Food truck hire in Rock
Food truck hire for your event in Rock
Food truck hire means our food truck or trailer is booked for your guests only. Unlike a stall at a festival or market, it’s a private hire, so the menu and timings are set around your event. We serve fresh salsas and guacamole, loaded nachos and burritos, which works well for back-garden parties and client hospitality.
For a rural spot like Rock, food truck hire needs a little planning: the gate, the ground and the distance from the lane. We confirm power and water arrangements with you. Guests are served from our truck or trailer, or from a serving table nearby, and we plan the service around your numbers.

Planning the serving area
Before the day, we’ll agree where we park and serve. A good spot ticks these boxes:
- Gate widths, overhead branches and soft ground checked in advance
- Arrangements for power and water, agreed when you book
- Some space between the truck and nearby homes
If you are unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think before you book.

How the day works
On the day, we position the truck or trailer and get the serving area ready. We are ready to serve at the agreed time, so everything runs to your schedule. Late-September events in Rock see sunset at about 7:05pm, so evening service from the truck may run past dusk. In late May, daylight lasts until about 8:50pm.
- Send us your date, the address, a headcount and dietary needs.
- We suggest a menu for the hatch and quote for it.
- Where the truck or trailer will stand, the route in, and power and water are all agreed in advance.
- Your guests order at the hatch and we serve hot food at the agreed times.
- When service ends, we pack up and leave the spot clear.
Preparing for the day
- Measure any gates or arches on the way in
- Ask the venue about power and water
- Send us final numbers and dietary needs in good time
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, fill in our quote form.

- Check parking and loading rules for street locations
- Give us separate numbers for children
- Ask guests with severe allergies to speak to us beforehand
- Collect diets and allergies with your RSVPs
We can serve through rain, but guests will want a covered area to eat.

Rock questions
How far is Rock from central London?
Roughly 43 miles from the centre of London, and well within our area.
Do you cater in villages like Rock?
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 many guests can you serve?
That depends on the menu and the service time, but around 50 to 400 guests is the usual range. For anything outside that, ask us.
What if the weather’s bad?
We can keep serving from the truck or trailer in the rain, but guests need somewhere covered to eat and drink, such as a marquee, gazebo or nearby building.
Do you take everything away?
We clear our own area when service is finished. For anything beyond that, such as guests’ tables, ask us.
Do you cater for vegetarian guests?
Yes, and we plan them in from the start. Let us know how many vegetarian and vegan guests to expect.
Do you do parties at home?
Yes, as long as there is access and a level, firm spot. Tell us about the drive, gates and any slopes, and we’ll tell you honestly whether it works.
What do you need at the venue?
Level, firm ground or hardstanding for the truck or trailer, and a route in it can fit through, and the venue’s agreement. Power and water arrangements are confirmed with each booking.
Working with your venue
Wedding planners and venue coordinators are welcome to contact us directly, and we’ll keep you updated on timings and set-up.
Venues often have their own rules about outside caterers: vehicle access, arrival times and documents. Tell us what your venue needs and we will work to it.
DIY taco night or a caterer?
Running your own drinks table is one option, but someone has to serve all evening. See our margarita bar guide.
DIY catering keeps costs down, but the host spends the party serving. With a caterer, you get the food and drinks without the work.
Prices and what affects them
We’ll give you a clear quote. What affects it most:
- Food, drinks or both
- Timings and hours
- How many guests we’re serving
- How many staff you need

When you contact us, it helps to tell us:
- Your menu ideas
- A picture of where we’d park
- Roughly how many adults and children
