Food truck hire in Sholden
How our food truck hire works in Sholden
Pair the truck with our Mexican drinks bar for margaritas, Mexican beer and aguas frescas. We can add a taco-bar station next to the truck. For family reunions and launch events, we can serve fresh salsas and guacamole, burritos and loaded nachos for your guests.
Near Sholden, 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. You can book food, drinks or both, so the food and drinks can come from one caterer.
Is food truck hire right for your event?
Booking several street food trucks means juggling several suppliers. One truck with tacos, burritos and nachos is one booking to manage. When you compare quotes, check what each one includes: serving hours, staff, disposables, travel and VAT. Our quote sets out what’s included.

Sholden questions
Can we hire your food truck for a private party in Sholden?
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.
Which station should guests use for Sholden?
Guests can use Deal station, about 1.1 miles east of Sholden.
Can you cater in a back garden?
That depends on access. A drive or a spot nearby may work, with permission, if the garden itself is out of reach. Send us a photo and we will talk it through.
When do you arrive?
It depends on your event. We agree arrival, service and pack-down times with you to suit your day.
What do you serve?
We agree a sample menu with each client. Fillings could include slow-cooked pork carnitas, chicken tinga, beef birria and vegan options such as spiced mushrooms or black beans. Our sample menu has more ideas.
Can we hire the truck for our wedding?
Wedding food from a truck feels relaxed and sociable. We’ll check access and timings with your venue.
What do you need at the venue?
A firm, level spot, a way in that fits the vehicle, and the venue’s agreement. We confirm power and water when you book.
Are plates and napkins included?
That is confirmed with each quote. Tell us whether your venue has crockery or you’d prefer disposables.
Working with your venue
Throwing a party at home? Send us a photo of the space and tell us about the drive and gates, and we’ll let you know if it is a good fit.
If you are planning an event on someone’s behalf, whether you’re a planner, an office manager or an event organiser, we are happy to deal with you and the venue directly. It saves passing messages back and forth.
Can I do a taco night myself?
Doing it yourself saves money, but the host ends up in the kitchen. With a caterer, you get the food and drinks without the work.
Not sure whether to do it yourself or book a caterer? Consider your numbers, your guests’ diets and your own time. Ask us for a quote and compare.
Planning for every diet
We cater for vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and dairy-free guests. To get it right:
- Guests with serious allergies should contact us first
- Look into parking permissions if the truck can’t go off-road
- Check gate widths and any height limits
- Plan a covered area for guests to eat
At the end of service, we close the hatch and pack down, leaving our spot tidy.
Ask us about napkins, plates and cutlery and we will confirm the options in your quote.
