Food truck hire in Old Tree
Planning the serving area
The route in matters as much as the spot itself. We look for:
- Gate widths, overhead branches and soft ground checked in advance
- The landowner’s go-ahead for the truck or trailer
- Any parking or loading permission needed for street locations
If you are unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think.
Popular choices
- Burritos
- Tacos
- Mexican drinks bar

Food truck hire in Old Tree, served fresh
We serve when you want us to: a lunchtime window, an evening service or a longer slot through a party. Let us know your running order and we’ll plan around it. For garden parties and private outdoor parties, we will put together a menu of burritos, loaded nachos and quesadillas and more.
In a small place like Old Tree, 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. Every guest is catered for, gluten-free, dairy-free, vegetarian and vegan included, with allergen information for everything we serve.
What affects the price in Old Tree
The same guest numbers can mean different prices, because of:
- What the venue already provides
- The number of people
- Whether you add a drinks bar or food
- Parking and the route in
There is no one-size-fits-all price for food truck hire. A simple party menu and a full wedding day are very different jobs. Contact us for a quote.
Details that help
You do not need every detail fixed to get a quote, but it helps to know:
- The address or venue name
- The date and time of the event
- Your menu ideas
- A picture of the space, if it’s a garden or field
Getting a quote is simple: share your date, venue, numbers and diets. We will come back with a clear quote.
How it works
The truck or trailer needs a level, firm spot with access to drive in, with power and water arrangements agreed beforehand. Send us a photo of the space if you’re unsure. A hired food truck at a summer event in Old Tree can serve in daylight until about 9:15pm at midsummer, and by late September sunset is about 7:00pm. For winter events, dark by about 3:50pm, plan lighting where guests queue at the hatch.
- Check our availability for your date.
- We agree a hatch menu and send a quote.
- The spot and the way in are agreed in advance.
- On the day, guests order at the hatch and we cook to order.
- We pack down and drive away when service ends.
Preparing for the day
- Confirm numbers and diets before the day
- Get the venue’s permission for us to park and serve
- Tell us what power and water the site has
Ask for a quote
Most quotes start with a few simple details: the date, where the event is, how many guests and any dietary needs. To send them, tell us about it on our contact page.

Old Tree: your questions answered
Could we book your food truck for a private event in Old Tree?
Yes, subject to the date and access for the truck or trailer. Let us know about access and where we’d park.
Do you come out to small places like Old Tree?
Yes. Villages and hamlets are part of our area, and the main thing is access: tell us about the lane, the gate and the ground.
How soon do we need to book?
As soon as you have a date. Popular dates go first, so contact us early.
Can you come to a private house?
That 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 photo and we’ll talk it through.
Do you provide drinks?
Yes, we offer a Mexican drinks bar, with margaritas, Mexican beer, aguas frescas and soft drinks. Alcohol at an event may need a licence, such as a premises licence or a Temporary Event Notice, so we’ll talk licensing through with you.
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.
Do you cover Old Tree?
Yes. We cover London and the South East, and Old Tree is within our area. To check your date, use our quote form.
How long do you serve for?
It depends on your event. We agree arrival, service and pack-down times with you so everything fits your schedule.
Is food truck hire right for your event?
A DIY barbecue keeps a host at the grill. With a hired truck, we do the cooking so you can join in. Cost depends on guest numbers, the menu and the length of service, plus any add-ons and the location. We quote for each event individually.
Why book with us

When service ends, we pack away.
