Food truck hire in Thong, from our truck or trailer
Guests walk up to the hatch, order and take their food away hot. It is simple, quick and sociable. At engagements and anniversaries and leaving dos and retirements, we can serve burrito bowls, vegan tacos and burritos.
For a rural spot like Thong, food truck hire needs a little planning: 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. Timings are planned around your event, whether that’s speeches, a lunch break or a festival schedule.
Thong questions
Is it possible to have you in Shorne Woods Country Park?
It depends on the park’s owner, who would need to agree to a catering vehicle on site. Ask them first; if they say yes, we’ll send what they need from us.
Can we hire your food truck for a private party in Thong?
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.
What happens if it rains?
We can serve from the hatch in the rain. Plan cover for guests, such as a marquee or gazebo, and tell us if heavy rain could make the ground soft.
Is the food suitable for children?
Yes, children are welcome. Let us know numbers and ages, and we will suggest mild options.
Can you keep it mild?
That is your choice: we can keep it mild and put the hotter salsas on the side. Read more about how spicy Mexican food is.
Do you do a taco bar?
Yes. We can set up a build-your-own taco bar, served from the truck or a serving table, with fillings, salsas, guacamole and toppings. Read our taco bar guide.
Where do you cater?

What else we do in Thong
Where the truck can go in Thong
Before the day, we’ll agree where we park and serve. A good spot ticks these boxes:
- Power and water details confirmed in advance
- Space in front of the hatch for guests to queue
- Enough width and height on the route in
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and the access, and we’ll advise before booking.
What happens on the day
The truck or trailer tends to draw a crowd, so we will help you choose a spot with room for a queue. We can serve in the rain, but guests will need somewhere covered. Late-September events in Thong see sunset at about 7:00pm, so evening service from the truck may run past dusk. A late-May event keeps its light until roughly 8:50pm.
- 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.
- Service runs at the times you choose.
- Once service ends, we tidy up and go.
Preparing for the day
- Arrange somewhere covered for guests to eat
- Confirm numbers and diets before the day
- Have level hardstanding or firm ground ready
Ask for a quote
Not sure what you need yet? That is fine: tell us about the occasion and the guests, and we’ll suggest a menu. To start, send us your details through our quote form.
Planning help
Catering for every guest
A little planning makes sure everyone can eat. Here’s how:
- Ask guests about dietary needs when they reply
- Send allergy details in writing
- Check early that your venue allows food trucks
- Think about cover if the weather turns
Wet weather does not close the hatch, but guests will want a covered area to eat.
Simple quesadillas suit younger guests, if you’d like a kids’ choice.
Why choose food truck hire in Thong?
Nothing is needed from a venue kitchen, which opens up gardens, fields and car parks.
