Planning an event in Headington?
For planners, venues and organisers
Hosting a party at home? Send us a photo of the space and tell us about the drive and gates, and we will tell you honestly whether a truck or trailer will fit.
If your event is in a public space, such as a park, check what permission you need first. We can send what the landowner or council needs from us.
Food truck hire in Headington, served fresh
We bring the truck or trailer to private and work events in and around Headington, from gardens to venue grounds and business parks. We serve burritos, loaded nachos and burrito bowls, and it is a good fit for leaving dos and retirements and summer parties at home.

How we price food truck hire
Every event is priced individually, and the price depends on a few things:
- What the venue already provides
- Guest numbers
- How long we’re needed on site
- Parking and the route in
Extra dishes, drinks and longer service are priced on request, so you choose what goes in.
What to tell us
You don’t need everything decided to ask for a quote, but it helps to know:
- Approximate guest numbers, including children
- The venue or postcode
- What power and water the site has
- Gate widths, slopes and the ground
Tell us your date, venue or postcode and roughly how many guests, plus any dietary needs, and you’ll get menu ideas and a price. Just use our quote form.
Catering for every guest
A little planning makes sure everyone can eat. Try these:
- Check parking and loading rules for street locations
- Confirm the venue accepts outside caterers and vehicles
- Confirm allergies with us in writing
- Walk the access route and note narrow gaps
Running late? Tell us.
Quesadillas make an easy option for children, if you’d like a kids’ choice.
DIY taco night or a caterer?
Running your own drinks table is one option, but someone still has to mix, pour and keep an eye on it all evening. Our margarita bar guide has tips.
Doing it yourself? Start with the quantities: our guide to how many tacos per person helps. Keep warmed tortillas covered, and label dishes for guests with allergies.

Food truck hire or something else?
Hiring a food truck is different from finding one at a festival. At public events, anyone can buy; a private hire means your guests, your menu and your timings. Access and travel can make a difference to the cost, so it helps to tell us about your venue. Your quote confirms the full price.

Questions from Headington
Can you bring your truck or trailer to Bury Knowle Park?
It depends on the park’s owner, who would need to agree to a catering vehicle on site. Ask them first; if they say yes, we’ll send what they need from us.
How far is Headington from central London?
It’s about 51 miles from central London, and inside the area we cover.
Is private hire the same as trading at a festival?
At a private hire, we serve your guests and nobody else, with a menu and timings you agree with us. Festival and market trading is open to the public; see our street food catering page.
How long do you serve for?
It depends on your event. Timings are agreed in advance to suit your day.
How far ahead should we book?
Early, particularly for summer Saturdays. Ask about your date even if it’s soon.
Is food truck hire good for weddings?
The truck or trailer can serve the wedding breakfast, evening food or both. We fit service around your running order. Read more in having a food truck at a wedding.
Can you cater for special diets?
We plan for diets before the day, though we cannot guarantee there are no traces of any allergen. Anyone with a severe allergy should contact us before the event.
What’s on the menu?
Every menu is agreed with you. Fillings could include chicken tinga, pork carnitas, al pastor-style pork and vegan options like black beans. Our sample menu has more ideas.
Where the truck can go in Headington
Every venue is different, so we ask about the space when you get in touch. In general, we need:
- Any parking or loading permission needed for street locations
- Distance from houses and windows
- A way in wide and high enough for the vehicle
If you’re unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think before you book.

Roughly 51 miles separate Headington from central London, close enough for a London team’s away day. Parks such as Bury Knowle Park usually need permission for vehicles and catering, so a garden or hired venue is often simpler.

The process
We need a level, firm spot we can drive the truck or trailer onto, with power and water arrangements agreed beforehand. A photo of the space helps. By late September, it’s dark in Headington at around 7:10pm, so evening service from the truck may run past dusk. In late May, daylight lasts until about 9:00pm.
- Send us your date, the address, a headcount and dietary needs.
- 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.
- On the day we drive in, set up and serve to order from the hatch.
- When service ends, we pack up and leave the spot clear.
Before we arrive
- Give us your final numbers and diets
- Pick a flat, firm spot for us to park
- Give us a contact for the day
How to get a price
Each quote is tailored to your event. Give us your date and numbers, and we will check availability at the same time.
