Food truck hire for Inkpen events
How our food truck hire works in Inkpen
We bring the truck or trailer to private and work events in and around Inkpen, from gardens to venue grounds and business parks. On the menu are quesadillas, tacos from the hatch and vegan tacos, which works well for end-of-year parties and company away days.
Somewhere as small as Inkpen, food truck hire can mean a garden, a field or a barn. Tell us about narrow lanes, gates and long drives. Firm ground matters, especially after rain. Every guest is catered for, vegan, vegetarian, dairy-free and gluten-free included, with allergen information for everything we serve.

Catering for every guest
Most events have a mix of diets. To cater well for them:
- Think about cover if the weather turns
- Add a dietary question to the invitation
- Count children separately
- Share your running order
When service ends, we pack away, leaving our spot tidy.
Ask about a second service later in the evening.

Working with your venue

Step by step
Here’s how the day generally runs: we park up and get ready, we open the hatch when you’re ready, and we serve your guests fresh for the agreed time. Late-September events in Inkpen see sunset at about 7:10pm, so a later service will need some lighting. In late May, daylight lasts until about 8:55pm.
- Share your plans for the event.
- We suggest fillings and dishes for every diet.
- Power, water and timings are agreed with you or the venue.
- The truck serves at the agreed times.
- Once service ends, we tidy up and go.
How to prepare

What affects the price in Inkpen
Two events with the same number of guests can cost different amounts, depending on:
- Food, drinks or both
- The number of people
- Whether you need disposables
- Travel, parking and access
A food truck can be a practical alternative to plated catering, because it needs no venue kitchen. Ask us for a quote.
Getting an accurate quote
Good planning starts with a few facts. Please include:
- Where the event is
- Gate widths, slopes and the ground
- Whether you’d like food, drinks or both
- A photo of the space, if it is a garden or field
Every quote is put together for your event. Give us your date and numbers, and we’ll check availability at the same time.
Inkpen: your questions answered
Do you cater in villages like Inkpen?
Yes. Villages and hamlets are part of our area, and the main thing is access: tell us about the lane, the gate and the ground.
Is Inkpen close to London?
Roughly 60 miles from the centre of London, and well within our area.
What food and drinks do you offer?
We agree a sample menu with each client. Fillings could include chicken tinga, pork carnitas, al pastor-style pork and vegan options like black beans. See our menu for ideas.
Do you take everything away?
We pack down and tidy our own area after service. For anything beyond that, such as guests’ tables, ask us.
When do you arrive?
We get there well before service to set up. The length of service is agreed when you book.
Do you do food truck hire for weddings?
The truck or trailer can serve the wedding breakfast, evening food or both. We fit service around your running order. See our food truck wedding guide.
How is private hire different from festival trading?
At a private hire, we serve your guests and nobody else, on a menu and timings agreed with you. Festival and market trading is open to the public; see our street food catering page.
How much space do you need?
A level, firm spot for the truck or trailer, with access wide and high enough to drive in, plus the venue’s permission. Power and water arrangements are confirmed with each booking.

DIY taco night versus a caterer
A DIY taco night works well for a small group. For larger numbers, mixed diets or a wedding, a caterer takes the pressure off, with allergen information for every dish.
Plenty of people try a DIY taco night at home. Common snags are cold tortillas, uneven quantities and the host missing the party. If you’d rather be with your guests, we’ll do the serving.
