About our food truck hire in Southford
As a guide, hiring the truck or trailer suits around 50 to 400 guests. Smaller gatherings are looked at case by case, so tell us how many you expect. At leaving dos and retirements and milestone birthdays, we can serve fresh salsas and guacamole, burrito bowls and vegan tacos and more.
For a rural spot like Southford, food truck hire needs a little planning: gate widths, soft ground and the route from the road all matter. Power and water may be limited, so we confirm the arrangements before the day. Every guest is catered for, vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and dairy-free included, and we give allergen information for every dish.

If you’re unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think before you book.

Diets are planned with you in advance, though we cannot guarantee there are no traces of any allergen. Guests with severe allergies should talk to us first.

Can you cater for vegetarians and vegans?
Yes. Vegetarian and vegan fillings, such as spiced mushrooms or black beans, can be part of the menu.
The process

- Ask us whether your date is available.
- We agree a hatch menu and send a quote.
- The spot and the way in are agreed in advance.
- We drive in, open the hatch and serve your guests.
- After service, we close up and leave the spot clear.
