Food truck hire in Great Lea Common
Food truck hire in Great Lea Common, from our truck or trailer
The truck or trailer is a working kitchen on wheels, so there’s no need for kitchen space at the venue. What we do need is level ground, a way in and the venue’s agreement, with power and water confirmed per booking. It suits milestone birthdays and summer parties at home, with vegan tacos, burritos and quesadillas.
Somewhere as small as Great Lea Common, 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. Your quote sets out what’s included: the menu, the service time and any extras you choose.

DIY taco night versus a caterer
If you do it yourself, work out quantities first: our guide to how many tacos per person helps. Keep tortillas warm in a covered basket, and label anything containing allergens.
A DIY taco night is possible for a crowd, but it’s more work than it looks. There are fillings to slow-cook, tortillas to keep warm and salsas to make. Our taco bar guide explains how.
Dietary needs and planning tips
We take diets and allergies seriously. Help us by following these steps:
- Guests with serious allergies should contact us first
- Let us know who is coeliac
- Share your running order
- Check parking and loading rules for street locations
If your timings move, let us know, and we’ll work around it.
Add a build-your-own taco bar beside the truck for a wedding breakfast or lunch.
Your questions about food truck hire in Great Lea Common
Can you cater a reception after a service at St Paul's Church?
Yes. The church itself isn’t where we’d set up, but a hall, field or garden close by with room for the truck or trailer can work well. Let us know the reception address and we’ll check the access.
Could you serve in Pearman's Copse?
It depends on the park’s owner, who would need to agree to a catering vehicle on site. Ask them first; if they say yes, we will send what they need from us.
What do you need at the venue?
Level, firm ground or hardstanding for the truck or trailer, and a route in it can fit through, plus the venue’s permission. We confirm power and water with you for each booking.
Do you cater for coeliacs?
Yes, with corn tortillas. Corn is naturally gluten-free, though some sauces and toppings can contain gluten, so we check every dish and give allergen information.
Is food truck hire good for weddings?
Wedding food from a truck feels relaxed and sociable, especially in the evening. We will check access and timings with your venue.
Can you cater for children?
Yes. Mild dishes, quesadillas and nachos can be part of the menu. Include children in your numbers.
What does food truck hire cost?
We quote for each event, so the price fits what you want. Tell us your date and numbers and we’ll reply with a quote.
Are plates and napkins included?
Please ask us. Tell us what your venue provides, and we’ll confirm what’s included with your quote.
