The process
The truck or trailer tends to draw a crowd, so we’ll help you choose a spot with room for a queue. Rain doesn’t normally stop us serving, though guests will want somewhere covered to stand or sit. A Christmas party in Shalmsford Street with a hired food truck will be in the dark from about 3:50pm, so ask the venue about outdoor lighting where we’ll park. In late June, it stays light until about 9:15pm.
- First come the basics: date, location, numbers and diets.
- You get a hatch menu and a quote for the hire.
- Where the truck or trailer will stand, the route in, and power and water are all agreed in advance.
- On the day we drive in, set up and serve to order from the hatch.
- After service, we close the hatch, pack down and drive away.
How to prepare
- Arrange somewhere covered for guests to eat
- Confirm the venue allows outside caterers
- Pick a flat, firm spot for us to park

FAQs for Shalmsford Street
Is Shalmsford Street close to London?
About 51 miles from central London.
Can you cater a reception after a service at Church of St Mary?

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.
How big an event can you cater?
Our truck and trailer service normally suits events of around 50 to 400 guests. Festivals can be bigger, and smaller parties are quoted case by case. Tell us your numbers.

Working with your venue
If you’re organising for someone else, whether you’re a planner, an office manager or an event organiser, we’ll work directly with you and the venue. It saves passing messages back and forth.
For big numbers, we plan service to keep queues short, so everyone is served promptly. Tell us how long you have for food and drinks.
Is food truck hire right for your event?
A hog roast suits meat eaters well, but tacos and bowls make vegan, gluten-free and dairy-free guests easier to feed. There’s no one-size-fits-all price for food truck hire. A simple party menu and a full wedding day are very different jobs. Your quote sets it all out.
