Food truck hire for your event in Howt Green
A hired food truck works for weddings, birthdays and staff days. Popular choices include vegan tacos, quesadillas and burrito bowls, and it’s a good fit for staff summer parties and milestone birthdays.
In a small place like Howt Green, a hired food truck might park in a garden, paddock or field. Lanes, gates and long drives are fine if we know about them. Firm ground matters, especially after rain. Timings are planned around your event, whether that is speeches, a lunch break or a festival schedule.
DIY taco night versus a caterer
If you do it yourself, work out quantities first: see how many tacos per person. Keep tortillas warm in a covered basket, and label dishes for guests with allergies.
Running your own drinks table is one option, but someone still has to mix, pour and keep an eye on it all evening. See our margarita bar guide.

What we need at the venue
Plenty of outdoor spaces and venues work for us, but there are a few things to check:
- Space in front of the hatch for guests to queue
- The landowner’s go-ahead for the truck or trailer
- Seating or standing room near the truck
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and the access, and we’ll advise.
Planning for every diet
Nearly every event has some special diets. To cater well for them:
- Check early that your venue allows food trucks
- Have shelter ready in case of rain
- Tell us when guests should eat
- Ask about parking rules if we will be on a road
We drive in at the agreed time and park in the planned spot. It helps if someone can meet us on arrival.
Margaritas, Mexican beer and aguas frescas from our drinks bar can be added to the booking.
Prices and what affects them
We quote for your event, which reflects:
- The length of service
- How many staff you need
- How many guests we’re serving
- The menu you choose
Pricing depends on the event. A simple party menu and a full wedding day are very different jobs. Contact us for a quote.

- The date and time of the event
- A picture of the space, if it’s a garden or field
- Your menu ideas
- Where the event is
Each quote is tailored to your event. Give us your date and numbers, and we will confirm whether we’re available that day.
