Food truck hire for Pitland Street events
Food truck hire in Pitland Street, from our truck or trailer
We bring the truck or trailer to private and work events in and around Pitland Street, from gardens to venue grounds and business parks. It suits staff appreciation days and retirement parties, serving loaded nachos, burrito bowls and fresh salsas and guacamole.
In a small place like Pitland Street, 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. Timings are planned around your event, whether that’s speeches, a lunch break or a festival schedule.
Step by step
Serving is quick: guests are served at the hatch or a serving station, so even a long queue moves. When service ends, we pack down. Late-September events in Pitland Street see sunset at about 7:05pm, so evening service from the truck may run past dusk. A late-May event keeps its light until roughly 8:50pm.
- First come the basics: date, location, numbers and diets.
- We check availability and send a menu and a quote for hiring the truck or trailer.
- Where the truck or trailer will stand, the route in, and power and water are all agreed in advance.
- Your guests order at the hatch and we serve hot food at the agreed times.
- When service ends, we pack up and leave the spot clear.
How to prepare
- Pick a flat, firm spot for us to park
- Give us a contact for the day
- Get the venue’s permission for us to park and serve

How it compares
Plated catering needs a kitchen tent, waiting staff and set courses. Our food truck or trailer brings the kitchen and serves from one hatch, needing level ground, access and the venue’s permission. Larger events can cost less per head, since the set-up is much the same either way. Give us your numbers and we will quote.

Questions from Pitland Street
Could you serve our guests after a service at St Mary The Virgins Church?
Yes. The church itself isn’t where we’d set up, but a hall, field or garden close by with room for the truck or trailer can work well. Let us know the reception address and we will check the access.
Do you hire out your food truck for parties in places like Pitland Street?
Yes, subject to the date and access for the truck or trailer. Tell us about the lane, gates, ground and parking.
What space does the truck need?
Send us the address and a description of the spot, and we will check the access. There is more in our space and power guide.
What happens if it rains?
We can keep serving from the truck or trailer in the rain, but guests need somewhere covered to eat and drink, such as a marquee, gazebo or nearby building.
How does private food truck hire work?
You book the truck or trailer for set hours at your event. We cook, serve and clear away.
Can you cater for special diets?
There are gluten-free, dairy-free, vegetarian and vegan options, with corn tortillas for gluten-free guests. Allergen information is available for every dish.
How much is a food truck for an event?
Every event is quoted individually, so the price fits what you want. Give us your date, numbers and menu ideas and we will reply with a quote.
Do you provide allergen information for each dish?
Yes, and it helps to hear about allergies when you book. Under UK rules, caterers must give information on 14 allergens, and we do that for every dish (Food Standards Agency guidance). For severe allergies, please talk to us first.
Prices and what affects them
The price comes down to a few factors:
- Guest numbers
- How long we are needed on site
- The menu you choose
- Distance and access to the venue
Catering from a truck or trailer can be a practical alternative to a sit-down meal, as there’s no kitchen to hire. Contact us for a quote to compare.
What to tell us
For a quote, it helps to have:
- Whether you’d like food, drinks or both
- Diets and allergies you know about
- Access for the truck or trailer, including gates and ground
- The date and time of the event
The quickest way to a quote is to drop us a line using the enquiry form. Give us the details of your event, and we’ll put together a menu and price.
Who books food truck hire in Pitland Street?

Should I do it myself?
You can host your own taco night for a crowd, but it takes planning. There are fillings to slow-cook, tortillas to keep warm and salsas to make. Read our guide to taco bars.
You can set up your own drinks table, but someone still has to mix, pour and keep an eye on it all evening. See our margarita bar guide.
Dietary needs and planning tips
Every guest is catered for, vegan, vegetarian, dairy-free and gluten-free included. To make it work smoothly:
- Check early that your venue allows food trucks
- Let us know who is coeliac
- Add a dietary question to the invitation
- Ask about parking rules if we’ll be on a road
We drive in at the agreed time and park in the planned spot. It helps if someone can meet us on arrival.
A taco-bar station can sit next to the truck.
