How our food truck hire works in Staplefield
When you hire our food truck, it serves your guests and nobody else. It’s a private booking, not public trading, so we plan the menu and service times around you. It works well for summer parties at home and family reunions, with vegan tacos, quesadillas and tacos from the hatch.
In a hamlet or village like Staplefield, our truck or trailer can serve a private party or a team day in a field or garden. Guests queue at the hatch, so have some cover ready in case of rain. You will know what’s included before you book: menu, timings and any add-ons.

What affects the price in Staplefield
Each event is quoted on its own, and the price depends on a few things:
- Adding food to drinks, or drinks to food
- The menu you choose
- Guest numbers
- Plates, napkins and cutlery
There’s no one-size-fits-all price for food truck hire. A simple party menu and a full wedding day are very different jobs. Contact us for a quote.

Staplefield: your questions answered
Can you cater a reception after a service at Church of St Mark?
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’ll check the access.
Will you travel to a small place like Staplefield?
Yes, we cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Let us know about access and parking for the truck or trailer.
How long are you on site?
We get there well before service to set up. The length of service is agreed when you book.
How much is food truck hire?
We do not publish set prices, because each hire is different. Tell us your plans and we’ll quote for your event. See the Mexican catering cost guide for background.
Can guests build their own tacos?
Yes. A build-your-own taco bar can be served from the truck or a serving station, with fillings, salsas and toppings to choose from. Read our taco bar guide.
Is private hire the same as trading at a festival?
Private hire means we serve only your guests, on a menu and timings agreed with you. Festival and market trading is open to the public.
What do you need at the venue?
Access and level ground matter most: a level spot to park, space for guests to queue and a little room for a serving table. Send us a picture and tell us about gates, slopes and soft ground.
Can you cater for special diets?
We plan for diets before the day, though we can’t guarantee there are no traces of any allergen. Guests with severe allergies should talk to us first.
What happens on the day
When we arrive, we position the truck or trailer and get the serving area ready. We’re ready to serve at the agreed time, so everything runs to your schedule. Late-September events in Staplefield see sunset at about 7:05pm, so evening service from the truck may run past dusk. In late May, daylight lasts until about 8:50pm.
- Tell us the date, the location, rough numbers and any diets.
- You get a hatch menu and a quote for the hire.
- We confirm the parking spot, access, power and water with you or the venue.
- 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.
Preparing for the day
- Tell us when you want service to start
- Give us a contact for the day
- Send us final numbers and dietary needs in good time

You can host your own taco night for a crowd, but it takes planning. There are fillings to slow-cook, tortillas to keep warm and salsas to make. Our taco bar guide explains how.
Planners, venues and businesses
If you are planning an event on someone’s behalf, such as a wedding planner, an office manager or a festival organiser, we’ll work directly with you and the venue. It keeps things simple.
