Food truck hire in Forton
How our food truck hire works in Forton
Our drinks bar can be hired with the truck with margaritas, Mexican beer and aguas frescas, with licensing checked with you. We can add a taco-bar station next to the truck. Popular choices include quesadillas, burritos and loaded nachos, and it suits client hospitality and big birthdays.
For a private or work event near Forton, our food truck or trailer brings its own kitchen; all we need is a level spot, a way in and permission. We turn up ready to serve, and tidy our own area afterwards.
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. Our taco bar guide explains how.
Running your own drinks table is one option, but someone has to serve all evening. See our margarita bar guide.

Questions from Forton
How far is Forton from central London?
Roughly 66 miles from the centre of London, and well within our area.
Can you cater a reception after a service at St John the Evangelist?

What do you need at the venue?
A level, firm spot for the truck or trailer, with access wide and high enough to drive in, plus the venue’s permission. Power and water arrangements are confirmed with each booking.
Can you cater for guests who avoid dairy?
We can. We offer dairy-free options.
What guest numbers do you cater for?
Hiring the truck or trailer typically suits around 50 to 400 guests. Smaller gatherings are looked at case by case.

Yes, children are easy to plan for. Tell us how many and roughly how old, and we’ll plan the menu with them in mind.
How big an event can you cater?
Truck and trailer service usually suits around 50 to 400 guests. Festivals can be bigger, and smaller parties are quoted case by case. Tell us your numbers.
Do you provide allergen information for each dish?
Yes. Tell us about allergies when you book. Under UK rules, caterers must give information on 14 allergens, and we do that for every dish (Food Standards Agency guidance). For severe allergies, please talk to us first.
