About our food truck hire in Ridgeway
We serve when you want us to: a set lunch hour, an evening slot or a few hours through a party. Tell us when guests should eat and we will plan around it. On the menu are quesadillas, vegan tacos and burrito bowls, and it is a good fit for retirement parties and client hospitality.
In a small place like Ridgeway, 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. We arrive ready to serve, and clear our own area when service is finished.
Working with your venue
Planning an event for a club, school or charity in Ridgeway? 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’ll suggest a plan.
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.

Your questions about food truck hire in Ridgeway
Will you travel to a small place like Ridgeway?
Yes. Villages and hamlets are part of our area, and the main thing is access: tell us about the lane, the gate and the ground.
How far is Ridgeway from London?
Roughly 53 miles from the centre of London, and well within our area.
How big an event can you cater?
It depends on the menu and how long service runs, but our truck and trailer service generally suits around 50 to 400 guests. For anything outside that, ask us.
Can you serve in the rain?
We can serve from the hatch in the rain. It’s worth planning a covered area for guests, and let us know if the ground gets soft after heavy rain.
Can you cater for guests who avoid dairy?
We can. Dairy-free options are part of our menus, and we will tell you which dishes contain milk.
What do you need at the venue?
Tell us where you’d like the truck, and we will check the access. Our guide to space and power has more.
How far ahead should we book?
As soon as you have a date. Popular dates go first, so it pays to ask early.
How much does food truck hire cost?
There’s no fixed price list, as every booking is different. Tell us your plans and we’ll quote for your event. Our food truck hire guide explains what affects the cost.

DIY taco night versus a caterer
For a small group, a taco night at home can work well. For big numbers or lots of diets, a caterer makes life easier, with allergen information for every dish.
A DIY taco night is possible for a crowd, but it’s more work than it looks. Fillings need slow cooking, tortillas need warming as you go, and salsas need making. Our taco bar guide explains how.
A closer look at the menu
Salsas and guacamole
Salsas and guacamole finish every order, from mild to hot.
Quesadillas
Toasted tortillas with melted cheese and a filling, cut into wedges.
Planning for every diet
Most events have a mix of diets. To cater well for them:
- Put anyone with a severe allergy in touch with us
- Tell us when guests should eat
- Plan a covered area for guests to eat
- Let us know who is coeliac
We can serve through rain, but guests will want a covered area to eat.
Simple quesadillas suit younger guests, if you’d like a kids’ choice.
- Served from our truck or trailer at your venue, garden or event
- Vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and dairy-free options, with allergen information
