How our food truck hire works in Penhurst
A hired food truck works for weddings, birthdays and staff days. For end-of-year parties and staff appreciation days, we will put together a menu of loaded nachos, quesadillas and fresh salsas and guacamole and more.
In a rural place like Penhurst, access is the main thing to plan for a hired truck: gate widths, soft ground and the route from the road all matter. Power and water may be limited, so we confirm the arrangements before the day. Timings are planned around your event, so service starts when you want it.

Questions from Penhurst
Do you cater in villages like Penhurst?
Yes, we cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Let us know about access and parking for the truck or trailer.
What’s the nearest station to Penhurst for guests?
Guests can use Battle station, about 3.8 miles east of Penhurst.
How does food truck hire work?
Our food truck or trailer comes to your venue and serves your guests from the hatch. It’s a private booking for your guests only.
When should we book?
Early, particularly for summer Saturdays. Even if it’s short notice, it is worth asking.
Can you cater in a back garden?
Yes, if the truck or trailer can get in and park on level, firm ground. Send us a photo of the access and the space, and we will tell you honestly whether it works.
Can we hire the truck for our wedding?
Wedding food from a truck feels relaxed and sociable, especially in the evening. We will check access and timings with your venue.
Can you keep it mild?
We can keep it mild, and hotter salsas go on the side for guests who like heat.
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.
Dietary needs and planning tips
Allergies and diets are taken seriously. Help us by following these steps:
- Put anyone with a severe allergy in touch with us
- Give us separate numbers for children
- Send allergy details in writing
- Walk the access route and note narrow gaps
We arrive in the agreed window and park where we’ve arranged. It helps if someone can meet us on arrival.
Margaritas, Mexican beer and aguas frescas from our drinks bar can join the truck.
DIY taco night or a caterer?
For a small group, a taco night at home can work well. For larger numbers, mixed diets or a wedding, a caterer takes the pressure off, with allergen information for every dish.
Plenty of people try a DIY taco night at home. Common snags are cold tortillas, uneven quantities and the host missing the party. If you’d rather be with your guests, we’ll do the serving.
What’s on the menu
Loaded nachos
A tray of nachos works as a starter or a late snack.
Burrito bowls
Everything from a burrito, served in a bowl.
