How our food truck hire works in Pondwell
Food truck hire means our food truck or trailer is booked for your guests only. Unlike a stall at a festival or market, it is a private hire, so we plan the menu and service times around you. We serve tacos from the hatch, burritos and burrito bowls, and it suits end-of-year celebrations and wedding evening food.
In a small place like Pondwell, a hired food truck might park in a garden, paddock or field. Tell us about narrow lanes, gates and long drives. Firm ground matters, especially after rain. Every guest is catered for, vegan, vegetarian, dairy-free and gluten-free included, and we give allergen information for every dish.

Catering for every guest
Dietary needs are easy to plan for with a little notice. We suggest:
- Guests with serious allergies should contact us first
- Check gate widths and any height limits
- Count children separately
- Look into parking permissions if the truck cannot go off-road
Allergen information is available at the hatch for every dish.
Ask us about napkins, plates and cutlery and we’ll confirm the options in your quote.
What affects the price in Pondwell
Every event is priced individually, and the price depends on a few things:
- How long we’re needed on site
- Your choice of food and drinks
- How many guests we are serving
- Adding food to drinks, or drinks to food
Access and travel can make a difference to the cost, so it helps to tell us about your venue. Your quote confirms the full price.
Details that help
A few details help us give you an accurate quote. Here’s what to include:
- The address or venue name
- The date and rough timings
- Whether you’d like food, drinks or both
- Roughly how many adults and children
The more you tell us, the more accurate the quote: venue, timings, menu ideas and access. When you are ready, use our quote form.
Should I do it myself?
Doing it yourself? Start with the quantities: our guide to how many tacos per person helps. Keep tortillas warm in a covered basket, and label dishes for guests with allergies.
Doing it yourself saves money, but the host ends up in the kitchen. Booking a caterer means you can relax with everyone else.
How it compares
Several trucks mean several quotes and arrival times. One truck with tacos, burritos and nachos is one booking to manage. If you have a budget in mind, tell us, and we will suggest a menu to match. Even a simple menu can feel generous.
Why book with us
- Menus for vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and dairy-free guests

- A quote that sets out what’s included

Pondwell questions
We’re having a ceremony at St. Peter's Church: can you cater afterwards?
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 cater in villages like Pondwell?
Yes, small places are no problem, given access. Let us know about access and parking for the truck or trailer.
What happens if it rains?
We can serve from the hatch in the rain. It is worth planning a covered area for guests, and let us know if the ground gets soft after heavy rain.
How much space do you need?
The main things are access and a level spot: a firm spot for the truck or trailer, room for a queue and, for a taco bar, space for a serving table. Send us a picture and tell us about gates, slopes and soft ground.
Do you come to Pondwell?
We do. Pondwell is one of the places we cover. Tell us your date and we will check availability.
Are plates and napkins included?
We confirm that with your quote. Let us know what the venue supplies.
How is the food prepared?
We cook to order in our food truck or trailer kitchen, or serve from a taco bar. Fillings are slow-cooked beforehand and finished on site.
What does hiring your food truck involve?
We bring our truck or trailer to your venue, park in the agreed spot and serve your guests from the hatch. It’s a private booking for your guests only.
For planners, venues and organisers
Organising a club, school or community event in Pondwell? Service from a truck or trailer is quick, even for a crowd, and the menu can suit most diets. Give us the details and we will suggest a plan.
Events in public spaces, like parks, usually need permission. We’ll provide the information the landowner or council asks for from us.
Before you choose a spot
Plenty of outdoor spaces and venues work for us, but there are a few things to check:
- Seating or standing room near the truck
- A way in wide and high enough for the vehicle
- Some space between the truck and nearby homes
Pondwell is a more remote spot, so tell us early and we’ll plan the journey and access for the truck or trailer.
If you’re unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think before you book.
What’s on the menu
Tacos from the hatch
A taco is ideal food from a truck, and corn tortillas suit gluten-free guests.
Quesadillas
Crisp tortillas folded round melted cheese, cut into wedges.
How the day works
The truck or trailer tends to draw a crowd, so we will help you choose a spot with room for a queue. Rain does not typically stop us serving, though guests will want somewhere covered to stand or sit. A hired food truck at a summer event in Pondwell can serve in daylight until about 9:20pm at midsummer, while late September brings sunset forward to around 7:10pm. In December it is dark by about 4:00pm, so the queue by the hatch needs lighting.
- Share your plans for the event.
- We suggest fillings and dishes for every diet.
- We check power, water and timings with the venue.
- Service runs at the times you choose.
- When everyone is fed, we clear our area.
Getting ready for the day
- Find out what power and water are available
- Arrange somewhere covered for guests to eat
- Have level hardstanding or firm ground ready
Getting a price
