Food truck hire for Preston events
What happens on the day
We arrive in good time before service, then set up and prepare everything. When service opens, guests come up to the hatch or serving table. By late September, it is dark in Preston at around 7:00pm, so evening service from the truck may run past dusk. In late May, daylight lasts until about 8:45pm.
- Ask us whether your date is available.
- We agree a hatch menu and send a quote.
- The spot and the way in are agreed in advance.
- On the day, guests order at the hatch and we cook to order.
- After service, we close up and leave the spot clear.
Before we arrive
- Find out what power and water are available
- Give us your final numbers and diets
- Arrange somewhere covered for guests to eat
Ask for a quote
We need only a few details to quote: the date, where the event is, how many guests and any dietary needs. To send them, use our quote form.

About our food truck hire in Preston
As a guide, hiring the truck or trailer suits around 50 to 400 guests. Smaller gatherings are looked at case by case, so tell us how many you expect. We serve fresh salsas and guacamole, loaded nachos and quesadillas, and it’s a good fit for winter staff parties and back-garden parties.
For a rural spot like Preston, food truck hire needs a little planning: gate widths, soft ground and the route from the road all matter. Power and water may be limited, so we confirm the arrangements before the day. Everything is prepared fresh for your event and served from our truck or trailer, so guests get it at its best.
Questions from Preston
Can you bring your truck or trailer to Grove Ferry Picnic Area?
Only with permission from whoever runs the park, often the council. Check with them, and we’ll provide what they ask for from us.
Do you hire out your food truck for parties in places like Preston?
Yes, as long as we are available on the date and can get the truck or trailer in. Let us know about access and where we’d park.
What do you serve?
We agree a sample menu with each client. Fillings might 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.
Can you cater for children?
Of course. We can keep dishes mild, and simple options such as quesadillas or nachos can be part of the menu. Tell us how many children are coming.
What about power on site?
It depends on the event and the set-up, and we agree power and water with you before the day. Tell us what’s available at your venue.
Do you cater for dietary needs?
We plan for diets before the day, though we can’t guarantee there are no traces of any allergen. Anyone with a severe allergy should contact us before the event.
Do you have vegan options?
Yes. We can include vegetarian and vegan fillings like black beans or spiced mushrooms.

If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and the access, and we’ll advise.

Events we cater in Preston
Guests can come back to the hatch when they’re ready, rather than all at once.
Big or small, a truck or trailer works well. Common bookings include:
