How our food truck hire works in Sherborne St John
Guests walk up to the hatch, order and take their food away hot. It keeps things easy and relaxed for guests and hosts. At end-of-year celebrations and staff summer parties, we’ll put together a menu of quesadillas, burritos and vegan tacos.
For a rural spot like Sherborne St John, food truck hire needs a little planning: gate widths, soft ground and the route from the road all matter. We confirm power and water arrangements with you. Your quote sets out what’s included: the menu, the service time and any extras you choose.
DIY taco night versus a caterer
Doing it yourself? Start with the quantities: our guide to how many tacos per person helps. Keep tortillas warm in a covered basket, and label dishes for guests with allergies.
A DIY taco night is possible for a crowd, but it is more work than it looks. Fillings need slow cooking, tortillas need warming as you go, and salsas need making. Our taco bar guide explains how.

Diets, allergies and planning
Good planning keeps every guest safe and happy. Try these:
- Add a dietary question to the invitation
- Ask the venue about catering vehicles before booking
- Confirm allergies with us in writing
- Put anyone with a severe allergy in touch with us
We keep allergen information for every dish at the hatch, so guests can ask before ordering.
Ask about a second service later in the evening, quoted with the main booking.
Food truck hire or something else?
A marquee kitchen with plated service needs more space, more staff and more time. A food truck arrives as a kitchen and serves from the hatch, needing level ground, access and the venue’s permission. There is no one-size-fits-all price for food truck hire. A simple party menu and a full wedding day are very different jobs. Contact us for a quote.

- Options for gluten-free, dairy-free, vegetarian and vegan guests
