Food truck hire for Pennington events
Before you choose a spot
Before the day, we will agree where we park and serve. A good spot ticks these boxes:
- Space in front of the hatch for guests to queue
- Distance from houses and windows
- A way in wide and high enough for the vehicle
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and the access, and we’ll advise.
How our food truck hire works in Pennington
We bring the truck or trailer to private and work events in and around Pennington, from gardens to venue grounds and business parks. At engagement parties and big birthdays, we can serve vegan tacos, fresh salsas and guacamole and burritos and more.
For a place the size of Pennington, food truck hire at your own home is often simplest: no venue to book, and guests order straight from the hatch. Let us know about the route to the house. We arrive ready to serve, and clear our own area when service is finished.

DIY taco night versus a caterer
If you do it yourself, work out quantities first: our guide to how many tacos per person helps. Keep warmed tortillas covered, and label anything containing allergens.
A DIY taco night works well for a small group. For big numbers or lots of diets, a caterer makes life easier, with allergen information for every dish.
