Food truck hire for Swallowfield events
Food truck hire in Swallowfield, served fresh
The truck or trailer is a working kitchen on wheels, so your venue doesn’t need a kitchen. We need a level spot, safe access and the venue’s permission. For staff summer parties and leaving dos and retirements, we will put together a menu of tacos from the hatch, vegan tacos and loaded nachos.
In a rural place like Swallowfield, access is the main thing to plan for a hired truck: gate widths, soft ground and the route from the road all matter. Power and water may be limited, so we confirm the arrangements before the day. We serve from the hatch of our food truck or trailer, or from a serving station, and we plan service so the queue keeps moving.

Events we cater in Swallowfield
It’s a private hire, so there are no public queues and the menu is set for your guests.
A truck or trailer works for big and small events alike. Common bookings include:
- Company away days
- Private parties in fields and grounds
- Family celebrations
- Back-garden parties
Parks such as Swallowfield Meadow typically need permission for vehicles and catering, so a garden or hired venue is often simpler.

Close to Swallowfield are historic houses such as Stratfield Saye House (2.6 miles south-west). If you’re hiring a historic venue, check early whether it allows a catering vehicle on site.

How the day works
The truck or trailer needs a level, firm spot with access to drive in, with power and water arrangements agreed beforehand. Send us a photo of the space if you are unsure. By late September, it is dark in Swallowfield at around 7:05pm, so a later service will need some lighting. In late May, daylight lasts until about 8:55pm.

Swallowfield: your questions answered
We’re having a ceremony at Church of All Saints: can you cater afterwards?
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’ll check the access.
What’s the nearest station to Swallowfield for guests?
Guests can use Mortimer station, about 3.3 miles west of Swallowfield.
Can you cater for guests who avoid dairy?
Yes, on request. Tell us how many guests need dairy-free food, and we will include them in the plan.
How much is food truck hire?
We quote for every hire, depending on numbers, menu, location and timings. For a price, send us your details through our quote form.
Who clears up?
We pack down and leave our area tidy. Tell us the venue’s rules on waste and clearing up and we’ll confirm the arrangements with your quote.
Do you give allergen information?
We plan allergen-aware menus, including for nut allergies, with allergen information for every dish. We plan carefully and keep options separate, though we can’t promise a dish is allergen-free. If a guest has a severe allergy, please talk to us before the event.
When should we book?
The sooner the better. Peak dates go quickly, so it pays to ask early.
Can we hire a bar too?
The drinks bar comes with bar staff. We will talk through licensing first.
Dietary needs and planning tips
Dietary needs are easy to plan for with a little notice. Our advice:
- Look into parking permissions if the truck can’t go off-road
- Check early that your venue allows food trucks
- Have shelter ready in case of rain
- Tell us about coeliac guests
Wet weather doesn’t close the hatch, but guests will want a covered area to eat.
Tell us what serveware you need and we will confirm the options in your quote.
