About our food truck hire in Mapledurham
When you hire our food truck, it serves your guests and nobody else. It is a private booking, not public trading, so we plan the menu and service times around you. On the menu are vegan tacos, tacos from the hatch and quesadillas, and it’s a good fit for christenings and family parties and summer parties at home.
In a rural place like Mapledurham, access is the main thing to plan for a hired truck: gate widths, soft ground and the route from the road all matter. We confirm power and water arrangements with you. Your quote sets out what’s included: the menu, the service time and any extras you choose.

Common questions in Mapledurham
Could you serve in Round Copse?
Only if the landowner, often the council, allows it. Check with them, and we’ll provide what they ask for from us.
Could you serve our guests after a service at Church of St Margaret and Bardolf Aisle?
Yes. The church itself isn’t 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 will check the access.
How big an event can you cater?
It depends on the menu and how long service runs, but around 50 to 400 guests is the usual range. Tell us your numbers and we will advise.
What do you need at the venue?
Level, firm ground or hardstanding for the truck or trailer, and a route in it can fit through, and the venue’s agreement. Power and water arrangements are confirmed with each booking.
Who clears up?
We pack down and tidy our own area after service. For anything beyond that, such as guests’ tables, ask us.
What food and drinks do you offer?
Every menu is agreed with you. Fillings could include chicken tinga, pork carnitas, al pastor-style pork and vegan options like black beans. Our sample menu has more ideas.
Do you need power and water?
Tell us what the site has, such as a supply from the venue near where we will park, and we’ll confirm the arrangements with your quote.
How much is a food truck for an event?
The price depends on numbers, menu, service time and where your event is. Contact us for a quote.

What happens on the day
A typical event goes like this: we park up and get ready, service opens at the agreed time, and your guests are served fresh until service ends. A Christmas party in Mapledurham with a hired food truck will be in the dark from about 3:55pm, so ask the venue about outdoor lighting where we will park. In late June, it stays light until about 9:25pm.
- Share your plans for the event.
- We suggest fillings and dishes for every diet.
- We check power, water and timings with the venue.
- The truck serves at the agreed times.
- Once service ends, we tidy up and go.
How to prepare
- Get the venue’s permission for us to park and serve
- Pick a flat, firm spot for us to park
- Name one person we can ask on the day
How to get a price
A detailed enquiry gets a more accurate quote: the venue, the timings, food or drinks or both, and the access. To send your details, tell us about it on our contact page.

Planning for every diet
Most events have a mix of diets. To cater well for them:
- Email us any allergies
- Count children separately
- Have shelter ready in case of rain
- Ask guests with severe allergies to speak to us beforehand
When service ends, we pack away, leaving our spot tidy.
A taco-bar station can sit next to the truck for a wedding breakfast or lunch.

Food truck hire or something else?
Booking several street food trucks means juggling several suppliers. One truck with tacos, burritos and nachos is one booking to manage. Catering from a truck or trailer can be a practical alternative to a sit-down meal, as there is no kitchen to hire. Contact us for a quote to compare.
