Food truck hire for Hartlip events
Food truck hire for your event in Hartlip
Our food truck or trailer is available to hire for events across Hartlip and nearby, from gardens to venue grounds and business parks. At weddings and client events and product launches, we can serve burritos, fresh salsas and guacamole and vegan tacos and more.
Near Hartlip, a hired food truck in a field or garden suits private parties and work away days alike. Guests queue at the hatch, so have some cover ready in case of rain. Guests are served from our food truck or trailer, or from a serving table nearby, and we plan the service around your numbers.
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.
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.
What we need at the venue
Every venue is different, so we will ask about yours before we confirm. Generally, we look for:
- Power and water details confirmed in advance
- A spot away from neighbours
- Seating or standing room near the truck
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and the access, and we will advise.

FAQs for Hartlip
Can you cater a reception after a service at Church of St Michael?
Yes. The church itself is not 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 will check the access.
Do you cater in villages like Hartlip?
Yes, small places are no problem, given access. Tell us about lanes, gates, ground and parking.
Do you cater for vegetarian guests?
Yes, and we plan them in from the start. Tell us your numbers when you ask for a quote.
What about power on site?
That depends on the set-up, and we agree power and water with you before the day. Let us know whether there’s a supply near where we’ll park.
What space does the truck need?
Tell us where you’d like the truck, and we will check the access. Our guide to space and power has more.
Do you cater for coeliacs?
Yes, we offer gluten-free options, using corn tortillas. Let us know about coeliac guests in advance so we can explain how we prepare their food. See are corn tortillas gluten-free?
Do you provide plates and napkins?
Ask us when you enquire. Tell us what your venue provides, and we’ll confirm what’s included with your quote.
What if the weather’s bad?
We can keep serving from the truck or trailer in the rain, but guests need somewhere covered to eat and drink, like a marquee or gazebo.
Planning for every diet
Dietary needs are easy to plan for with a little notice. We suggest:
- Measure gates and look for low branches on the way in
- Confirm allergies with us in writing
- Ask guests about dietary needs when they reply

Food truck hire or something else?
A private hire is not the same as a festival stall. At a festival we trade to the public; a private hire means your guests, your menu and your timings. Comparing caterers? Look at what each quote includes: service time, staff, plates and napkins, travel and VAT. Our quote sets out what’s included.
Why us?
- A menu agreed with you
- Quoted for your event
- Options for vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and dairy-free guests
- Food and drinks from one caterer, if you want both
