Food truck hire in Spring Vale
Food truck hire in Spring Vale, served fresh
When you hire our food truck, it serves your guests and nobody else. Unlike a stall at a festival or market, it’s a private hire, so we plan the menu and service times around you. On the menu are quesadillas, burritos and tacos from the hatch, and it suits leaving parties and private outdoor parties.
Somewhere as small as Spring Vale, food truck hire can mean a garden, a field or a barn. Lanes, gates and long drives are fine if we know about them. Soft ground after rain is worth mentioning too. We serve from the hatch of our truck or trailer, or from a serving station, and we plan service so the queue keeps moving.

Planning the serving area
Plenty of outdoor spaces and venues work for us, but there are a few things to check:
- The venue’s or landowner’s permission for a food truck
- Space in front of the hatch for guests to queue
- A way in wide and high enough for the vehicle
Out-of-the-way places like Spring Vale take a little more planning, so let us know about tracks, gates and power in good time.
If you are unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think.
Prices and what affects them
We quote for your event, which reflects:
- The menu you choose
- The number of people
- Whether you add a drinks bar or food
- Timings and hours
Cost depends on guest numbers, the menu and the length of service, plus any add-ons and the location. We quote for each event individually.
Details that help
We can quote more accurately with a few details. Here’s what’s useful:
- Gate widths, slopes and the ground
- Approximate guest numbers, including children
- Your date and when you want service to start
- Your menu ideas
It’s easy to get a price: share your date, venue, numbers and diets. We’ll come back with a clear quote.
FAQs for Spring Vale
Can you cater a reception after a service at St. Peter's Church?
Yes, at a nearby garden, marquee or hall with access for the truck or trailer. Service would be at the reception venue, not the church. Tell us where the reception will be.
Do you come out to small places like Spring Vale?
Yes, we cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about lanes, gates, ground and parking.
Can you cater for guests who avoid dairy?
Yes, on request. Tell us how many guests need dairy-free food, and we will plan the menu around them.
Can guests build their own tacos?
Yes, a taco bar is one of the ways we serve. Let us know your numbers and space and we’ll suggest the best set-up.
Is private hire the same as trading at a festival?
A private hire is booked and quoted for you, and we don’t sell to the public. Organisers wanting us to trade at their event can see our festival page.
Do you do parties at home?
That depends on access. If the truck or trailer can’t reach the garden, a drive or a spot nearby may work, with permission. Tell us about the space and we will advise.
Can you cater for children?
Yes, children are easy to plan for. Let us know numbers and ages, and we’ll suggest mild options.
What about vegan and gluten-free guests?
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.
Events we cater in Spring Vale
Diets are simple to plan for, with gluten-free, dairy-free, vegetarian and vegan options from the same hatch.
Almost any gathering can work with a truck or trailer. People in Spring Vale can book us for events such as:

- Wedding receptions
- Parties in venue grounds

What happens on the day
It is a relaxed, well-organised set-up. Arrival and serving times are agreed beforehand, get the serving area ready, and serve without fuss. A Christmas party in Spring Vale with a hired food truck will be in the dark from about 4:00pm, so choose a well-lit spot for the truck or trailer. In late June, it stays light until about 9:20pm.
- Share your plans for the event.
- We suggest fillings and dishes for every diet.
- We check power, water and timings with the venue.
- Service runs at the times you choose.
- Once service ends, we tidy up and go.
Preparing for the day
- Ask the venue about power and water
- Tell us about narrow gates or low branches
- Check the venue is happy to have a truck or trailer on site

Why us?
- Quick, friendly service from the hatch
- A menu built around your guests
- Allergen-aware menus

DIY taco night or a caterer?
For a small group, a taco night at home can work well. For larger numbers, mixed diets or a wedding, a caterer takes the pressure off, with allergen information for every dish.
Some hosts like to do it themselves. 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.
