Food truck hire in Highclere
Food truck hire in Highclere, from our food truck or trailer
We bring the truck or trailer to private and work events in and around Highclere: gardens, venue grounds, car parks and business parks. Popular choices include burritos, burrito bowls and quesadillas, and it’s a good fit for end-of-year parties and family celebrations.
Somewhere as small as Highclere, food truck hire can mean a garden, a field or a barn. Lanes, gates and long drives are fine if we know about them. Soft ground after rain is worth mentioning too. You can book food, drinks or both, so the food and drinks can come from one caterer.

FAQs for Highclere
Which station should guests use for Highclere?
Guests can use Newbury station, about 4.3 miles north-east of Highclere.
Do you hire out your food truck for parties in places like Highclere?
Yes, as long as we’re available on the date and can get the truck or trailer in. Tell us about the lane, gates, ground and parking.
Can you cater for guests who avoid dairy?
We can. We offer dairy-free options, and we’ll tell you which dishes contain milk.
Can we add drinks?
We bring bar staff with the drinks bar. Alcohol needs the right licence, which we’ll check with you.
Is the food made fresh?
Food is cooked to order in our food truck or trailer, or served from a build-your-own taco bar. Slow-cooked fillings are prepared in advance and kept hot on site.
Can you serve in the rain?
Rain does not generally stop service from the truck or trailer. Plan cover for guests, such as a marquee or gazebo, and tell us if heavy rain could make the ground soft.
How much is food truck hire?
We do not publish set prices, because each hire is different. Send your details and you’ll get a quote. Our food truck hire guide explains what affects the cost.
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.

Before you choose a spot
The route in matters as much as the spot itself. We look for:
- Space in front of the hatch for guests to queue
- Distance from houses and windows
- Seating or standing room near the truck
If you’re unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think before you book.
What we offer
- Burritos
- Burrito bowls
- Tacos
- Mexican drinks bar
- Loaded nachos
- Quesadillas
Food truck hire or something else?
A marquee kitchen with plated service needs more space, more staff and more time. A food truck arrives as a kitchen and serves from the hatch, needing level ground, access and the venue’s permission. There is no one-size-fits-all price for food truck hire. A short lunch service for a team is a different job from a full wedding day. Your quote sets it all out.
Why book with us

Service starts when your timings say, and we cook each order as it comes.
