Food truck hire in Sidlow, served fresh
We bring the truck or trailer to private and work events in and around Sidlow: gardens, venue grounds, car parks and business parks. At leaving dos and retirements and end-of-year celebrations, we’ll put together a menu of burritos, quesadillas and tacos from the hatch.
Somewhere as small as Sidlow, food truck hire can mean a garden, a field or a barn. Lanes, gates and long drives are fine if we know about them. Firm ground matters, especially after rain. You can book food, drinks or both, so one caterer can cover more of the day.

What affects the price in Sidlow
The price comes down to a few factors:
- Whether you add a drinks bar or food
- Guest numbers
- The length of service
- What the venue already provides
Comparing caterers? Look at what each quote includes: service time, staff, plates and napkins, travel and VAT. Contact us for a quote and we’ll set out what’s included.
Details that help
To check availability and price, we need:
- The date and rough timings
- Roughly how many adults and children
- Vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free, dairy-free and allergy numbers
- Whether you’d like food, drinks or both
The more you tell us, the more accurate the quote: the venue, the timings, food or drinks or both, and the access. When you’re ready, tell us about it on our contact page.
Organising for someone else?
If you are organising for someone else, such as a wedding planner, an office manager or a festival organiser, we’re happy to deal with you and the venue directly. It keeps things simple.
Planners and coordinators can contact us directly, and we’ll keep you updated on timings and set-up.
Can I do a taco night myself?
If you do it yourself, work out quantities first: our guide to how many tacos per person helps. Keep warmed tortillas covered, and label dishes for guests with allergies.
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.
Planning for every diet
With a little notice, most diets are easy. We suggest:
- Count children separately
- Tell us about coeliac guests
- Guests with serious allergies should contact us first
- Look into parking permissions if the truck can’t go off-road
Service starts when your timings say, and we cook each order as it comes.
Ask us about napkins, plates and cutlery and we’ll confirm the options in your quote.
