Planning an event in Goodnestone?
How the day works
The truck or trailer tends to draw a crowd, so we will help you choose a spot with room for a queue. We can serve in the rain, but guests will need somewhere covered. By late September, it’s dark in Goodnestone at around 7:00pm, so evening service from the truck may run past dusk. In late May, daylight lasts until about 8:45pm.
- Tell us what the event is and who’s coming.
- We suggest fillings and dishes for every diet.
- Power, water and timings are agreed with you or the venue.
- Service runs at the times you choose.
- Once service ends, we tidy up and go.
Before we arrive
- Tell us about narrow gates or low branches
- Tell us when you want service to start
- Ask the venue about power and water
Getting a price
Send us the date, your venue or CT3 postcode and guest numbers, along with any dietary needs, and you’ll get menu ideas and a price. To get started, drop us a line using the enquiry form.

About our food truck hire in Goodnestone
The hatch menu is agreed with you: tacos and burritos, with bowls, nachos or quesadillas if you like, finished with salsas and guacamole. At parties in venue grounds and weddings, we’ll put together a menu of burrito bowls, loaded nachos and burritos and more.
Somewhere as small as Goodnestone, food truck hire can mean a garden, a field or a barn. Tell us about narrow lanes, gates and long drives. Firm ground matters, especially after rain. Your quote sets out what’s included: the menu, the service time and any extras you choose.
Where the truck can go in Goodnestone
We serve from a truck or trailer, so where we park matters. These are the things we check:
- A way in wide and high enough for the vehicle
- Parking arrangements if we are not on private land
- Firm, level ground or hardstanding where the truck or trailer can park
