Food truck hire for Horncastle events
Food truck hire in Horncastle, served fresh
When you hire our food truck, it serves your guests and nobody else. It’s a private booking, not public trading, so the menu and timings are set around your event. It suits wedding evening food and private parties in fields and grounds, with burrito bowls, fresh salsas and guacamole and quesadillas.
Hire our food truck for an event near Horncastle and the kitchen comes with it; we just need level ground, access and the venue’s permission. We arrive ready to serve, and clear our own area when service is finished.
How it works
We need a level, firm spot we can drive the truck or trailer onto, with power and water arrangements agreed beforehand. Send us a photo of the space if you are unsure. By late September, it is dark in Horncastle at around 7:10pm, so a later service will need some lighting. A late-May event keeps its light until roughly 8:55pm.
- Ask us whether your date is available.
- 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.
How to prepare
- Confirm numbers and diets before the day
- Check the venue is happy to have a truck or trailer on site
- Plan a covered area for guests if rain is likely
How to get a price
The quickest way to a quote is to send a quick message through our quote form. Tell us about your event in Horncastle, and we will put together a menu and price.

Common questions in Horncastle
Which station should guests use for Horncastle?
Guests can use Reading West station, about 1.6 miles north-east of Horncastle.
Could you serve in Calcot 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.
Do you give allergen information?
We plan allergen-aware menus, including for nut allergies, and give allergen information for every dish. We keep options separate, but we cannot promise anything is completely allergen-free. Guests with severe allergies should talk to us before the event.
Can you keep it mild?
That is your choice: we can keep it mild and put the hotter salsas on the side. Read more about how spicy Mexican food is.
Are plates and napkins included?
Ask us when you enquire. Tell us what your venue provides, and we will confirm what’s included with your quote.
How much does food truck hire cost in Horncastle?
Every event is quoted individually, based on what you actually need. Tell us your date and numbers and we’ll reply with a quote.
How long are you on site?
We arrive in good time to set up before service. Serving times are agreed with you in advance, along with pack-down.

Is food truck hire right for your event?
A private hire is not the same as a festival stall. At a festival we trade to the public; when you hire us, we serve only your guests, on your timings. Access, parking and the distance to your venue can affect the price, so it helps to tell us about your venue. The full price is confirmed in your quote.

Take a look at our pricing and our guide to catering costs.
How we price food truck hire
Each event is quoted on its own, and the price depends on a few things:
- Whether you need disposables
- Distance and access to the venue
- Staff for serving and the bar
- How long we are needed on site
Larger events can cost less per head, since the set-up is much the same either way. Give us your numbers and we will quote.
Getting an accurate quote
Here’s what makes a quick, accurate quote possible:
- The date and rough timings
- A picture of the space, if it’s a garden or field
- Any dietary needs and allergies
- Whether you’d like food, drinks or both
Not sure what you need yet? No problem: give us the basics about your event, and we’ll suggest a menu. To start, drop us a line using the enquiry form.
Should I do it myself?
Running your own drinks table is one option, but someone has to serve all evening. See our margarita bar guide.
Not sure whether to do it yourself or book a caterer? Think about numbers, diets and how much you want to enjoy the day. Ask us for a quote and compare.
For planners, venues and organisers
If you’re organising for someone else, whether you are a planner, an office manager or an event organiser, we will work directly with you and the venue. It saves passing messages back and forth.
For repeat events, such as annual staff parties or seasonal fairs, let us know your dates early, so we can plan ahead.
Planning the serving area
Access is the first thing to check for a truck or trailer. We need:
- Power and water details confirmed in advance
