Food truck hire near Guston
Food truck hire in Guston, served fresh
When you hire our food truck, it serves your guests and nobody else. Unlike a stall at a festival or market, it’s a private hire, so the menu and timings are set around your event. On the menu are tacos from the hatch, burritos and fresh salsas and guacamole, and it suits staff summer parties and end-of-year parties.
Somewhere as small as Guston, 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. We will check the space, access and power with you before the day, so there are no surprises on arrival.
How it works
Once service is over, we pack up and leave our area tidy. Set-up and pack-down times are agreed with you and the venue. Evening events in Guston stay light until about 9:15pm at midsummer. Once it is dark, some lighting near the hatch makes ordering easier.
- Tell us the date, the location, rough numbers and any diets.
- We suggest a menu for the hatch and quote for it.
- Where the truck or trailer will stand, the route in, and power and water are all agreed in advance.
- Your guests order at the hatch and we serve hot food at the agreed times.
- Once guests are fed, we clear our area and head off.
Getting ready for the day
- Plan a covered area for guests if rain is likely
- Choose a level, firm spot for the truck or trailer
- Check gates and access routes are wide and high enough
Getting a price

Your questions about food truck hire in Guston
Can you serve near the sea around Guston?
We can, given firm ground and the landowner’s permission. Beaches and promenades typically need the council’s agreement, so check that first.
How far is Guston from London?
It is about 66 miles from central London, and inside the area we cover.
How soon do we need to book?
As soon as you have a date. Popular dates go first, so it pays to ask early.
Do you have vegan options?
Yes, and we plan them in from the start. Let us know how many vegetarian and vegan guests to expect, and we’ll keep their options separate.
How much space do you need?
The main things are access and a level spot: a level spot to park, space for guests to queue and a little room for a serving table. Send us a picture and tell us about gates, slopes and soft ground.
Can you come to a private house?
It depends on access. If the truck or trailer cannot reach the garden, a drive or a spot nearby may work, with permission. Tell us about the space and we’ll advise.
Is private hire the same as trading at a festival?
When you hire us, the booking is yours, so we don’t serve passers-by. Event organisers should see street food for festivals.
Is the food very hot?
That is your choice: we can keep it mild and put the hotter salsas on the side.
Space, access and the venue
Before the day, we’ll agree where we park and serve. It needs to meet a few simple requirements:
- Seating or standing room near the truck
- A spot away from neighbours
- Room for guests to gather at the hatch
If you are unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think before booking.
How it compares
A marquee kitchen with plated service needs more space, more staff and more time. Our truck or trailer brings the kitchen and serves from one hatch. Got a budget? Let us know, and we’ll suggest a menu to match. Even a simple menu can feel generous.

Dietary needs and planning tips
A little planning makes sure everyone can eat. Here’s how:
- Agree service times with us
- Look into parking permissions if the truck cannot go off-road
- Confirm the venue accepts outside caterers and vehicles
- Email us any allergies
Guests order at the hatch and their food is handed out hot.
Margaritas, Mexican beer and aguas frescas from our drinks bar can join the truck.
Can I do a taco night myself?
Not sure whether to do it yourself or book a caterer? Think about numbers, diets and how much you want to enjoy the day. Contact us for a quote to compare.
Doing it yourself saves money, but the host ends up in the kitchen. With a caterer, you get the food and drinks without the work.
