How our food truck hire works in Idbury
Our drinks bar can be hired with the truck for margaritas, Mexican beer and aguas frescas. A build-your-own taco bar can sit beside the truck too. We serve burritos, burrito bowls and tacos from the hatch, and it suits private outdoor parties and family celebrations.
For a rural spot like Idbury, food truck hire needs a little planning: the gate, the ground and the distance from the lane. We confirm power and water arrangements with you. We turn up ready to serve, and tidy our own area afterwards.

Common questions in Idbury
Do you hire out your food truck for parties in places like Idbury?
Yes, depending on the date. For a private or work event in a village or hamlet, the main thing is access: tell us about the lane, the gate and the ground.
Could you serve our guests after a service at Church of St Nicholas?
Yes. The church itself isn’t 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.
Is the food suitable for children?
Yes, children are welcome. Tell us how many and roughly how old, and we will plan the menu with them in mind.
Do you cater for coeliacs?
Yes, we offer gluten-free options, using corn tortillas. Let us know about coeliac guests in advance so we can explain how we prepare their food. See are corn tortillas gluten-free?
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 give it for every dish (Food Standards Agency guidance). For severe allergies, please talk to us first.
Do you cater for dietary needs?
Diets are planned with you in advance, but we cannot promise an allergen-free kitchen. Anyone with a severe allergy should contact us before the event.
How much space do you need?
A level, firm spot for the truck or trailer, with access wide and high enough to drive in, and the venue’s agreement. We confirm power and water with you for each booking.
Can guests build their own tacos?
Yes. We can set up a build-your-own taco bar, served from the truck or a serving table, with fillings, salsas and toppings to choose from. Read our taco bar guide.

What’s on the menu
Loaded nachos
A tray of nachos works as a starter or a late snack; dairy-free versions can be planned.
Burrito bowls
A bowl is a good choice for guests avoiding tortillas, and they’re easy to adapt.
How it works
Once service is over, we pack down and clear our own area. Set-up and pack-down times are agreed with you and the venue. Late-September events in Idbury see sunset at about 7:10pm, so a later service will need some lighting. A late-May event keeps its light until roughly 9:00pm.
- Send us your date, the address, a headcount and dietary needs.
- You get a hatch menu and a quote for the hire.
- Before the day, we agree the spot, the way in, power and water.
- We arrive, open the hatch and cook to order for your guests.
- When service ends, we pack up and leave the spot clear.
Preparing for the day
- Arrange somewhere covered for guests to eat
- Ask the venue about power and water
- Tell us when you want service to start

Dietary needs and planning tips
We take diets and allergies seriously. Help us by following these steps:
- Have shelter ready in case of rain
- Tell us when guests should eat
- Confirm allergies with us in writing
- Confirm the venue accepts outside caterers and vehicles
We arrive in the agreed window and park where we have arranged. It helps if someone can meet us on arrival.
A taco-bar station can sit next to the truck.
How it compares
Plated catering needs a kitchen tent, waiting staff and set courses. Our food truck or trailer brings the kitchen and serves from one hatch. Cost depends on guest numbers, the menu and the length of service, plus any add-ons and the location. Every event gets its own quote.
Why book with us
- A menu built around your guests
- Service planned around your numbers

What affects the price in Idbury
Each event is quoted on its own, and the price depends on a few things:
- Food, drinks or both
- What the venue already provides
- The number of people
- Distance and access to the venue
A food truck can be a practical alternative to plated catering, as there is no kitchen to hire. Contact us for a quote to compare.
