About our food truck hire in Stroud
We cook inside our food truck or trailer, so your venue doesn’t need a kitchen. We need a level spot, safe access and the venue’s permission. Popular choices include vegan tacos, loaded nachos and burritos, and it is a good fit for wedding evening food and christenings and family parties.
In a small place like Stroud, a hired food truck might park in a garden, paddock or field. Lanes, gates and long drives are fine if we know about them. Firm ground matters, especially after rain. We arrive ready to serve, and clear our own area when service is finished.

Questions from Stroud
We are having a ceremony at Stroud Mission Church: can you cater afterwards?
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.
What’s the nearest station to Stroud for guests?
Guests can use Petersfield station, about 1.3 miles east of Stroud.
What about power on site?
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 will park.
What’s on the menu?
Every menu is agreed with you. Fillings might include chicken tinga, pork carnitas, al pastor-style pork and vegan options like black beans. See our menu for ideas.
Do you do food truck hire for weddings?
The truck or trailer can serve the wedding breakfast, evening food or both. Timings are agreed with you and your venue. See our food truck wedding guide.
How far ahead should we book?
The sooner the better. Peak dates go quickly, so contact us early.
Can you serve in the rain?
Rain does not generally stop service from the truck or trailer. It is worth planning a covered area for guests, and let us know if the ground gets soft after heavy rain.
Is the food very hot?
It is up to you: we can keep it mild and put the hotter salsas on the side.
