Food truck hire near Monk Sherborne
Questions from Monk Sherborne
Do you cater in villages like Monk Sherborne?
Yes, small places are no problem, given access. Tell us about lanes, gates, ground and parking.
How far is Monk Sherborne from London?
It’s about 46 miles from central London, and inside the area we cover.
Do you do parties at home?
It depends on access. If the truck or trailer can’t reach the garden, a drive or a spot nearby may work, with permission. Send us a picture and we will talk it through.
Is there a minimum number of guests?
Our truck and trailer service typically suits events of around 50 to 400 guests. Festivals can be bigger, and smaller parties are quoted case by case. Send us your numbers and we will advise.
How is private hire different from festival trading?
When you hire us, the booking is yours, and we don’t sell to the public. Event organisers should see street food for festivals.
Do you provide drinks?
Yes, we run 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 talk licensing through with you.
Can we have a build-your-own taco bar?
Yes, a taco bar is one of our options. Let us know your numbers and space and we will recommend how to serve.
Do you provide plates and napkins?
Please ask us. Let us know what you already have, and we’ll set out plates, napkins and cutlery in your quote.
Food truck hire in Monk Sherborne, from our food truck or trailer
Fillings might include carnitas, al pastor-style pork or chicken tinga, with vegan choices like black bean and sweet potato. There are options for vegan, vegetarian, dairy-free and gluten-free guests. It works well for leaving parties and staff summer parties, serving burritos, tacos from the hatch and loaded nachos.
In a small place like Monk Sherborne, 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. You can book food, drinks or both, so the food and drinks can come from one caterer.
DIY taco night or a caterer?
Plenty of people try a DIY taco night at home. The usual problems are cold tortillas, running out of a popular filling and a host stuck at the stove. If you’d rather be with your guests, we will do the serving.
Doing it yourself saves money, but the host ends up in the kitchen. Booking a caterer means you can relax with everyone else.
Planning the serving area
The route in matters as much as the spot itself. We look for:
- Level, solid ground for the vehicle
- Enough width and height on the route in
- Agreement from the venue to bring in a catering vehicle
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and the access, and we’ll advise before you book.
Food truck hire or something else?

What you get with us
- Menus chosen with you
- Book food, drinks or both
- A plan agreed before the day

- Access for the truck or trailer, including gates and ground
- Expected numbers

Step by step
Here’s how the day normally runs: we park up and get ready, service opens at the agreed time, and we serve your guests fresh until service ends. A hired food truck at a summer event in Monk Sherborne can serve in daylight until about 9:25pm at midsummer, and by late September sunset is about 7:10pm. In December it’s dark by about 4:00pm, so the queue by the hatch needs lighting.
- 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.
- On the day we drive in, set up and serve to order from the hatch.
- When service ends, we pack up and leave the spot clear.
Getting ready for the day
- Tell us about narrow gates or low branches
- Give us a contact for the day
- Find out what power and water are available
