How our food truck hire works in Gold Street
Food truck hire suits weddings, milestone birthdays and staff events, and any gathering where guests want hot food without a sit-down meal. It works well for leaving dos and retirements and end-of-year parties, with tacos from the hatch, burritos and loaded nachos.
In a small place like Gold Street, a hired food truck might park in a garden, paddock or field. Tell us about narrow lanes, gates and long drives. Soft ground after rain is worth mentioning too. You can book food, drinks or both, so one caterer can cover more of the day.

- How many staff you need
- Distance and access to the venue
- Food, drinks or both
- The length of service
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.

About the menu
Loaded nachos
Nachos are good for sharing between friends; dairy-free versions can be planned.
Burritos
Burritos suit hungry guests and travel well from the hatch.
The process
When service finishes, we pack up and leave our area tidy. We agree set-up and pack-down times with you and your venue. At midsummer, it stays light in Gold Street until about 9:20pm, and by late September sunset is about 7:00pm. In December it is dark by about 3:50pm, so the queue by the hatch needs lighting.
- Ask us whether your date is available.
- 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.
- After service, we close up and leave the spot clear.
Preparing for the day
- Send us final numbers and dietary needs in good time
- Plan a covered area for guests if rain is likely
- Ask the venue about power and water

Common questions in Gold Street
Could you serve in Camer Park Country Park?
Only if the landowner, often the council, allows it. Ask them first, and we’ll help with the information they need from us.
How far is Gold Street from London?
It is about 22 miles from central London, and inside the area we cover.
Do you take everything away?
We pack down and tidy our own area after service. Ask us if you’d like help with anything else.
Is the truck suitable for a large group?
Hiring the truck or trailer generally suits around 50 to 400 guests. Smaller parties are quoted case by case.
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.
How is private hire different from festival trading?
At a private hire, we serve your guests and nobody else, with a menu and timings you agree with us. At festivals and markets we trade to the public; see our street food catering page.
Can you run a bar?
Yes. The drinks bar can be added to food or booked on its own. We’ll check the licensing for alcohol with you.
How much is food truck hire?
There is no fixed price list, as every booking is different. Send your details and you’ll get a quote. See the Mexican catering cost guide for background.
Should I do it myself?
A DIY taco night is possible for a crowd, but it is more work than it looks. Fillings need slow cooking, tortillas need warming as you go, and salsas need making. Our taco bar guide explains how.
If you do it yourself, work out quantities first: our guide to how many tacos per person helps. Keep warmed tortillas covered, and label anything containing allergens.
Catering for every guest
We take diets and allergies seriously. Here’s how you can help:
- Give us separate numbers for children
- Tell us when guests should eat
- Let us know who is coeliac
- Check early that your venue allows food trucks
At the end of service, we close the hatch and pack down, leaving our spot tidy.
Ask about a second service later in the evening, quoted with the main booking.
