Food truck hire for Swalecliffe events
About our food truck hire in Swalecliffe
We serve when you want us to: a lunchtime window, an evening service or a longer slot through a party. Tell us when guests should eat and we will plan around it. On the menu are loaded nachos, quesadillas and tacos from the hatch, and it is a good fit for engagements and anniversaries and family reunions.
For a place the size of Swalecliffe, food truck hire at your own home is often simplest: no venue hire, and guests order at the hatch. Tell us about the lane and the drive. We’ll check the space, access and power with you before the day, so set-up goes smoothly.

- Parking and the route in
- Guest numbers

You do not need everything decided to ask for a quote, but these help:
- What power and water the site has
- Gate widths, slopes and the ground
- The date and time of the event
- Roughly how many adults and children
A detailed enquiry gets a more accurate quote: the venue, the timings, food or drinks or both, and the access. When you’re ready, fill in our quote form.
Common questions in Swalecliffe
Can you cater a reception after a service at Church of St John the Baptist?
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.
How far is Swalecliffe from central London?
It’s about 51 miles from central London, and inside the area we cover.
Do you need power and water?
It depends on the event and the set-up, and we agree power and water with you before the day. Tell us what’s available at your venue.
Do you bring plates and cutlery?
Ask us when you enquire. Let us know what you already have, and we will confirm what’s included with your quote.
What guest numbers do you cater for?
Hiring the truck or trailer usually suits around 50 to 400 guests. Smaller gatherings are looked at case by case.
Do you cater for coeliacs?
Yes, we offer gluten-free options, using corn tortillas. Let us know about coeliac guests in advance so we can talk through how their food is prepared.
How much does food truck hire cost in Swalecliffe?
We quote for each event, based on what you actually need. Tell us your date and numbers for a clear quote.
Do you give allergen information?
We plan allergen-aware menus, including for nut allergies, and give allergen information for every dish. We plan carefully and keep options separate, though we can’t promise a dish is allergen-free. Guests with severe allergies should talk to us before the event.
