About our food truck hire in Thedden
Fillings might include carnitas, al pastor-style pork or chicken tinga, alongside a vegan option such as spiced mushroom. There are options for vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and dairy-free guests. On the menu are tacos from the hatch, burrito bowls and vegan tacos, which works well for garden parties and leaving dos and retirements.
In a small place like Thedden, a hired food truck might park in a garden, paddock or field. Tell us about narrow lanes, gates and long drives. Soft ground after rain is worth mentioning too. Access, space and power are agreed with you beforehand, so there are no surprises on arrival.
DIY taco night or a caterer?
You can set up your own drinks table, but someone has to serve all evening. See our margarita bar guide.
A DIY taco night works well for a small group. For big numbers or lots of diets, a caterer makes life easier, and handles allergen information for you.
Before you choose a spot
We will agree the spot with you before the day. A good spot ticks these boxes:
- A way in wide and high enough for the vehicle
- A place for guests to eat close to the hatch
- Distance from houses and windows
If you’re unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think before booking.
Step by step
Guests tend to gather around the truck, so we will help you choose a spot with room for a queue. Rain doesn’t typically stop us serving, though guests will want somewhere covered to stand or sit. A hired food truck at a summer event in Thedden can serve in daylight until about 9:25pm at midsummer, while late September brings sunset forward to around 7:10pm. For winter events, dark by about 4:00pm, plan lighting where guests queue at the hatch.
- Tell us what the event is and who’s coming.
- Together we plan dishes that cover your guests’ diets.
- We check power, water and timings with the venue.
- The truck serves at the agreed times.
- Once service ends, we tidy up and go.

Comparing your options
Most guests have seen a burger van. Tacos and burritos from a truck feel different while staying easy to eat. Cost depends on guest numbers, the menu and the length of service, plus any add-ons and the location. We quote for each event individually.

Thedden: your questions answered
Is Thedden close to London?
It’s about 47 miles from central London, and inside the area we cover.
Do you hire out your food truck for parties in places like Thedden?
Yes, depending on the date. For a private or work event in a village or hamlet, the main thing is access: tell us about the lane, the gate and the ground.
Is private hire the same as trading at a festival?
A private hire is booked and quoted for you, so we do not serve passers-by. Organisers wanting us to trade at their event can see our festival page.
How far ahead should we book?
The sooner the better. Popular dates go first, so get in touch early.
Do you offer a bar with the truck?
We bring bar staff with the drinks bar and alcohol-free choices. We will talk through licensing first.
Are plates and napkins included?
We confirm that with your quote. Let us know what the venue supplies and we’ll talk it through.
Can you cater in a back garden?
Yes, as long as there is access and a level, firm spot. Send us a picture of the access and the space.
Is the food very hot?
That is your choice: we can keep it mild and put the hotter salsas on the side.
