Food truck hire in Hinton Ampner
Food truck hire in Hinton Ampner, served fresh
The truck or trailer is a working kitchen on wheels, so your venue doesn’t need a kitchen. We need a level spot, safe access and the venue’s permission, with power and water confirmed per booking. Popular choices include quesadillas, loaded nachos and vegan tacos, and it suits winter staff parties and garden parties.
In a hamlet or village like Hinton Ampner, our food truck or trailer can serve a private party or a team day in a field or garden. Guests order at the hatch, so plan a sheltered spot for the queue in case of rain. You can book food, drinks or both, so the food and drinks can come from one caterer.
How the day works
Once service is over, we pack up and leave our area tidy. Set-up and pack-down times are agreed with you and the venue. Planning a private evening event in Hinton Ampner? Sunset is around 8:55pm in late May and 9:25pm in late June. After that, festoon lights or lamps near the truck help guests order.
- First come the basics: date, location, numbers and diets.
- We suggest a menu for the hatch and quote for it.
- We confirm the parking spot, access, power and water with you or the venue.
- We arrive, open the hatch and cook to order for your guests.
- After service, we close the hatch, pack down and drive away.

Diets, allergies and planning
A Mexican menu is easy to plan for mixed diets, because options can be kept separate. A few tips:
- Think about cover if the weather turns
- Count children separately
- Ask the venue about catering vehicles before booking
- Check parking and loading rules for street locations
At the end of service, we close the hatch and pack down.
Our Mexican drinks bar, with margaritas, Mexican beer and aguas frescas can be added to the booking, with licensing checked with you.
Common questions in Hinton Ampner
Do you come out to small places like Hinton Ampner?
Yes. Villages and hamlets are part of our area, and the main thing is access: tell us about the lane, the gate and the ground.
How far is Hinton Ampner from central London?
It’s about 55 miles from central London, and inside the area we cover.
Can you do dairy-free food?
Yes, on request. Let us know your dairy-free numbers, and we’ll plan the menu around them.
How much space do you need?
Access and level ground matter most: a firm spot for the truck or trailer, room for a queue and, for a taco bar, space for a serving table. If in doubt, send us a picture of the space and the way in.
Can you cater for special diets?
Diets are planned with you in advance, though we cannot guarantee there are no traces of any allergen. Guests with severe allergies should talk to us first.
What about power on site?
Tell us what the site has, such as a supply from the venue near where we will park, and we’ll confirm what we need with your quote.
How far ahead should we book?
The sooner the better. Peak dates go quickly, so it pays to ask early.
What if the weather’s bad?
We can serve from the hatch in the rain. Plan cover for guests, such as a marquee or gazebo, and let us know if the ground gets soft after heavy rain.
