How it compares
A private hire is not the same as a festival stall. At a festival we trade to the public; when you hire us, we serve only your guests, on your timings. What’s on the menu makes a difference to the total, so tell us what you have in mind. Tell us your budget and we will suggest a menu.
Why us?
- A menu built around your guests
- Allergen-aware menus
- Book food, drinks or both
- Everything served fresh from the hatch
How we price food truck hire
Each event is quoted on its own, and the price depends on a few things:
- Distance and access to the venue
- Plates, napkins and cutlery
- The length of service
- Staff for serving and the bar
Larger events can cost less per head, since the set-up is much the same either way. Tell us your numbers for an accurate price.
What we need to know
A few details help us give you an accurate quote. Here’s what’s useful:
- Diets and allergies you know about
- Where the event is
- Roughly how many adults and children
- How we drive in and where we can park
Still deciding on the menu? That’s fine: tell us about the occasion and the guests, and we will make suggestions. To start, drop us a line using the enquiry form.

Your questions about food truck hire in New Pound
Which station is closest to New Pound?
The closest is Wateringbury station, roughly 2.8 miles away.
Do you cater in villages like New Pound?
Yes, we cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Let us know about access and parking for the truck or trailer.
What if the weather’s bad?
We can serve from the hatch in the rain. It is worth planning a covered area for guests, and let us know if the ground gets soft after heavy rain.
Do you sell to the public at private events?
A private hire is booked and quoted for you, and we do not sell to the public. Event organisers should see street food for festivals.
Can you plan for allergies?
We plan allergen-aware menus, including for nut allergies, and give allergen information for every dish. We keep options separate, but we cannot promise anything is completely allergen-free. Guests with severe allergies should talk to us before the event.
Do you do parties at home?
It depends on access. A drive or a spot nearby may work, with permission, if the garden itself is out of reach. Tell us about the space and we’ll advise.
How many guests can you serve?
Our truck and trailer service usually 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’ll advise.
Do you provide plates and napkins?
Please ask us. Let us know what you already have, and we will confirm what’s included with your quote.
Space, access and the venue
We’ll agree the spot with you before the day. It needs to meet a few simple requirements:
- A way in wide and high enough for the vehicle
- Any parking or loading permission needed for street locations
- Power and water, confirmed with each booking
