What we need at the venue

- Enough width and height on the route in
- A place for guests to eat close to the hatch
- Any parking or loading permission needed for street locations

Food truck hire in Rockford, from our food truck or trailer
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 the menu and timings are set around your event. It suits milestone birthdays and client hospitality, with fresh salsas and guacamole, tacos from the hatch and burritos.
In a hamlet or village like Rockford, our truck or trailer can serve a private party or a team day in a field or garden. Guests queue at the hatch, so have some cover ready in case of rain. We prepare everything fresh for your event and serve it straight from our truck or trailer, so guests get it at its best.
What happens on the day
A typical event goes like this: we park up and get ready, service opens at the agreed time, and we serve your guests fresh for the agreed time. At midsummer, it stays light in Rockford until about 9:25pm, and by late September sunset is about 7:10pm. For winter events, dark by about 4:05pm, plan lighting where guests queue at the hatch.
- Check our availability for your date.
- We agree a hatch menu and send a quote.
- We confirm the parking spot and the route in.
- We drive in, open the hatch and serve your guests.
- We pack down and drive away when service ends.
Before we arrive
- Check gates and access routes are wide and high enough
- Plan a covered area for guests if rain is likely
- Tell us what power and water the site has

Rockford questions
We’re having a ceremony at Church of St Martins: can you cater afterwards?
Yes, at a nearby garden, marquee or hall with access for the truck or trailer. Service would be at the reception venue, not the church. Send us the reception address.
Could we book your food truck for a private event in Rockford?
Yes, depending on the date. For a private or work event in a village or hamlet, the main thing is access: tell us about the lane, the gate and the ground.
Do you provide plates and napkins?
Ask us when you enquire. Tell us what your venue provides, and we’ll set out plates, napkins and cutlery in your quote.
What do you need at the venue?
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. Send us a picture and tell us about gates, slopes and soft ground.
Do you cater for vegetarian guests?
Yes, and we plan them in from the start. Tell us your numbers when you ask for a quote.
Do you clear up afterwards?
Our area is packed away and left tidy. Let us know the venue’s rules on waste and we will confirm the arrangements with your quote.
How is private hire different from festival trading?
When you hire us, the booking is yours, and we don’t sell to the public. Event organisers should see street food for festivals.
What do you serve?
Every menu is agreed with you. Fillings could include chicken tinga, pork carnitas, al pastor-style pork and vegan options like black beans. Our sample menu has more ideas.

Is food truck hire right for your event?
Hiring a food truck is different from finding one at a festival. At public events, anyone can buy; when you hire us, we serve only your guests, on your timings. Catering from a truck or trailer can be a practical alternative to a sit-down meal, because it needs no venue kitchen. Ask us for a quote.
