Food truck hire for your event in Houghton Green
A hired food truck works for weddings, birthdays and staff days. It works well for private outdoor parties and leaving parties, with fresh salsas and guacamole, quesadillas and tacos from the hatch.
In a rural place like Houghton Green, access is the main thing to plan for a hired truck: the gate, the ground and the distance from the lane. Power and water may be limited, so we confirm the arrangements before the day. Every guest is catered for, vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and dairy-free included, with allergen information for everything we serve.

Houghton Green questions
Can we hire your food truck for a private party in Houghton Green?
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.
How far is Houghton Green from London?
About 51 miles from central London, and well within our area.
Do you give allergen information?
Yes, and it helps to hear about allergies when you book. UK law requires caterers to provide information on 14 allergens, and we do that for every dish (Food Standards Agency guidance). Anyone with a severe allergy should speak to us before the event.
Is the food very hot?
The food can be kept mild, and hotter salsas go on the side for guests who like heat.
Do you do parties at home?
Yes, as long as there is access and a level, firm spot. Send us a photo of the access and the space.
Do you cater for dietary needs?
There are vegan, vegetarian, dairy-free and gluten-free options, with corn tortillas for gluten-free guests. Every dish has allergen information.
Do you cater for vegetarian guests?
Yes. We can include vegetarian and vegan fillings like black beans or spiced mushrooms.
Is food truck hire good for weddings?
A food truck suits a relaxed wedding well. We’ll check access and timings with your venue.

DIY catering keeps costs down, but the host spends the party serving. With a caterer, you get the food and drinks without the work.
Is food truck hire right for your event?
Several trucks mean several quotes and arrival times. One truck with tacos, burritos and nachos is one booking to manage. The cost per head can fall as numbers rise, since the set-up is much the same either way. Tell us your numbers for an accurate price.
