About our food truck hire in Shalstone
Food truck hire means our truck or trailer is booked for your guests only. Unlike a stall at a festival or market, it is a private hire, so we plan the menu and service times around you. At retirement parties and milestone birthdays, we will put together a menu of loaded nachos, burritos and tacos from the hatch for your guests.
Near Shalstone, a hired food truck in a field or garden suits private parties and work away days alike. Guests order at the hatch, so plan a sheltered spot for the queue in case of rain. Access, space and power are agreed with you beforehand, so there are no surprises on arrival.

For planners, venues and organisers
Throwing a party at home? Send us a photo of the space and tell us about the drive and gates, and we’ll tell you honestly whether a truck or trailer will fit.
For repeat events, such as annual staff parties or seasonal fairs, let us know your dates early, so we can plan ahead.
Where the truck can go in Shalstone
Many gardens, fields and venues can take a truck or trailer, but there are a few things to check:
- Firm, level ground or hardstanding where the truck or trailer can park
- Any parking or loading permission needed for street locations
- Space in front of the hatch for guests to queue
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and the access, and we will advise before booking.

Food truck hire or something else?
Plated catering needs a kitchen tent, waiting staff and set courses. A food truck arrives as a kitchen and serves from the hatch, needing level ground, access and the venue’s permission. What’s on the menu makes a difference to the total, so tell us what you have in mind. We’ll suggest options to suit your budget.

Questions from Shalstone
How far is Shalstone from central London?
About 55 miles from central London, and well within our area.
Could we book your food truck for a private event in Shalstone?
Yes, as long as we are available on the date and can get the truck or trailer in. Tell us about the lane, gates, ground and parking.
How much does food truck hire cost?
We quote for every hire, depending on numbers, menu, location and timings. Contact us for a quote.
Do you do margaritas?
Yes, we offer a Mexican drinks bar, serving margaritas, Mexican beer, aguas frescas such as hibiscus and horchata, and soft drinks. Your venue or event may need the right licence for alcohol, so we will go through the licensing with you.
Do you cater for dietary needs?
There are vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and dairy-free options, and corn tortillas suit gluten-free guests. Allergen information is available for every dish.
Do you provide allergen information for each dish?
Yes, and it helps to hear about allergies when you book. Under UK rules, caterers must give information on 14 allergens, and we give it for every dish (Food Standards Agency guidance). Anyone with a severe allergy should speak to us before the event.
Do you have dairy-free options?
Yes, on request. Let us know your dairy-free numbers, and we’ll plan the menu around them.
Do you come to Shalstone?
We do. Shalstone is one of the places we cover. Send us your date to check availability.

Other catering in Shalstone
DIY taco night versus a caterer
Some hosts like to do it themselves. The usual problems are cold tortillas, running out of a popular filling and a host stuck at the stove. If you’d rather be with your guests, we’ll do the serving.
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.
The process
On the day, we position the truck or trailer and get the serving area ready. Service starts at the time we’ve agreed, so everything runs to your schedule.

- We check availability and send a menu and a quote for hiring the truck or trailer.
- We confirm the parking spot, access, power and water with you or the venue.
