About our food truck hire in Longfield
Truck and trailer service generally suits around 50 to 400 guests. Smaller parties are quoted case by case. On the menu are tacos from the hatch, burritos and loaded nachos, and it’s a good fit for retirement parties and winter staff parties.
In a small place like Longfield, a hired food truck might park in a garden, paddock or field. Tell us about narrow lanes, gates and long drives. Soft ground after rain is worth mentioning too. Food and drinks can be booked together or separately, so the food and drinks can come from one caterer.
Common questions in Longfield
Could you serve in Rectory Meadow?
Only if the landowner, often the council, allows it. Ask them first, and we will help with the information they need from us.
Could you serve our guests after a service at Church of Saint Mary Magdalene?
Yes. The church itself is not where we’d set up, but a hall, field or garden close by with room for the truck or trailer can work well. Let us know the reception address and we’ll check the access.
What happens if it rains?
We can serve from the hatch in the rain. It is worth planning a covered area for guests, and tell us if heavy rain could make the ground soft.
How long do you serve for?
We get there well before service to set up. Serving times are agreed with you in advance.
Can you plan for allergies?
Yes, and it helps to hear about allergies when you book. Under UK rules, caterers must give information on 14 allergens, and we give it for every dish (Food Standards Agency guidance). Anyone with a severe allergy should speak to us before the event.
Do you do food truck hire for weddings?
Wedding food from a truck feels relaxed and sociable. We agree access and timings with the venue.
What access do you need?
Access and level ground matter most: a firm spot for the truck or trailer, room for a queue and, for a taco bar, space for a serving table. If in doubt, send us a photo of the space and the way in.
Can you cater for vegetarians and vegans?
Yes, and we plan them in from the start. Tell us your numbers when you ask for a quote, and we will keep their options separate.

Catering for every guest
Most events have a mix of diets. To plan for them:
- Have shelter ready in case of rain
- Check gate widths and any height limits

If your timings move, let us know, and we will work around it.

What food truck hire costs
The same guest numbers can mean different prices, depending on:
- How long we’re needed on site
- What’s on the menu
- How many guests we are serving
- Adding food to drinks, or drinks to food
A food truck can be a practical alternative to plated catering, as there’s no kitchen to hire. Ask us for a quote.
Getting an accurate quote
The more we know about your event, the better we can plan. Try to include:
- Access for the truck or trailer, including gates and ground
- A picture of where we’d park
- The date and rough timings
- Whether you’d like food, drinks or both
It is easy to get a price: share your date, venue, numbers and diets. We will send you a clear quote.
Organising for someone else?
If you run the same event each year, tell us your dates early, so we can plan ahead.
For larger events, we plan serving points around your timings, so everyone is served promptly. Tell us how long you have for food and drinks.
