Food truck hire in Stansted
Food truck hire in Stansted, from our food truck or trailer
We bring the truck or trailer to private and work events in and around Stansted, from gardens to venue grounds and business parks. It works well for staff appreciation days and end-of-year celebrations, with vegan tacos, burrito bowls and fresh salsas and guacamole.
Near Stansted, a hired food truck in a field or garden suits private parties and work away days alike. Guests order at the hatch, so plan a sheltered spot for the queue in case of rain. Your quote sets out what’s included: menu, timings and any add-ons.
Is food truck hire right for your event?
A marquee kitchen with plated service needs more space, more staff and more time. A food truck arrives as a kitchen and serves from the hatch, needing level ground, access and the venue’s permission. Access and travel can make a difference to the cost, so it helps to tell us about your venue. Your quote confirms the full price.

Space, access and the venue
Access is the first thing to check for a truck or trailer. We look for:
- Space in front of the hatch for guests to queue
- A place for guests to eat close to the hatch
- Agreement from the venue to bring in a catering vehicle
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and the access, and we’ll advise.
How it works
Expect a friendly, organised team. Arrival and serving times are agreed beforehand, get the serving area ready, and get on with serving. A hired food truck at a summer event in Stansted can serve in daylight until about 9:20pm at midsummer, while late September brings sunset forward to around 7:00pm. In December it is dark by about 3:50pm, so the queue by the hatch needs lighting.
- First come the basics: date, location, numbers and diets.
- We suggest a menu for the hatch and quote for it.
- 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.
- Once guests are fed, we clear our area and head off.
How to prepare
- Tell us what power and water the site has
- Check the venue is happy to have a truck or trailer on site
- Let us know who to talk to on the day

Stansted questions
Do you cater in villages like Stansted?
Yes. Villages and hamlets are part of our area, and the main thing is access: tell us about the lane, the gate and the ground.
Can you cater a reception after a service at Church of St Mary?
Yes. The church itself isn’t 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.
How spicy is the food?
That is your choice: we can keep it mild and put the hotter salsas on the side.
Is the truck suitable for a large group?
It depends on the event and how long service runs. Most bookings fall around 50 to 400 guests, so tell us your numbers.
Can you do dairy-free food?
Yes, on request. Let us know your dairy-free numbers, and we’ll include them in the plan.
Can you come to a private house?
Yes, if the truck or trailer can get in and park on level, firm ground. Send us a picture of the access and the space, and we’ll tell you honestly whether it works.
What does food truck hire cost?
It depends on guest numbers, the menu, the length of service and the location. Contact us for a quote.
Can guests build their own tacos?
Yes, a taco bar is one of our options. Let us know your numbers and space and we’ll suggest the best set-up.
Can I do a taco night myself?
Doing it yourself? Start with the quantities: our guide to how many tacos per person helps. Keep warmed tortillas covered, and label anything containing allergens.
For a small group, a taco night at home can work well. For big numbers or lots of diets, a caterer makes life easier, with allergen information for every dish.
