About our food truck hire in Marlpit Hill
You could pick fillings such as chicken tinga, carnitas or beef birria, alongside a vegan option such as spiced mushroom. There are options for vegan, vegetarian, dairy-free and gluten-free guests. We serve vegan tacos, loaded nachos and burrito bowls, and it is a good fit for back-garden parties and wedding evening food.
For a rural spot like Marlpit Hill, food truck hire needs a little planning: gate widths, soft ground and the route from the road all matter. Power and water may be limited, so we confirm the arrangements before the day. You will know what’s included before you book: the menu, the service time and any extras you choose.
DIY taco night versus a caterer
Not sure whether to do it yourself or book a caterer? Consider your numbers, your guests’ diets and your own time. Contact us for a quote to compare.
A DIY taco night works well for a small group. For larger numbers, mixed diets or a wedding, a caterer takes the pressure off, with allergen information for every dish.

Quesadillas
Toasted tortillas with melted cheese and a filling, cut into wedges.

FAQs for Marlpit Hill
Do you hire out your food truck for parties in places like Marlpit Hill?
Yes, subject to the date and access for the truck or trailer. Let us know about access and where we’d park.
Could you serve our guests after a service at Church of St Peter and St Paul?
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.
How long are you on site?
That depends on your event and menu. Timings are agreed in advance so everything fits your schedule.
How is private hire different from festival trading?
When you hire us, the booking is yours, and we don’t sell to the public. Organisers wanting us to trade at their event can see our festival page.
Do you provide allergen information for each dish?
Yes, and it helps to hear about allergies when you book. UK law requires caterers to provide 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.
What does hiring your food truck involve?
Our truck or trailer comes to your venue and serves your guests from the hatch. It is a private booking for your guests only.
Can you do gluten-free food?
Yes, gluten-free options are available, using corn tortillas. Tell us about any coeliac guests before the event so we can talk through how their food is prepared. See are corn tortillas gluten-free?
What does food truck hire cost?
Every event is quoted individually, so the price fits what you want. Give us your date, numbers and menu ideas and we will reply with a quote.
