About our food truck hire in Gallowstree Common
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. At company away days and weddings, we will put together a menu of burritos, fresh salsas and guacamole and loaded nachos and more.
In a small place like Gallowstree Common, a hired food truck might park in a garden, paddock or field. Lanes, gates and long drives are fine if we know about them. Soft ground after rain is worth mentioning too. Timings are planned around your event, so service starts when you want it.
Dietary needs and planning tips
We cater for vegan, vegetarian, dairy-free and gluten-free guests. To make it work smoothly:
- Collect diets and allergies with your RSVPs
- Confirm the venue accepts outside caterers and vehicles
- Tell us about coeliac guests
- Share your running order
When service ends, we pack away.
Ask about a second service later in the evening.
How the day works
The truck or trailer tends to draw a crowd, so we’ll help you choose a spot with room for a queue. We can serve in the rain, but guests will need somewhere covered. Late-September events in Gallowstree Common see sunset at about 7:10pm, so a later service will need some lighting. In late May, daylight lasts until about 8:55pm.
- Ask us whether your date is available.
- We agree a hatch menu and send a quote.
- The spot and the way in are agreed in advance.
- We drive in, open the hatch and serve your guests.
- After service, we close up and leave the spot clear.
Before we arrive
- Check gates and access routes are wide and high enough
- Choose a level, firm spot for the truck or trailer
- Share the running order, including any speeches
