Food truck hire for your event in Mattingley
We serve when you want us to: a set lunch hour, an evening slot or a few hours through a party. Let us know your running order and we will plan around it. It suits leaving dos and retirements and end-of-year parties, serving fresh salsas and guacamole, burritos and vegan tacos.
In a small place like Mattingley, a hired food truck might park in a garden, paddock or field. Lanes, gates and long drives are fine if we know about them. Soft ground after rain is worth mentioning too. Your quote sets out what’s included: the menu, the service time and any extras you choose.
DIY taco night or a caterer?
You can host your own taco night for a crowd, but it takes planning. There are fillings to slow-cook, tortillas to keep warm and salsas to make. Read our guide to taco bars.
Running your own drinks table is one option, but someone still has to mix, pour and keep an eye on it all evening. See our margarita bar guide.

FAQs for Mattingley
Can you cater a reception after a service at Mattingley Church?
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.
Which station is closest to Mattingley?
Guests can use Hook station, about 2.5 miles south of Mattingley.
Is the food suitable for children?
Yes. Mild dishes, quesadillas and nachos can be part of the menu. Tell us how many children are coming.
When do you arrive?
That depends on your event and menu. Timings are agreed in advance so everything fits your schedule.
Do you provide allergen information for each dish?
Our menus are planned with allergies in mind, nut allergies included, with allergen information for every dish. We plan carefully and keep options separate, though we can’t promise a dish is allergen-free. If a guest has a severe allergy, please talk to us before the event.
When should we book?
As early as you can, especially for summer weekends. Ask about your date even if it’s soon.
How much does food truck hire cost?
Each hire is quoted individually, depending on numbers, menu, location and timings. For a price, fill in our quote form.
Do you bring plates and cutlery?
That’s confirmed with each quote. Tell us whether your venue has crockery or you’d prefer disposables and we’ll talk it through.
Diets, allergies and planning
Good planning keeps every guest safe and happy. Try these:
- Check parking and loading rules for street locations
- Ask the venue about catering vehicles before you book
- Guests with serious allergies should contact us first
- Tell us how many children are coming
Allergen information is available at the hatch for every dish, so guests can ask before ordering.
A taco-bar station can sit next to the truck for a wedding breakfast or lunch.
Planners, venues and businesses
Events in public spaces, like parks, typically need permission. We can send what the landowner or council needs from us.
Many venues have rules for outside caterers: where vehicles can park, access times and the paperwork they need. Send us your venue’s requirements and we will follow them.

What affects the price in Mattingley
We quote for your event, and the price is based on:
- The length of service
- How many staff you need
- How many guests we are serving
- Your choice of food and drinks
Pricing depends on the event. A short lunch service for a team is a different job from a full wedding day. Contact us for a quote.
What to tell us
Good planning starts with a few facts. Try to include:
- How we drive in and where we can park
- Whether you’d like food, drinks or both
- Vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free, dairy-free and allergy numbers
- Where the event is
Each quote is tailored to your event. Give us your date and numbers, and we’ll confirm whether we are available that day.
What we need at the venue
The route in matters as much as the spot itself. We look for:
- A parking suspension, where a street spot is needed
- The landowner’s go-ahead for the truck or trailer
- Somewhere for guests to sit or stand and eat
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and the access, and we’ll advise.
