Dietary needs and planning tips
Good planning keeps every guest safe and happy. Try these:
- Walk the access route and note narrow gaps
- Confirm allergies with us in writing
- Let us know who is coeliac
- Tell us how many children are coming
We keep allergen information for every dish at the hatch, so guests can ask before ordering.
Margaritas, Mexican beer and aguas frescas from our drinks bar can be added to the booking.
How our food truck hire works in Shortheath
Food truck hire means our food truck or trailer is booked for your guests only. It is a private booking, not public trading, so we plan the menu and service times around you. On the menu are quesadillas, vegan tacos and burrito bowls, and it is a good fit for milestone birthdays and wedding receptions.
In a hamlet or village like Shortheath, our truck or trailer can serve a private party or a team day in a field or garden. Guests order at the hatch, so plan a sheltered spot for the queue in case of rain. We turn up ready to serve, and tidy our own area afterwards.
What affects the price in Shortheath
Each event is quoted on its own, and the price depends on a few things:
- Travel, parking and access
- What the venue already provides
- Whether you add a drinks bar or food
- How long we’re needed on site
Catering from a truck or trailer can be a practical alternative to a sit-down meal, because it needs no venue kitchen. Ask us for a quote.
What to tell us
The more we know about your event, the better we can plan. Try to include:
- A picture of where we’d park
- Approximate guest numbers, including children
- What you’d like on the menu
- The date and rough timings
To get a price, just send a quick message through our quote form. Give us the details of your event, and we will suggest a menu to suit.
Why choose food truck hire in Shortheath?
People eat when they’re hungry, rather than all at once.
Big or small, a truck or trailer works well. Typical bookings include:
- Launch events
- Big birthdays
- Leaving parties
- Staff summer parties
If you are celebrating after a ceremony at a church like St Peter's Church, our truck or trailer can be waiting at the reception spot.
Questions to ask before booking
- How long the service runs
- Exactly what’s included in the price
- How late numbers can change
- Allergen information for each dish
Food truck hire or something else?

Shortheath questions
How far is Shortheath from central London?
About 37 miles from central London, and we cover it.
Could you serve our guests after a service at St Peter's Church?
Yes, at a garden, field or venue nearby where the truck or trailer can park. Service would be at the reception venue, not the church. Send us the reception address.
Can we hire a bar too?
Our Mexican drinks bar can be added to a truck booking, with margaritas, Mexican beer and aguas frescas. Licensing is checked with you.
What happens if it rains?
We can serve from the hatch in the rain. It’s worth planning a covered area for guests, and tell us if heavy rain could make the ground soft.
Can we have a build-your-own taco bar?
Yes, a taco bar is one of the ways we serve. Tell us about your space and numbers and we’ll suggest the best set-up.
How much does food truck hire cost?
We do not publish set prices, because each hire is different. Send your details and you’ll get a quote. Our food truck hire guide explains what affects the cost.
Do you need electricity?
That depends on the set-up, and we agree power and water with you before the day. Let us know whether there’s a supply near where we will park.
Do you have dairy-free options?
Yes, we can. Let us know your dairy-free numbers, and we will plan the menu around them.
Planning the serving area
Many gardens, fields and venues can take a truck or trailer, but there are a few things to check:
- Room for guests to gather at the hatch
- Enough width and height on the route in
- Somewhere for guests to sit or stand and eat
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and the access, and we’ll advise.

DIY taco night or a caterer?
Weighing up a DIY taco night against a caterer? Think about numbers, diets and how much you want to enjoy the day. Ask us for a quote and compare.
Plenty of people try a DIY taco night at home. Common snags are cold tortillas, uneven quantities and the host missing the party. If you’d rather be with your guests, we will do the serving.
How the day works
The truck or trailer tends to draw a crowd, so we plan a spot with space for people to queue. Rain does not typically stop us serving, but guests will need somewhere covered. A hired food truck at a summer event in Shortheath can serve in daylight until about 9:20pm at midsummer, while late September brings sunset forward to around 7:05pm. In December it’s dark by about 4:00pm, so the queue by the hatch needs lighting.
- Check our availability for your date.
- You get a menu for the hatch and a quote.
- The spot and the way in are agreed in advance.
- On the day, guests order at the hatch and we cook to order.
- We pack down and drive away when service ends.
Before we arrive
- Plan a covered area for guests if rain is likely
- Confirm numbers and diets before the day
- Have level hardstanding or firm ground ready
Ask for a quote
We quote for each event separately, so the price fits what you actually want. To ask for one, fill in our quote form.
