Food truck hire in South Ambersham, served fresh
A hired food truck works for weddings, birthdays and staff days, and any gathering where guests want hot food without a sit-down meal. It works well for big birthdays and end-of-year parties, serving tacos from the hatch, fresh salsas and guacamole and burritos.
For a rural spot like South Ambersham, food truck hire needs a little planning: gate widths, soft ground and the route from the road all matter. We confirm power and water arrangements with you. We’ll check the space, access and power with you before the day, so set-up goes smoothly.

Step by step
Guests tend to gather around the truck, so we will help you choose a spot with room for a queue. Rain doesn’t generally stop us serving, though guests will want somewhere covered to stand or sit. Planning a private evening event in South Ambersham? Sunset is around 8:50pm in late May and 9:20pm in late June. Once it is dark, some lighting near the hatch makes ordering easier.
- First come the basics: date, location, numbers and diets.
- We check availability and send a menu and a quote for hiring the truck or trailer.
- Before the day, we agree the spot, the way in, power and water.
- On the day we drive in, set up and serve to order from the hatch.
- After service, we close the hatch, pack down and drive away.
Preparing for the day
- Give us your final numbers and diets
- Tell us what power and water the site has
- Share the running order, including any speeches

What we need at the venue
Every venue is different, so we’ll ask about yours when you contact us. Generally, we look for:
- Some space between the truck and nearby homes
- Power and water details confirmed in advance
- A parking suspension, where a street spot is needed
If you are unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think before booking.
How we price food truck hire
The same guest numbers can mean different prices, because of:
- Distance and access to the venue
- How many staff you need
- Adding food to drinks, or drinks to food
- The length of service
The price depends on guest numbers, the menu and how long you’d like us to serve, along with extras and where your event is. Every event gets its own quote.
Details that help
To check availability and price, we need:
- Your date and when you want service to start
- A picture of where we’d park
- Access for the truck or trailer, including gates and ground
- Where the event is
The more you tell us, the more accurate the quote: the venue, the timings, food or drinks or both, and the access. When you are ready, send a quick message through our quote form.

FAQs for South Ambersham
Could you serve our guests after a service at Church of St James?
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.
Could we book your food truck for a private event in South Ambersham?
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.
Is the food made fresh?
We slow-cook fillings ahead, then finish them and keep them hot at your event. The tortillas are warmed on site, and the salsas and guacamole are made fresh.
When should we book?
As early as you can, especially for summer weekends. Even if it is short notice, it’s worth asking.
How many guests can you serve?
That depends on the menu and the service time, but our truck and trailer service normally suits around 50 to 400 guests. Tell us your numbers and we will advise.
How much is food truck hire?
There is no fixed price list, as every booking is different. Tell us your plans and we will quote for your event. See the Mexican catering cost guide for background.
Do you need electricity?
That depends on the set-up, and we agree power and water with you before the day. Tell us what’s available at your venue.
Can guests build their own tacos?
We can. A build-your-own taco bar can be served from the truck or a serving station, with fillings, salsas and toppings to choose from.
Should I do it myself?
A DIY taco night is possible for a crowd, but it is more work than it looks. There are fillings to slow-cook, tortillas to keep warm and salsas to make. Read our guide to taco bars.
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.
