Where the truck can go in Hastingleigh
We serve from a truck or trailer, so the spot needs a little planning. These are the things we check:
- Arrangements for power and water, agreed when you book
- Seating or standing room near the truck
- Some space between the truck and nearby homes
If you are unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think.
About our food truck hire in Hastingleigh
A hired food truck works for weddings, birthdays and staff days, and any gathering where guests want hot food without a sit-down meal. It suits winter staff parties and milestone birthdays, serving tacos from the hatch, burritos and burrito bowls.
In a hamlet or village like Hastingleigh, our food truck or trailer can serve a private party or a team day in a field or garden. Guests queue at the hatch, so have some cover ready in case of rain. We will check the space, access and power with you before the day, so set-up goes smoothly.
Working with your venue
Hosting a party at home? Send a photo of the space and tell us about access, and we will let you know if it’s a good fit.
For larger events, we plan serving points around your timings, so guests are looked after quickly. Tell us how long you have for food and drinks.
Planning for every diet
Dietary needs are easy to plan for with a little notice. We suggest:
- Share your running order
- Check parking and loading rules for street locations
- Count children separately
- Check early that your venue allows food trucks
Guests order at the hatch and their food is handed out hot.
Quesadillas make an easy option for children, if you’d like a kids’ choice.
DIY taco night versus a caterer
For a small group, a taco night at home can work well. For larger numbers, mixed diets or a wedding, a caterer takes the pressure off, with allergen information for every dish.
DIY catering keeps costs down, but the host spends the party serving. With a caterer, you get the food and drinks without the work.
The process
The truck or trailer tends to draw a crowd, so we’ll help you choose a spot with room for a queue. We can serve in the rain, but guests will need somewhere covered. By late September, it’s dark in Hastingleigh at around 7:00pm, so a later service will need some lighting. In late May, daylight lasts until about 8:45pm.
- Tell us the date, the location, rough numbers and any diets.
- You get a hatch menu and a quote for the hire.
- 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.
- After service, we close the hatch, pack down and drive away.
Getting ready for the day
- Let us know who to talk to on the day
- Have level hardstanding or firm ground ready
- Ask the venue about power and water
