Food truck hire in Iden
Your questions about food truck hire in Iden
Can you cater a reception after a service at The Parish Church of All Saints?
Yes, at a nearby garden, marquee or hall with access for the truck or trailer. We’d serve at the reception venue rather than at the church itself. Tell us where the reception will be.
How far is Iden from central London?
It’s about 51 miles from central London, and inside the area we cover.
Do you provide drinks?
Yes, we do. The drinks bar can be added to food or booked on its own. We’ll check the licensing for alcohol with you.
Who clears up?
Our area is packed away and left tidy. Tell us the venue’s rules on waste and clearing up and we’ll confirm the arrangements with your quote.
Can you cater for vegetarians and vegans?
Yes. We can include vegetarian and vegan fillings like black beans or spiced mushrooms.
Do you give allergen information?
Our menus are planned with allergies in mind, nut allergies included, with allergen information for every dish. We keep options separate, but we can’t promise anything is completely allergen-free. Guests with severe allergies should talk to us before the event.
What does it cost to hire the truck?
We quote for every hire, depending on numbers, menu, location and timings. For a price, send us your details through our quote form.
Can we have a build-your-own taco bar?
Yes, a taco bar is one of the ways we serve. Tell us about your space and numbers and we’ll recommend how to serve.
Food truck hire in Iden, served fresh
The truck or trailer is a working kitchen on wheels, so there’s no need for kitchen space at the venue. We need a level spot, safe access and the venue’s permission. For end-of-year celebrations and anniversary celebrations, we will put together a menu of quesadillas, vegan tacos and tacos from the hatch.
Near Iden, 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. Access, space and power are agreed with you beforehand, so there are no surprises on arrival.

What we need at the venue

- A way in wide and high enough for the vehicle
- A flat parking spot on firm ground or hardstanding
- Distance from houses and windows

How it compares
Hog roasts are popular with meat eaters, but a Mexican menu covers vegan, gluten-free and dairy-free guests more easily. Pricing depends on the event. A short lunch service for a team is a different job from a full wedding day. Your quote sets it all out.
