Food truck hire in Great Shoddesden, served fresh
As a guide, hiring the truck or trailer suits around 50 to 400 guests. Smaller parties are quoted case by case, so tell us how many you expect. Popular choices include quesadillas, burrito bowls and tacos from the hatch, and it is a good fit for summer parties at home and big birthdays.
Somewhere as small as Great Shoddesden, food truck hire can mean a garden, a field or a barn. Lanes, gates and long drives are fine if we know about them. Firm ground matters, especially after rain. We prepare everything fresh for your event and serve it straight from our food truck or trailer.
Where the truck can go in Great Shoddesden
No two venues are the same, so we ask about the space before we confirm. In general, we need:
- Any parking or loading permission needed for street locations
- The venue’s or landowner’s permission for a food truck
- Seating or standing room near the truck
Not sure about your space? Send us a picture and we will tell you honestly before booking.
Comparing your options
Plated catering needs a kitchen tent, waiting staff and set courses. Our truck or trailer brings the kitchen and serves from one hatch. Catering from a truck or trailer can be a practical alternative to a sit-down meal, because it needs no venue kitchen. Ask us for a quote.

DIY taco night versus a caterer
Not sure whether to do it yourself or book a caterer? Think about numbers, diets and how much you want to enjoy the day. Ask us for a quote and compare.
Some hosts like to do it themselves. The usual problems are cold tortillas, running out of a popular filling and a host stuck at the stove. If you’d rather enjoy the party, let us serve.
