Food truck hire in Swanton
Food truck hire in Swanton, served fresh
We serve when you want us to: a set lunch hour, an evening slot or a few hours through a party. Let us know your running order. For engagements and anniversaries and summer parties at home, we can serve quesadillas, vegan tacos and tacos from the hatch and more.
Somewhere as small as Swanton, food truck hire can mean a garden, a field or a barn. Tell us about narrow lanes, gates and long drives. Soft ground after rain is worth mentioning too. We turn up ready to serve, and tidy our own area afterwards.

Swanton questions
Could you serve our guests after a service at Church of St Dunstan?
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.
Do you come out to small places like Swanton?
Yes, small places are no problem, given access. Tell us about lanes, gates, ground and parking.
Is the food made fresh?
We slow-cook fillings ahead, then finish them and keep them hot at your event. The tortillas are warmed on site, and the salsas and guacamole are made fresh.
Do you give allergen information?
Our menus are planned with allergies in mind, nut allergies included, 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.
How long are you on site?
It depends on your event. We agree arrival, service and pack-down times with you so everything fits your schedule.
How much does food truck hire cost in Swanton?
The price depends on numbers, menu, service time and where your event is. Contact us for a quote.
Can you do gluten-free food?
We can, using corn tortillas. Corn tortillas are naturally gluten-free, but some fillings, sauces and toppings may not be, so we plan gluten-free dishes carefully and give allergen information.
How does private food truck hire work?
You hire the truck or trailer for agreed service times. We cook to order, serve from the hatch and pack down afterwards.
Why choose food truck hire in Swanton?
It is relaxed for guests and easy for hosts, because we cook, serve and clear away.

Popular choices
Tacos from the hatch
Warm tortillas filled to order and finished with salsa, with fillings such as carnitas, chicken tinga or spiced mushroom.
Loaded nachos
Nachos are good for sharing between friends.
DIY taco night or a caterer?
For a small group, a taco night at home can work well. For larger numbers, mixed diets or a wedding, a caterer takes the pressure off, with allergen information for every dish.
Not sure whether to do it yourself or book a caterer? Consider your numbers, your guests’ diets and your own time. Ask us for a quote and compare.
What we need at the venue
If a space isn’t suitable, we will tell you, and suggest an alternative. What matters most:
- Power and water details confirmed in advance
- A spot away from neighbours
- A clear area for a queue at the hatch
If you’re unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think before booking.
How it works
On the day, we park the truck or trailer in the agreed spot and set up. We are ready to serve at the agreed time, planned around your event. A hired food truck at a summer event in Swanton can serve in daylight until about 9:20pm at midsummer, and by late September sunset is about 7:00pm. In December it is dark by about 3:55pm, so the queue by the hatch needs lighting.
- Send us your date, the address, a headcount and dietary needs.
- You get a hatch menu and a quote for the hire.
- Where the truck or trailer will stand, the route in, and power and water are all agreed in advance.
- On the day we drive in, set up and serve to order from the hatch.
- When service ends, we pack up and leave the spot clear.
Preparing for the day
- Let us know the timings for the day
- Have a marquee or gazebo ready in case of rain
- Confirm numbers and diets before the day
