Food truck hire in Shiplake Cross
Your questions about food truck hire in Shiplake Cross
Will you travel to a small place like Shiplake Cross?
Yes. Villages and hamlets are part of our area, and the main thing is access: tell us about the lane, the gate and the ground.
Could we book your food truck for a private event in Shiplake Cross?
Yes, subject to the date and access for the truck or trailer. Tell us about the lane, gates, ground and parking.
Do you do margaritas?
Yes, we offer a Mexican drinks bar, with margaritas, Mexican beer, aguas frescas and soft drinks. Alcohol at an event may need a licence, such as a premises licence or a Temporary Event Notice, so we’ll check the licensing with you.
Do you cater for dietary needs?
Diets are planned with you in advance, but we cannot promise an allergen-free kitchen. Anyone with a severe allergy should contact us before the event.
Can you do dairy-free food?
Yes. Dairy-free options are part of our menus.
What if the weather’s bad?
The truck or trailer can serve in the rain, but guests need somewhere covered to eat and drink, like a marquee or gazebo.
Do you do parties at home?
It depends on access. If the truck or trailer can’t reach the garden, a drive or a spot nearby may work, with permission. Send us a photo and we’ll talk it through.
Which areas do you serve?
We cover London and the South East, Oxfordshire included. Find your area.
Food truck hire in Shiplake Cross, from our food truck or trailer
Truck and trailer service normally suits around 50 to 400 guests. Smaller parties are quoted case by case, so tell us how many you expect. On the menu are burritos, tacos from the hatch and burrito bowls, and it suits wedding evening food and anniversary celebrations.
For a rural spot like Shiplake Cross, food truck hire needs a little planning: gate widths, soft ground and the route from the road all matter. Power and water may be limited, so we confirm the arrangements before the day. We cater for vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and dairy-free guests, and we give allergen information for every dish.

How the day works
Service is quick and friendly: guests are served at the hatch or a serving station, so even a long queue moves. Afterwards we clear our area. A Christmas party in Shiplake Cross 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 9:25pm.
- Check our availability for your date.
- We agree a hatch menu and send a quote.
- We confirm the parking spot and the route in.
- We drive in, open the hatch and serve your guests.
- After service, we close up and leave the spot clear.

DIY taco night versus a caterer
A DIY taco night works well for a small group. For larger numbers, mixed diets or a wedding, a caterer takes the pressure off, and handles allergen information for you.
Plenty of people try a DIY taco night at home. 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.
