Food truck hire for Jericho events
About our food truck hire in Jericho
The hatch menu is agreed with you: tacos and burritos, with bowls, nachos or quesadillas if you like, finished with salsas and guacamole. We serve burritos, loaded nachos and quesadillas, which works well for wedding evening food and summer parties at home.
For a place the size of Jericho, food truck hire at your own home is often simplest: no venue to book, and guests order straight from the hatch. Tell us about the lane and the drive. You can book food, drinks or both, so the food and drinks can come from one caterer.

DIY taco night or a caterer?
DIY catering keeps costs down, but the host spends the party serving. With a caterer, you get the food and drinks without the work.
Some hosts like to do it themselves. The usual problems are cold tortillas, running out of a popular filling and a host stuck at the stove. If you’d rather enjoy the party, let us serve.
Planners, venues and businesses
If your event is in a public space, such as a park, check what permission you need first. We will provide the information the landowner or council asks for from us.
Many venues have rules for outside caterers: vehicle access, arrival times and documents. Send us your venue’s requirements and we will follow them.

Food truck hire in Jericho: local tips
Jericho is about 2 miles west of Oxford, in Oxfordshire. Give us the address of your event in Jericho, and we will plan the journey and set-up before the day. Jericho is one of 443 places in Oxfordshire where we can bring food truck hire.
If guests are travelling by rail, the nearest station is Oxford station, about 0.5 miles south. Guests leaving a church like St Barnabas Church could walk or drive to a nearby garden or hall where the truck is ready.
Wherever your event is in OX1 and OX2, we can bring the truck or trailer to your guests, from busy streets to quiet lanes. Local streets include Abbey Road, Combe Road and Pusey Lane; for an event at home on any of them, tell us where the truck or trailer can park. Main roads around Jericho include the A4144, so getting the truck or trailer to your event is simple. We also serve at events in Walton Manor (1 mile north), St John Street area (1 mile south-east), Park Town (1 mile north-east), Norham Manor (1 mile north-east) and Osney (1 mile south-west). We also cater in nearby towns such as Didcot (10 miles south), Bicester (11 miles north-east), Abingdon-on-Thames (6 miles south), Witney (10 miles west), Carterton (14 miles west) and Thame (13 miles east).

How it works
When we arrive, we position the truck or trailer and get the serving area ready. Service starts at the time we have agreed, planned around your event. By late September, it is dark in Jericho at around 7:10pm, so evening service from the truck may run past dusk. In late May, daylight lasts until about 9:00pm.
- Tell us the date, the location, rough numbers and any diets.
- We check availability and send a menu and a quote for hiring the truck or trailer.
- We confirm the parking spot, access, power and water with you or the venue.
- On the day we drive in, set up and serve to order from the hatch.
- When service ends, we pack up and leave the spot clear.
How to prepare
- Arrange somewhere covered for guests to eat
- Get the venue’s permission for us to park and serve
- Confirm numbers and diets before the day

FAQs for Jericho
We are having a ceremony at St Barnabas Church: can you cater afterwards?
Yes, at a garden, field or venue nearby where the truck or trailer can park. We’d serve at the reception venue rather than at the church itself. Send us the reception address.
Which station is closest to Jericho?
The closest is Oxford station, roughly 0.5 miles away.
Can you cater for vegetarians and vegans?
Of course. Vegetarian and vegan fillings, such as spiced mushrooms or black beans, can be part of the menu.
Do you cater for coeliacs?
Yes, gluten-free options are available, made with corn tortillas. Tell us about any coeliac guests before the event so we can talk through how their food is prepared. See are corn tortillas gluten-free?
Is private hire the same as trading at a festival?
A private hire is booked and quoted for you, so we do not serve passers-by. Organisers wanting us to trade at their event can see our festival page.
Can you cater for guests who avoid dairy?
Yes, we can. Tell us how many guests need dairy-free food, and we will include them in the plan.
Can we hire a bar too?
You can add our drinks bar, serving margaritas, Mexican beer, aguas frescas and soft drinks. We will check the licensing with you.
How much does food truck hire cost?
Each hire is quoted individually, depending on numbers, menu, location and timings. For a price, send us your details through our quote form.
Diets, allergies and planning
A little planning makes sure everyone can eat. Here’s how:
- Walk the access route and note narrow gaps
- Add a dietary question to the invitation
- Think about cover if the weather turns
- Tell us how many children are coming
Guests come to the hatch, order and wait a short moment for hot food.
Margaritas, Mexican beer and aguas frescas from our drinks bar can be added to the booking, with licensing checked with you.
Is food truck hire right for your event?
Cooking yourself saves on catering but costs you the day. Hire the truck and the cooking is ours so you can join in. A food truck can be a practical alternative to plated catering, as there’s no kitchen to hire. Contact us for a quote to compare.
