Food truck hire in Swinford
About our food truck hire in Swinford
Food truck hire means our truck or trailer is booked for your guests only. It is a private booking, not public trading, so we plan the menu and service times around you. Popular choices include burrito bowls, fresh salsas and guacamole and tacos from the hatch, which works well for retirement parties and launch events.
In a small place like Swinford, 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. You can book food, drinks or both, so one caterer can cover more of the day.

Should I do it myself?
Some hosts like to do it themselves. Common snags are cold tortillas, uneven quantities and the host missing the party. If you’d rather enjoy the party, let us serve.
Doing it yourself saves money, but the host ends up in the kitchen. Booking a caterer means you can relax with everyone else.
Questions from Swinford
Will you travel to a small place like Swinford?
Yes, we cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Let us know about access and parking for the truck or trailer.
Can you cater a reception after a service at Church of St Leonard?
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 will check the access.
Do you have options for kids?
Of course. Mild dishes, quesadillas and nachos can be part of the menu. Include children in your numbers.
Is there a minimum number of guests?
It depends on the menu and how long service runs, but our truck and trailer service usually suits around 50 to 400 guests. Tell us your numbers and we’ll advise.
How spicy is the food?
We can keep it mild, and hotter salsas go on the side for guests who like heat.
Do you provide plates and napkins?
Ask us when you enquire. Tell us what your venue provides, and we’ll confirm what’s included with your quote.
What does it cost to hire the truck?
We quote for every hire, based on guest numbers, the menu, the location and service times. For a price, send us your details through our quote form.
