Food truck hire near Ladwell
Planning for every diet
Most events have a mix of diets. To cater well for them:
- Let us know who is coeliac
- Plan a covered area for guests to eat
- Send allergy details in writing
- Check parking and loading rules for street locations
Wet weather does not close the hatch, but guests will want a covered area to eat.
Tell us what serveware you need and we’ll confirm the options in your quote.
How our food truck hire works in Ladwell
The truck or trailer is a working kitchen on wheels, so your venue does not need a kitchen. We need a level spot, safe access and the venue’s permission, with power and water confirmed per booking. For client hospitality and birthday parties, we can serve burrito bowls, fresh salsas and guacamole and quesadillas and more.
For a rural spot like Ladwell, 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. Food and drinks can be booked together or separately, so the food and drinks can come from one caterer.
What food truck hire costs
Here’s what makes the biggest difference to the price:
- Food, drinks or both
- The length of service
- What the venue already provides
- Travel, parking and access
Larger events can cost less per head, because the set-up is similar for different sizes of event. Give us your numbers and we will quote.
Getting an accurate quote
You do not need every detail fixed to get a quote, but it helps to know:
- A picture of the space, if it’s a garden or field
- Whether you’d like food, drinks or both
- Vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free, dairy-free and allergy numbers
- Gate widths, slopes and the ground

Common questions in Ladwell
Do you cater in villages like Ladwell?
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.
Could you serve our guests after a service at 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. Send us the reception address.
Do you bring plates and cutlery?
We confirm that with your quote. Tell us whether your venue has crockery or you’d prefer disposables and we’ll talk it through.
Where do you cater?
We cater across London and the South East, Hampshire included. See all areas.
What happens if it rains?
We can keep serving from the truck or trailer in the rain, but guests need somewhere covered to eat and drink, such as a marquee, gazebo or nearby building.
What do you serve?
We agree a sample menu with each client. Fillings could include slow-cooked pork carnitas, chicken tinga, beef birria and vegan options such as spiced mushrooms or black beans. Our sample menu has more ideas.
Can you plan for allergies?
Yes. Tell us about allergies when you book. UK law requires caterers to provide information on 14 allergens, and we do that for every dish (Food Standards Agency guidance). For severe allergies, please talk to us first.
Can you cater for special diets?
There are vegan, vegetarian, dairy-free and gluten-free options, and corn tortillas suit gluten-free guests. Allergen information is available for every dish.

What happens on the day
The truck or trailer needs a level, firm spot with access to drive in, and we agree power and water arrangements before the day. A picture of the space helps. Late-September events in Ladwell see sunset at about 7:10pm, so evening service from the truck may run past dusk. In late May, daylight lasts until about 8:55pm.

- Before the day, we agree the spot, the way in, power and water.
- Your guests order at the hatch and we serve hot food at the agreed times.
