Food truck hire in Preston, served fresh
When you hire our food truck, it serves your guests and nobody else. Unlike a stall at a festival or market, it is a private hire, so we plan the menu and service times around you. At private parties in fields and grounds and client hospitality, we can serve tacos from the hatch, burritos and burrito bowls for your guests.
Around Preston, a hired food truck can serve in a garden, a field or a hall car park. If the road in is narrow or the ground soft, tell us so we can plan. Everything is prepared fresh for your event and served from our truck or trailer.
Prices and what affects them
Two events with the same number of guests can cost different amounts, because of:
- Distance and access to the venue
- The menu you choose
- How many staff you need
- How many guests we’re serving
Got a budget? Let us know, and we’ll suggest a menu that fits. A simple menu can still feel generous.

Preston: your questions answered
How far is Preston from central London?
About 45 miles from central London, and we cover it.
Is it possible to have you in Oare Meadow?
It depends on the park’s owner, who would need to agree to a catering vehicle on site. Ask them first; if they say yes, we’ll send what they need from us.
How is the food prepared?
Food is cooked to order in our food truck or trailer, or served from a build-your-own taco bar. Slow-cooked fillings are prepared in advance and kept hot on site.
Do you come to Preston?
We do. We serve at events in Preston and across Kent. Tell us your date and we’ll check availability.
Is private hire the same as trading at a festival?
Private hire means we serve only your guests, with a menu and timings you agree with us. Festival and market trading is open to the public.
Do you give allergen information?
Yes, and it helps to hear about allergies when you book. Under UK rules, caterers must give information on 14 allergens, and we give it for every dish (Food Standards Agency guidance). For severe allergies, please talk to us first.
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. If in doubt, send us a photo of the space and the way in.
How much is food truck hire?
Each hire is quoted individually, based on guest numbers, the menu, the location and service times. For a price, send us your details through our quote form.

What else we do in Preston
Space, access and the venue
We’ll be honest if a space will not work, and suggest an alternative. What matters most:
- Arrangements for power and water, agreed when you book
- Any parking or loading permission needed for street locations
- The venue’s or landowner’s permission for a food truck
Not sure about your space? Send us a picture and we will tell you honestly.
Planners, venues and businesses
If your event is in a public space, such as a park, check what permission you need first. We will provide the information the landowner or council asks for from us.
Hosting a party at home? Send us a photo of the space and tell us about the drive and gates, and we’ll let you know if it is a good fit.
