About our food truck hire in Ockley
As a guide, hiring the truck or trailer suits around 50 to 400 guests. Smaller parties are quoted case by case. It works well for leaving parties and garden parties, serving fresh salsas and guacamole, vegan tacos and burritos.
In a hamlet or village like Ockley, our food truck or trailer can serve a private party or a team day in a field or garden. Guests queue at the hatch, so have some cover ready in case of rain. We plan the timings around your day, whether that’s speeches, a lunch break or a festival schedule.
Popular choices
Quesadillas
Quesadillas are a simple choice for children.
Loaded nachos
Nachos are good for sharing between friends; dairy-free versions can be planned.

Who books food truck hire in Ockley?
It feels informal but well looked after, because we cook, serve and clear away.
A truck or trailer works for big and small events alike. Typical bookings include:
- Company away days
- Back-garden parties
- Parties in venue grounds
- Engagements and anniversaries
When the service is at a church such as St John's Church, the truck would serve at the reception venue rather than at the church.

The process
A typical event goes like this: we arrive and set up, service opens at the agreed time, and your guests are served fresh for the agreed time. December events in Ockley lose the light at about 3:55pm, so ask the venue about outdoor lighting where we will park. At midsummer, sunset is around 9:20pm.
- Share your plans for the event.
- We suggest fillings and dishes for every diet.
- We check power, water and timings with the venue.
- Service runs at the times you choose.
- Once service ends, we tidy up and go.
How to prepare
- Ask the venue about power and water
- Choose a level, firm spot for the truck or trailer
- Get the venue’s permission for us to park and serve

What affects the price in Ockley
Your quote will be clear. The main things that affect it are:
- Whether you need disposables
- Your choice of food and drinks
- Travel, parking and access
- The length of service
A food truck can be a practical alternative to plated catering, as there is no kitchen to hire. Ask us for a quote.
What to tell us
Here’s what makes a quick, accurate quote possible:
- The date and time of the event
- The venue or postcode
- Any dietary needs and allergies
- Expected numbers
Getting a quote is simple: share your date, venue, numbers and diets. We’ll come back with a clear quote.
Can I do a taco night myself?
DIY catering keeps costs down, but the host spends the party serving. With a caterer, you get the food and drinks without the work.
You can set up your own drinks table, but someone has to serve all evening. See our margarita bar guide.
Organising for someone else?
Venues often have their own rules about outside caterers: where vehicles can park, access times and the paperwork they need. Tell us what your venue needs and we’ll work to it.
Planning an event for a club, school or charity in Ockley? A truck or trailer serves a crowd quickly, with options for most diets. Tell us about the event and we’ll suggest a menu.
FAQs for Ockley
We’re having a ceremony at St John's Church: can you cater afterwards?
Yes, at a garden, field or venue nearby where the truck or trailer can park. We’d serve at the reception venue rather than at the church itself. Tell us where the reception will be.
Could we book your food truck for a private event in Ockley?
Yes, depending on the date. For a private or work event in a village or hamlet, the main thing is access: tell us about the lane, the gate and the ground.
Do you do food truck hire for weddings?
Wedding food from a truck feels relaxed and sociable, especially in the evening. We agree access and timings with the venue.
How does private food truck hire work?
You book the truck or trailer for set hours at your event. We cook to order, serve from the hatch and pack down afterwards.
What space does the truck need?
Tell us where you’d like the truck, and we will check it works. Our guide to space and power has more.
Do you clear up afterwards?
We pack down and leave our area tidy. Tell us the venue’s rules on waste and clearing up and we’ll talk it through.
How long are you on site?
That depends on your event and menu. We agree arrival, service and pack-down times with you to suit your day.
Do you need power and water?
It depends on the event and the set-up, and we agree power and water with you before the day. Tell us what’s available at your venue.
What we need at the venue
If a space isn’t suitable, we will tell you. What matters most:
- A parking suspension, where a street spot is needed
- A place for guests to eat close to the hatch
- The venue’s or landowner’s permission for a food truck
Not sure about your space? Send us a picture and we will tell you honestly before booking.

Is food truck hire right for your event?
Most guests have seen a burger van. Tacos and burritos from a truck feel different. The cost per head can fall as numbers rise, since the set-up is much the same either way. Give us your numbers and we will quote.
