Food truck hire in Five Oaks, from our food truck or trailer
Food truck hire means our truck or trailer is booked for your guests only. It’s a private booking, not public trading, so the menu and timings are set around your event. On the menu are loaded nachos, burritos and fresh salsas and guacamole, which works well for company away days and private outdoor parties.
Somewhere as small as Five Oaks, food truck hire can mean a garden, a field or a barn. Tell us about narrow lanes, gates and long drives. Soft ground after rain is worth mentioning too. We arrive ready to serve, and clear our own area when service is finished.

Do you do food truck hire for weddings?
The truck or trailer can serve the wedding breakfast, evening food or both. Timings are agreed with you and your venue. See our food truck wedding guide.
Is the food suitable for children?
Yes. We can keep dishes mild, and simple options such as quesadillas or nachos can be part of the menu. Tell us how many children are coming.
When do you arrive?
We arrive in good time to set up before service. The length of service is agreed when you book, along with pack-down.
How big an event can you cater?
Our truck and trailer service normally suits events of around 50 to 400 guests. Smaller parties are quoted case by case, and festivals can be larger. Send us your numbers and we’ll advise.
Is private hire the same as trading at a festival?
A private hire is booked and quoted for you, so we do not serve passers-by. Organisers wanting us to trade at their event can see our festival page.
Diets, allergies and planning
Nearly every event has some special diets. To plan for them:
- Measure gates and look for low branches on the way in
- Add a dietary question to the invitation
- Think about cover if the weather turns
- Give us separate numbers for children
Guests come to the hatch, order and wait a short moment for hot food.
A taco-bar station can sit next to the truck.
Where the truck can go in Five Oaks
We serve from a truck or trailer, so the spot needs a little planning. These are the things we check:
- Some space between the truck and nearby homes
- Level, solid ground for the vehicle
- The landowner’s go-ahead for the truck or trailer
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and the access, and we’ll advise before you book.
How it compares
Cooking yourself saves on catering but costs you the day. With a hired truck, we do the cooking. There is 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.

Can I do a taco night myself?
You can host your own taco night for a crowd, but it takes planning. Fillings need slow cooking, tortillas need warming as you go, and salsas need making. Read our guide to taco bars.
You can set up your own drinks table, but someone still has to mix, pour and keep an eye on it all evening. See our margarita bar guide.
How it works
Guests tend to gather around the truck, so we plan a spot with space for people to queue. Rain doesn’t generally stop us serving, though guests will want somewhere covered to stand or sit. By late September, it’s dark in Five Oaks at around 7:05pm, so evening service from the truck may run past dusk. In late May, daylight lasts until about 8:50pm.
- Check our availability for your date.
- You get a menu for the hatch and a quote.
- The spot and the way in are agreed in advance.
- On the day, guests order at the hatch and we cook to order.
- We pack down and drive away when service ends.
Getting ready for the day
- Have a marquee or gazebo ready in case of rain
- Measure any gates or arches on the way in
- Have level hardstanding or firm ground ready

What food truck hire costs
The same guest numbers can mean different prices, because of:
- Serving staff
- Your choice of food and drinks
- Whether you need disposables
- Parking and the route in
Larger events can cost less per head, because the set-up is similar for different sizes of event. Tell us your numbers for an accurate price.
Getting an accurate quote
You do not need everything decided to ask for a quote, but it helps to know:
- The date and rough timings
- The address or venue name
- Gate widths, slopes and the ground
- Diets and allergies you know about
We need only a few details to quote: date, location, guest numbers and diets. To send them, use our quote form.
