About our food truck hire in Red Rice
Food truck hire means our food truck or trailer is booked for your guests only. It is a private booking, not public trading, so we plan the menu and service times around you. It suits staff appreciation days and family reunions, serving quesadillas, fresh salsas and guacamole and burritos.
Near Red Rice, a hired food truck in a field or garden suits private parties and work away days alike. Guests order at the hatch, so plan a sheltered spot for the queue in case of rain. We plan the timings around your day, whether that is speeches, a lunch break or a festival schedule.
Is food truck hire right for your event?
Hiring a food truck is different from finding one at a festival. At a festival we trade to the public; when you hire us, we serve only your guests, on your timings. Larger events can cost less per head, because the set-up is similar for different sizes of event. Give us your numbers and we’ll quote.

Your questions about food truck hire in Red Rice
Is Red Rice close to London?
It is about 65 miles from central London, and inside the area we cover.
Can you cater a reception after a service at Church of St Mary the Virgin?
Yes. The church itself is not 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.
Can guests build their own tacos?
We can. We can set up a build-your-own taco bar, served from the truck or a serving table, with fillings, salsas, guacamole and toppings. Read our taco bar guide.
Can you plan for allergies?
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). Anyone with a severe allergy should speak to us before the event.
Is the food very hot?
That’s your choice: we can keep the main dishes mild, with hotter salsas served separately. Read more about how spicy Mexican food is.
Can we add drinks?
The drinks bar comes with bar staff. We will talk through licensing first.
Can you do gluten-free food?
We can, using corn tortillas. Corn is naturally gluten-free, though some sauces and toppings can contain gluten, so we plan gluten-free dishes carefully and give allergen information.
What does hiring your food truck involve?
You hire the truck or trailer for agreed service times. We cook, serve and clear away.
Prices and what affects them
The same guest numbers can mean different prices, because of:
- The menu you choose
- How many guests we’re serving
- Adding food to drinks, or drinks to food
- Plates, napkins and cutlery
Cost depends on guest numbers, the menu and the length of service, plus any add-ons and the location. We quote for each event individually.
What we need to know
Good planning starts with a few facts. Try to include:
- Whether you’d like food, drinks or both
- Approximate guest numbers, including children
- Access for the truck or trailer, including gates and ground
- Any dietary needs and allergies
The more you tell us, the more accurate the quote: venue, timings, menu ideas and access. When you’re ready, send a quick message through our quote form.

Occasions we cater for in Red Rice
It is a private hire, so the queue is your guests only and the menu suits them.
Here are some of the events we cater around Red Rice:
- Winter staff parties
- Launch events
- Summer parties at home
- Company away days
When the service is at a church such as Church of St Mary the Virgin, the truck would serve at the reception venue rather than at the church.

The process
Guests tend to gather around the truck, so we’ll help you choose a spot with room for a queue. Rain does not generally stop us serving, though guests will want somewhere covered to stand or sit. At midsummer, it stays light in Red Rice until about 9:25pm, and by late September sunset is about 7:10pm. In December it’s dark by about 4:00pm, so the queue by the hatch needs lighting.
- Check our availability for your date.
- You get a menu for the hatch and a quote.
- The spot and the way in are agreed in advance.
- We drive in, open the hatch and serve your guests.
- We pack down and drive away when service ends.
Preparing for the day
- Find out what power and water are available
- Measure any gates or arches on the way in
- Choose a level, firm spot for the truck or trailer
Ask for a quote
We quote for each event separately, so the price fits what you actually want. To ask for one, use our quote form.
