Food truck hire for your event in Labour-in-vain
We cook inside our food truck or trailer, so there is no need for kitchen space at the venue. What we do need is level ground, a way in and the venue’s agreement. We serve burrito bowls, fresh salsas and guacamole and quesadillas, and it suits wedding receptions and retirement parties.
For a rural spot like Labour-in-vain, food truck hire needs a little planning: the gate, the ground and the distance from the lane. Power and water may be limited, so we confirm the arrangements before the day. Your quote sets out what’s included: menu, timings and any add-ons.
Step by step
The truck or trailer needs a level, firm spot with access to drive in, with power and water arrangements agreed beforehand. A photo of the space helps. Planning a private evening event in Labour-in-vain? Sunset is around 8:50pm in late May and 9:20pm in late June. After that, festoon lights or lamps near the truck help guests order.
- Ask us whether your date is available.
- You get a menu for the hatch and a quote.
- We confirm the parking spot and the route in.
- On the day, guests order at the hatch and we cook to order.
- After service, we close up and leave the spot clear.
Getting ready for the day

DIY taco night or a caterer?
DIY catering keeps costs down, but the host spends the party serving. Booking a caterer means you can relax with everyone else.
Some hosts like to do it themselves. Common snags are cold tortillas, uneven quantities and the host missing the party. If you’d rather enjoy the party, let us serve.
Catering for every guest
Most events have a mix of diets. To cater well for them:
- Think about cover if the weather turns
- Walk the access route and note narrow gaps
- Let us know who is coeliac
- Count children separately
We drive in at the agreed time and park in the planned spot. Someone on site to meet us makes it smoother.
Ask about a second service later in the evening, quoted with the main booking.
What we need at the venue
The route in matters as much as the spot itself. We need:
- Any parking or loading permission needed for street locations
- Some space between the truck and nearby homes
- Enough width and height on the route in
If you’re unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think before you book.

Yes, though some venues in protected landscapes have extra rules; ask your venue. Tell us about narrow lanes and soft ground.
Can you cater for children?
Yes, children are welcome. Tell us how many and roughly how old, and we will plan the menu with them in mind.
How does private food truck hire work?
We bring our truck or trailer to your venue, park in the agreed spot and serve your guests from the hatch. It’s a private booking for your guests only.

That depends on the menu and the service time, but around 50 to 400 guests is the usual range. Tell us your numbers and we will advise.

We can. 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.
Are plates and napkins included?
That’s confirmed with each quote. Tell us whether your venue has crockery or you’d prefer disposables and we will talk it through.
How we price food truck hire
We quote for your event, which reflects:
- The menu you choose
- The length of service
- Travel, parking and access
- How many guests we are serving
Your choice of food and drinks affects the price, so tell us what you have in mind. We will suggest options to suit your budget.
What we need to know
To speed things up, tell us:

- Diets and allergies you know about
- The date and rough timings
Every quote is put together for your event. Give us your date and numbers, and we’ll confirm whether we’re available that day.
Working with your venue
