How our food truck hire works in Great Stonar
Food truck hire means our truck or trailer is booked for your guests only. Unlike a stall at a festival or market, it’s a private hire, so we plan the menu and service times around you. Popular choices include fresh salsas and guacamole, burrito bowls and tacos from the hatch, which works well for leaving dos and retirements and private parties in fields and grounds.
Somewhere as small as Great Stonar, 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. You can book food, drinks or both, so one caterer can cover more of the day.
Catering for every guest
A little planning makes sure everyone can eat. Here’s how:
- Put anyone with a severe allergy in touch with us
- Confirm the venue accepts outside caterers and vehicles
- Check parking and loading rules for street locations
- Collect diets and allergies with your RSVPs
Wet weather does not close the hatch, but guests will want a covered area to eat.
Loaded nachos to share while the first orders cook.

DIY taco night or a caterer?
Doing it yourself? Start with the quantities: our guide to how many tacos per person helps. Keep warmed tortillas covered, and label anything containing allergens.
Plenty of people try a DIY taco night at home. Common snags are cold tortillas, uneven quantities and the host missing the party. If you’d rather be with your guests, we will do the serving.
