Food truck hire for your event in Hammerwood
Everyone orders at the hatch and gets food cooked to order. It keeps things easy and relaxed for guests and hosts. It suits engagement parties and launch events, with vegan tacos, burrito bowls and quesadillas.
In a rural place like Hammerwood, access is the main thing to plan for a hired truck: the gate, the ground and the distance from the lane. Power and water may be limited, so we confirm the arrangements before the day. Timings are planned around your event, so service starts when you want it.

Before you choose a spot
We will agree the spot with you before the day. A good spot ticks these boxes:
- A clear area for a queue at the hatch
- Some space between the truck and nearby homes
- The landowner’s go-ahead for the truck or trailer
If you are unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think before you book.

Catering for every guest
Mixed diets are straightforward to plan for, because options can be kept separate. Here are a few tips for planning:
- Collect diets and allergies with your RSVPs
- Send allergy details in writing
- Agree service times with us
- Check gate widths and any height limits
We arrive in the agreed window and park where we have arranged. It helps if someone can meet us on arrival.
Add a build-your-own taco bar beside the truck for a wedding breakfast or lunch.
Common questions in Hammerwood
Which station is closest to Hammerwood?
The closest is Dormans station, roughly 2.4 miles away.
Could we book your food truck for a private event in Hammerwood?
Yes, depending on the date. For a private or work event in a village or hamlet, the main thing is access: tell us about the lane, the gate and the ground.
What guest numbers do you cater for?
That depends on your timings and the event. Most bookings fall around 50 to 400 guests, so tell us your numbers.
What happens if it rains?
The truck or trailer can serve in the rain, but guests need somewhere covered to eat and drink, such as a marquee, gazebo or nearby building.
How big an event can you cater?
It depends on the menu and how long service runs, but our truck and trailer service typically suits around 50 to 400 guests. For anything outside that, ask us.
Is the food suitable for children?
Yes, children are easy to plan for. Let us know numbers and ages, and we will suggest mild options.
What does it cost to hire the truck?
We quote for every hire, depending on numbers, menu, location and timings. Contact us for a quote.
Can you do dairy-free food?
Yes. We offer dairy-free options, and we will tell you which dishes contain milk.
Organising for someone else?
For repeat events, such as annual staff parties or seasonal fairs, let us know your dates early, so we can check the date.
Booking for a company? Tell us what your finance team needs, and we will talk you through the process. We are happy to liaise with facilities on access and timings.
What food truck hire costs
The price comes down to a few factors:
- Your choice of food and drinks
- Distance and access to the venue
- The number of people
- Serving staff
Larger events can cost less per head, because the set-up is similar for different sizes of event. Tell us your numbers for an accurate price.
What we need to know
These details help us quote quickly:
- A picture of where we’d park
- Any dietary needs and allergies
- The venue or postcode
- How we drive in and where we can park
We quote for each event separately, based on what you need. To ask for one, fill in our quote form.
Should I do it myself?
For a small group, a taco night at home can work well. For big numbers or lots of diets, a caterer makes life easier, with allergen information for every dish.
If you do it yourself, work out quantities first: our guide to how many tacos per person helps. Keep warmed tortillas covered, and label anything containing allergens.
