Food truck hire for your event in Hipley
Service is planned around your timings: a lunchtime window, an evening service or a longer slot through a party. Tell us when guests should eat and we will plan around it. It suits leaving parties and private outdoor parties, with vegan tacos, quesadillas and burritos.
Near Hipley, a hired food truck in a field or garden suits private parties and work away days alike. Guests order at the hatch, so plan a sheltered spot for the queue in case of rain. Timings are planned around your event, whether that is speeches, a lunch break or a festival schedule.
Planning for every diet
With a little notice, most diets are easy. We suggest:
- Confirm allergies with us in writing
- Ask guests about dietary needs when they reply
- Ask about parking rules if we will be on a road
- Confirm the venue accepts outside caterers and vehicles
The hatch opens at the time you choose, and we cook each order as it comes.
Simple quesadillas suit younger guests.

Questions from Hipley
We’re having a ceremony at Church of the Holy Trinity: can you cater afterwards?
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’ll check the access.
Do you cater in villages like Hipley?
Yes, small places are no problem, given access. Tell us about lanes, gates, ground and parking.
How long are you on site?
That depends on your event and menu. We agree arrival, service and pack-down times with you to suit your day.
How big an event can you cater?
Truck and trailer service typically suits around 50 to 400 guests. Smaller parties are quoted case by case, and festivals can be larger. Send us your numbers and we’ll advise.
Can you cater for special diets?
We plan for diets before the day, though we can’t guarantee there are no traces of any allergen. Guests with severe allergies should talk to us first.
Where can the truck park?
A firm, level spot, a way in that fits the vehicle, and the venue’s agreement. We confirm power and water when you book.
How does private food truck hire work?
We bring our truck or trailer to your venue, park in the agreed spot and serve your guests from the hatch. Only your guests are served.
Do you cook on site?
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.
Where the truck can go in Hipley
Everything is served from our truck or trailer, so where we park matters. These are the things we check:

How the day works
It is a relaxed, well-organised set-up. We agree arrival and serving times in advance, set up our truck or trailer, and get on with serving. December events in Hipley lose the light at about 4:00pm, so choose a well-lit spot for the truck or trailer. In late June, it stays light until about 9:20pm.
- Check our availability for your date.
- We agree a hatch menu and send a quote.
- The spot and the way in are agreed in advance.
- On the day, guests order at the hatch and we cook to order.
- After service, we close up and leave the spot clear.
Preparing for the day
- Send us final numbers and dietary needs in good time
- Choose a level, firm spot for the truck or trailer
- Tell us about narrow gates or low branches

Working with your venue
Venues often have their own rules about outside caterers: vehicle access, arrival times and documents. Tell us what your venue needs and we’ll work to it.
Throwing a party at home? Send a photo of the space and tell us about access, and we will tell you honestly whether a truck or trailer will fit.
Why choose food truck hire in Hipley?
A marquee kitchen with plated service needs more space, more staff and more time. Our food truck or trailer brings the kitchen and serves from one hatch, needing level ground, access and the venue’s permission. Pricing depends on the event. A simple party menu and a full wedding day are very different jobs. Your quote sets it all out.
What you get with us
- Everything served fresh from the hatch
- Allergen-aware menus
- A quote that sets out what’s included
- Food and drinks from one caterer, if you want both

Prices and what affects them
Here’s what makes the biggest difference to the price:
- Parking and the route in
- The number of people
- The menu you choose
- Adding food to drinks, or drinks to food
The cost per head can fall as numbers rise, since the set-up is much the same either way. Give us your numbers and we’ll quote.
Getting an accurate quote
You do not need every detail fixed to get a quote, but it helps to know:
- The date and time of the event
- A picture of where we’d park
- Expected numbers
- What you’d like on the menu
We quote for each event separately, so the price fits what you actually want. To ask for one, drop us a line using the enquiry form.
