Food truck hire for your event in Shillingford
Guests walk up to the hatch, order and take their food away hot. It keeps things easy and relaxed. We serve quesadillas, tacos from the hatch and burrito bowls, which works well for summer parties at home and milestone birthdays.
For a rural spot like Shillingford, food truck hire needs a little planning: the gate, the ground and the distance from the lane. Power and water may be limited, so we confirm the arrangements before the day. Every guest is catered for, vegan, vegetarian, dairy-free and gluten-free included, and we give allergen information for every dish.

Why choose food truck hire in Shillingford?
Hiring a food truck is different from finding one at a festival. At a festival we trade to the public; a private hire means your guests, your menu and your timings. Got a budget? Let us know, and we will suggest a menu to match. Even a simple menu can feel generous.

Can I do a taco night myself?
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. Read our guide to taco bars.
Running your own drinks table is one option, but someone has to serve all evening. Our margarita bar guide has tips.
