Around Stanhope, a hired food truck can serve in a garden, a field or a hall car park. Narrow roads and soft ground are fine if we know about them. Every guest is catered for, vegan, vegetarian, dairy-free and gluten-free included, and we give allergen information for every dish.

FAQs for Stanhope
Which station should guests use for Stanhope?
Guests can use Ashford International station, about 1.2 miles north-east of Stanhope.
We are having a ceremony at St. Francis: can you cater afterwards?
Yes. The church itself is not where we’d set up, but a hall, field or garden close by with room for the truck or trailer can work well. Let us know the reception address and we will check the access.
What food and drinks do you offer?
Mexican street food: tacos, taco bars, burritos, bowls, nachos and quesadillas, with salsas, guacamole and toppings. We also run a Mexican drinks bar, with margaritas, Mexican beer and aguas frescas.
Do you do food truck hire for weddings?
We can serve from the truck for the wedding meal, the evening or both. Timings are agreed with you and your venue. Read more in having a food truck at a wedding.
Do you have options for kids?
Of course. Mild dishes, quesadillas and nachos can be part of the menu. Include children in your numbers.
Can you cater for vegetarians and vegans?
Yes. We can include vegetarian and vegan fillings like black beans or spiced mushrooms.
How many guests can you serve?
Truck and trailer service normally suits around 50 to 400 guests. Smaller parties are quoted case by case, and festivals can be larger. Tell us your numbers.
Do you need power and water?
That depends on the set-up, so we confirm power and water arrangements with each booking. Let us know whether there is a supply near where we’ll park.
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 anything containing allergens.
DIY catering keeps costs down, but the host spends the party serving. With a caterer, you get the food and drinks without the work.

- Launch events
- Winter staff parties

Where the truck can go in Stanhope
If a space is not suitable, we’ll tell you. The main points are:
- Gate widths, overhead branches and soft ground checked in advance
- Seating or standing room near the truck
- Power and water details confirmed in advance
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and the access, and we’ll advise.
For planners, venues and organisers
For larger events, we plan serving points around your timings, so guests are looked after quickly. Tell us how long you have for food and drinks.
Venues often have their own rules about outside caterers: vehicle access, arrival times and documents. Tell us what your venue needs and we will work to it.
Is food truck hire right for your event?
A marquee kitchen with plated service needs more space, more staff and more time. Our truck or trailer brings the kitchen and serves from one hatch, needing level ground, access and the venue’s permission. If you have a budget in mind, tell us, and we will suggest a menu that fits. Even a simple menu can feel generous.

The process

- We confirm the parking spot and the route in.
- On the day, guests order at the hatch and we cook to order.
