Food truck hire in Shalford, served fresh
Fillings might include carnitas, al pastor-style pork or chicken tinga, with vegan choices like black bean and sweet potato. We plan for vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and dairy-free guests. Popular choices include burrito bowls, burritos and quesadillas, and it suits big birthdays and leaving parties.
In a hamlet or village like Shalford, our food 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. Food and drinks can be booked together or separately, so one caterer can cover more of the day.
Should I do it myself?
You can set up your own drinks table, but someone has to serve all evening. See our margarita bar guide.
Not sure whether to do it yourself or book a caterer? Think about numbers, diets and how much you want to enjoy the day. Contact us for a quote to compare.

Diets, allergies and planning
A Mexican menu is easy to plan for mixed diets, because options can be kept separate. Here are a few tips for planning:
- Add a dietary question to the invitation
- Check parking and loading rules for street locations
- Plan a covered area for guests to eat
- Confirm allergies with us in writing
Service starts when your timings say.

How it works
Here’s how the day usually runs: we arrive and set up, service opens at the agreed time, and your guests are served fresh until service ends. A Christmas party in Shalford with a hired food truck will be in the dark from about 3:55pm, so ask the venue about outdoor lighting where we’ll park. In late June, it stays light until about 9:20pm.
- Share your plans for the event.
- We suggest fillings and dishes for every diet.
- We check power, water and timings with the venue.
- The truck serves at the agreed times.
- When everyone is fed, we clear our area.
How to prepare
- Confirm the venue allows outside caterers
- Have a marquee or gazebo ready in case of rain
- Choose a level, firm spot for the truck or trailer

Common questions in Shalford
Can you cater a reception after a service at Church of St Mary the Virgin?
Yes, at a garden, field or venue nearby where the truck or trailer can park. Service would be at the reception venue, not the church. Tell us where the reception will be.
Do you cater in villages like Shalford?
Yes, small places are no problem, given access. Let us know about access and parking for the truck or trailer.
When do you arrive?
That depends on your event and menu. Timings are agreed in advance so everything fits your schedule.
How much does food truck hire cost in Shalford?
It depends on guest numbers, the menu, the length of service and the location. Send us the details for a quote.
How many guests can you serve?
It depends on the menu and how long service runs, but around 50 to 400 guests is the usual range. For anything outside that, ask us.
Can you plan for allergies?
Yes. Tell us about allergies when you book. UK law requires caterers to provide information on 14 allergens, and we do that for every dish (Food Standards Agency guidance). Anyone with a severe allergy should speak to us before the event.
Do you clear up afterwards?
We clear our own area when service is finished. For anything beyond that, such as guests’ tables, ask us.
Can we hire the truck for our wedding?
A food truck suits a relaxed wedding well, especially in the evening. We agree access and timings with the venue.
