Food truck hire in Shipton Bellinger, served fresh
Guests walk up to the hatch, order and take their food away hot. It’s simple, quick and sociable for guests and hosts. At anniversary celebrations and end-of-year parties, we will put together a menu of quesadillas, vegan tacos and burrito bowls for your guests.
In a small place like Shipton Bellinger, a hired food truck might park in a garden, paddock or field. Lanes, gates and long drives are fine if we know about them. Firm ground matters, especially after rain. We serve from the hatch of our truck or trailer, or from a serving station, and we plan the service around your numbers.
Dietary needs and planning tips
Most events have a mix of diets. To cater well for them:
- Confirm the venue accepts outside caterers and vehicles
- Guests with serious allergies should contact us first
- Collect diets and allergies with your RSVPs
- Email us any allergies
The hatch opens at the time you choose, and we cook each order as it comes.
Quesadillas make an easy option for children, if you’d like a kids’ choice.
Popular choices
Tacos from the hatch
Warm tortillas filled to order and finished with salsa, with a choice of fillings agreed with you.
Burritos
A large flour tortilla rolled round rice, beans, a filling and toppings.
Should I do it myself?
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 enjoy the party, let us serve.
DIY catering keeps costs down, but the host spends the party serving. Booking a caterer means you can relax with everyone else.

Shipton Bellinger: your questions answered
Do you come out to small places like Shipton Bellinger?
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.
What’s the nearest station to Shipton Bellinger for guests?
The closest is Grateley station, roughly 3.4 miles away.
What happens if it rains?
We can serve from the hatch in the rain. It is worth planning a covered area for guests, and let us know if the ground gets soft after heavy rain.
Which areas do you serve?
We cater across London and the South East, including Hampshire. See all areas.
How spicy is the food?
It is up to you: we can keep it mild and put the hotter salsas on the side.
How big an event can you cater?
Truck and trailer service usually suits around 50 to 400 guests. Smaller parties are quoted case by case, and festivals can be larger. Tell us your numbers.
Do you have dairy-free options?
Yes. We offer dairy-free options, and we’ll tell you which dishes contain milk.
Who clears up?
Our area is packed away and left tidy. Tell us the venue’s rules on waste and clearing up and we will talk it through.
Is food truck hire right for your event?
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. Pricing depends on the event. A short lunch service for a team is a different job from a full wedding day. Your quote sets it all out.
What we offer in Shipton Bellinger
- Fast service, even with a queue
- Allergen information for everything we serve
- Access, space and power checked in advance

For planners, venues and organisers
Venues often have their own rules about outside caterers: vehicle access, arrival times and documents. Tell us what your venue needs and we’ll work to it.
For big numbers, we plan service to keep queues short, so everyone is served promptly. Let us know how long the break is.
Where the truck can go in Shipton Bellinger
No two venues are the same, so we will ask about yours when you contact us. In general, we need:
- Distance from houses and windows
- Seating or standing room near the truck
- Room for guests to gather at the hatch
Not sure about your space? Send us a picture and we will tell you honestly before you book.
How the day works
Guests tend to gather around the truck, so we will help you choose a spot with room for a queue. Rain doesn’t usually stop us serving, but guests will need somewhere covered. At midsummer, it stays light in Shipton Bellinger until about 9:25pm, and by late September sunset is about 7:10pm. In December it’s dark by about 4:00pm, so the queue by the hatch needs lighting.
- Share your plans for the event.
- Together we plan dishes that cover your guests’ diets.
- We check power, water and timings with the venue.
- Service runs at the times you choose.
- Once service ends, we tidy up and go.
Before we arrive
- Ask the venue about power and water
- Measure any gates or arches on the way in
