Food truck hire in Locksgreen
Food truck hire or something else?
Plated catering needs a kitchen tent, waiting staff and set courses. A food truck arrives as a kitchen and serves from the hatch, needing level ground, access and the venue’s permission. When you compare quotes, check what each one includes: service time, staff, plates and napkins, travel and VAT. Our quote sets out what’s included.

Food truck hire for your event in Locksgreen
The truck or trailer is a working kitchen on wheels, so your venue doesn’t need a kitchen. What we do need is level ground, a way in and the venue’s agreement. Popular choices include tacos from the hatch, vegan tacos and burrito bowls, which works well for retirement parties and end-of-year parties.
In a hamlet or village like Locksgreen, our food truck or trailer can serve a private party or a team day in a field or garden. Guests order at the hatch, so plan a sheltered spot for the queue in case of rain. We prepare everything fresh for your event and serve it straight from our food truck or trailer, so guests get it at its best.

Service is quick and friendly: guests are served at the hatch or a serving station, so even a long queue moves. Afterwards we clear our area.

- First come the basics: date, location, numbers and diets.
- We check availability and send a menu and a quote for hiring the truck or trailer.
- Before the day, we agree the spot, the way in, power and water.

Do you cater at coastal events near Locksgreen?
We can, given firm ground and the landowner’s permission. Beaches and promenades normally need the council’s agreement, so check that first.

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.
How much does food truck hire cost?
We quote for every hire, depending on numbers, menu, location and timings. Contact us for a quote.
Where do you cater?
We cater across London and the South East, including the Isle of Wight. Find your area.
Do you provide drinks?
Yes, we offer a Mexican drinks bar, serving margaritas, Mexican beer, aguas frescas such as hibiscus and horchata, and soft drinks. Your venue or event may need the right licence for alcohol, so we’ll check the licensing with you.

What space does the truck need?
A firm, level spot, a way in that fits the vehicle, and the venue’s agreement. Power and water are confirmed with each booking.
What we need at the venue
No two venues are the same, so we will ask about yours when you contact us. Generally, we look for:
- A flat parking spot on firm ground or hardstanding
- Gate widths, overhead branches and soft ground checked in advance
- Seating or standing room near the truck
For somewhere as remote as Locksgreen, early notice helps us plan the trip, the route in and power.
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and the access, and we’ll advise before you book.

DIY taco night or a caterer?
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.
For a small group, a taco night at home can work well. For larger numbers, mixed diets or a wedding, a caterer takes the pressure off, and handles allergen information for you.
Catering for every guest
A little planning makes sure everyone can eat. Try these:
- Tell us how many children are coming
- Share your running order
- Flag any coeliac guests
- Ask guests about dietary needs when they reply
Allergen information is available at the hatch for every dish, so guests can ask before ordering.
Add a build-your-own taco bar beside the truck.
