmfield. For wedding evening food and winter staff parties, we can serve burrito bowls, loaded nachos and tacos from the hatch.
For a place the size of Elmfield, food truck hire at your own home is often simplest: no venue hire, and guests order at the hatch. Let us know about the route to the house. We prepare everything fresh for your event and serve it straight from our food truck or trailer, so guests get it at its best.

For planners, venues and organisers
Many venues have rules for outside caterers: where vehicles can park, access times and the paperwork they need. Tell us what your venue needs and we’ll work to it.
Wedding planners and venue coordinators are welcome to contact us directly, and we’ll keep everyone informed on the day.
Dietary needs and planning tips
Allergies and diets are taken seriously. Help us by following these steps:
- Collect diets and allergies with your RSVPs
- Have shelter ready in case of rain
- Count children separately
- Agree service times with us
Guests come to the hatch, order and wait a short moment for hot food.
Add a build-your-own taco bar beside the truck for a wedding breakfast or lunch.
The menu, item by item
Burrito bowls
A bowl is a good choice for guests avoiding tortillas.
Tacos from the hatch
Warm tortillas filled to order and finished with salsa, with fillings such as carnitas, chicken tinga or spiced mushroom.
What we need at the venue
We will be honest if a space will not work. What matters most:
- Distance from houses and windows
- A place for guests to eat close to the hatch
- Any parking or loading permission needed for street locations
Elmfield is a more remote spot, so tell us early and we will plan the journey and access for the truck or trailer.
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and the access, and we’ll advise.

Common questions in Elmfield
Which station is closest to Elmfield?
Guests can use Ryde St Johns Road station, which is right in Elmfield.
Can you serve near the sea around Elmfield?
Yes, as long as the site allows it and the ground is firm. Seafront and beach spots typically need permission, and wind is the main thing to plan for.
How is private hire different from festival trading?
A private hire is booked and quoted for you, so we do not serve passers-by. Event organisers should see street food for festivals.
Can you keep it mild?
The food can be kept mild, and hotter salsas go on the side for guests who like heat.
Do you need electricity?
That depends on the set-up, so we confirm power and water arrangements with each booking. Tell us what’s available at your venue.
How long do you serve for?
That depends on your event and menu. Timings are agreed in advance so everything fits your schedule.
Can we hire a bar too?
You can add our drinks bar, serving margaritas, Mexican beer, aguas frescas and soft drinks. Licensing is checked with you.
How much does food truck hire cost in Elmfield?
The price depends on numbers, menu, service time and where your event is. Contact us for a quote.
What else we do in Elmfield
Food truck hire or something else?
A DIY barbecue keeps a host at the grill. Hire the truck and the cooking is ours. There’s no one-size-fits-all price for food truck hire. A short lunch service for a team is a different job from a full wedding day. Contact us for a quote.

What food truck hire costs
Each event is quoted on its own, based on a few main things:
- What the venue already provides
- Food, drinks or both
- Guest numbers
- The menu you choose
Access and travel can make a difference to the cost, so it helps to tell us about your venue. The full price is confirmed in your quote.
Details that help
You don’t need every detail fixed to get a quote, but these help:
- Roughly how many adults and children
- Whether you’d like food, drinks or both
- A picture of the space, if it is a garden or field
- Your date and when you want service to start
Most quotes start with a few simple details: date, location, guest numbers and diets. Contact us for a quote: just send us your details through our quote form.
DIY taco night versus a caterer
You can set up your own drinks table, but someone has to serve all evening. See our margarita bar guide.
Some hosts like to do it themselves. The usual problems are cold tortillas, running out of a popular filling and a host stuck at the stove. If you’d rather enjoy the party, let us serve.
How the day works
Once service is over, we pack up and leave our area tidy. Set-up and pack-down times are agreed with you and the venue. Planning a private evening event in Elmfield? Sunset is around 8:55pm in late May and 9:20pm in late June. After that, festoon lights or lamps near the truck help guests order.
- Tell us the date, the location, rough numbers and any diets.
- We check availability and send a menu and a quote for hiring the truck or trailer.
- Before the day, we agree the spot, the way in, power and water.
- On the day we drive in, set up and serve to order from the hatch.
- Once guests are fed, we clear our area and head off.
How to prepare
- Tell us about narrow gates or low branches
- Tell us what power and water the site has
- Arrange somewhere covered for guests to eat
