How our food truck hire works in Penn
The truck or trailer is a working kitchen on wheels, so there is no need for kitchen space at the venue. What we do need is level ground, a way in and the venue’s agreement, with power and water confirmed per booking. On the menu are quesadillas, burritos and loaded nachos, which works well for family celebrations and engagements and anniversaries.
In a small place like Penn, 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. We serve from the hatch of our truck or trailer, or from a serving station, and we plan the service around your numbers.

The process
We work to your timings. If speeches run late or the photos take longer, let us know and we will adjust where we can. At midsummer, it stays light in Penn until about 9:25pm, and by late September sunset is about 7:05pm. For winter events, dark by about 3:55pm, plan lighting where guests queue at the hatch.
- First come the basics: date, location, numbers and diets.
- We suggest a menu for the hatch and quote for it.
- Before the day, we agree the spot, the way in, power and water.
- We arrive, open the hatch and cook to order for your guests.
- When service ends, we pack up and leave the spot clear.
How to prepare
- Measure any gates or arches on the way in
- Plan a covered area for guests if rain is likely
- Let us know who to talk to on the day

For event organisers in Penn
Planners and coordinators can contact us directly, and we’ll keep everyone informed on the day.
Hosting a party at home? Send us a photo of the space and tell us about the drive and gates, and we will tell you honestly whether a truck or trailer will fit.
Diets, allergies and planning
Every guest is catered for, vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and dairy-free included. To get it right:
- Email us any allergies
- Confirm the venue accepts outside caterers and vehicles
- Check gate widths and any height limits
- Count children separately
When service ends, we pack away, leaving our spot tidy.
Margaritas, Mexican beer and aguas frescas from our drinks bar can be added to the booking, with licensing checked with you.
Should I do it myself?
A DIY taco night is possible for a crowd, but it’s more work than it looks. Fillings need slow cooking, tortillas need warming as you go, and salsas need making. Our taco bar guide explains how.
DIY catering keeps costs down, but the host spends the party serving. Booking a caterer means you can relax with everyone else.
Penn questions
Can you bring a truck or trailer to venues in the Chilterns National Landscape?
Yes. Some venues there have rules about vehicles, ground and catering, so check with yours. We’ll follow the site rules.
Can you cater a reception after a service at Church of St Margaret?
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.
Do you offer a bar with the truck?
Our Mexican drinks bar can be added to a truck booking, with margaritas, Mexican beer and aguas frescas. We’ll talk licensing through with you.
How many guests can you serve?
Truck and trailer service generally suits around 50 to 400 guests. Smaller parties are quoted case by case, and festivals can be larger. Send us your numbers and we’ll advise.
What does it cost to hire the truck?
We quote for every hire, based on guest numbers, the menu, the location and service times. For a price, use our quote form.
What do you serve?
Every menu is agreed with you. Fillings could include slow-cooked pork carnitas, chicken tinga, beef birria and vegan options such as spiced mushrooms or black beans. Our sample menu has more ideas.
Is private hire the same as trading at a festival?
When you hire us, the booking is yours, so we don’t serve passers-by. Organisers wanting us to trade at their event can see our festival page.
How much is a food truck for an event?
We quote for each event, based on what you actually need. Give us your date, numbers and menu ideas for a clear quote.
