Food truck hire for your event in New Copse
Food truck hire means our food truck or trailer is booked for your guests only. It’s a private booking, not public trading, so we plan the menu and service times around you. We serve vegan tacos, burritos and fresh salsas and guacamole, and it suits family reunions and retirement parties.
In a rural place like New Copse, 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. We turn up ready to serve, and tidy our own area afterwards.
Prices and what affects them
These are the factors that matter most:
- Whether you need disposables
- The menu you choose
- The number of people
- Staff for serving and the bar
There’s no one-size-fits-all price for food truck hire. A short lunch service for a team is a different job from a full wedding day. Your quote sets it all out.
What we need to know
To check availability and price, we need:
- Expected numbers
- Any dietary needs and allergies
- Gate widths, slopes and the ground
- Whether you’d like food, drinks or both
We quote for each event separately, so the price fits what you actually want. To ask for one, drop us a line using the enquiry form.
Dietary needs and planning tips
We cater for gluten-free, dairy-free, vegetarian and vegan guests. To get it right:
- Ask guests about dietary needs when they reply
- Confirm allergies with us in writing
- Give us separate numbers for children
- Ask guests with severe allergies to speak to us beforehand
We keep allergen information for every dish at the hatch.
A taco-bar station can sit next to the truck.
How it works
We get there well before you want to serve, then set up and prepare everything. Guests come up to order when service opens. Planning a private evening event in New Copse? Sunset is around 8:55pm in late May and 9:25pm in late June. After that, festoon lights or lamps near the truck help guests order.
- Tell us what the event is and who’s coming.
- We suggest fillings and dishes for every diet.
- Power, water and timings are agreed with you or the venue.
- Service runs at the times you choose.
- When everyone is fed, we clear our area.
Preparing for the day
- Tell us what power and water the site has
- Confirm the venue allows outside caterers
- Name one person we can ask on the day

Most quotes start with a few simple details: the date, where the event is, how many guests and any dietary needs. To send them, send us your details through our quote form.

Should I do it myself?
DIY catering keeps costs down, but the host spends the party serving. Booking a caterer means you can relax with everyone else.
A DIY taco night works well for a small group. For larger numbers, mixed diets or a wedding, a caterer takes the pressure off, and handles allergen information for you.

Is food truck hire right for your event?
A private hire is not the same as a festival stall. At a festival we trade to the public; a private hire means your guests, your menu and your timings. What’s on the menu makes a difference to the total, so share your ideas with us. We will suggest options to suit your budget.
Why us?
- A menu built around your guests
- Served fresh from our truck or trailer

A truck or trailer works for big and small events alike. Common bookings include:
- Summer parties at home
- Staff summer parties
- End-of-year celebrations
- Engagements and anniversaries
When the service is at a church such as Church of St Andrew, the truck would serve at the reception venue rather than at the church.
