Food truck hire for your event in Upham
Everyone orders at the hatch and gets food cooked to order. It is simple, quick and sociable. It works well for leaving parties and family reunions, with burrito bowls, vegan tacos and loaded nachos.
Somewhere as small as Upham, food truck hire can mean a garden, a field or a barn. Lanes, gates and long drives are fine if we know about them. Soft ground after rain is worth mentioning too. Your quote sets out what’s included: menu, timings and any add-ons.
Space, access and the venue
Everything is served from our truck or trailer, so where we park matters. Here’s what we look for:
- Parking arrangements if we’re not on private land
- A clear area for a queue at the hatch
- The venue’s or landowner’s permission for a food truck
If you’re unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think.
Planners, venues and businesses
Venues often have their own rules about outside caterers: where vehicles can park, access times and the paperwork they need. Send us your venue’s requirements and we will follow them.
Planners and coordinators can contact us directly, and we will keep you updated on timings and set-up.
Dietary needs and planning tips
Mixed diets are straightforward to plan for, because guests can choose what suits them. Here are a few tips for planning:
- Confirm the venue accepts outside caterers and vehicles
- Look into parking permissions if the truck can’t go off-road
- Tell us how many children are coming
- Plan a covered area for guests to eat
If your timings move, let us know, and we’ll work around it.
Margaritas, Mexican beer and aguas frescas from our drinks bar can be added to the booking, with licensing checked with you.

Should I do it myself?
A DIY taco night works well for a small group. For larger numbers, mixed diets or a wedding, a caterer takes the pressure off, and handles allergen information for you.
A DIY taco night is possible for a crowd, but it’s more work than it looks. There are fillings to slow-cook, tortillas to keep warm and salsas to make. Read our guide to taco bars.

Mixed diets are easy to plan, since gluten-free, dairy-free, vegetarian and vegan choices come from the same hatch.

Food truck hire or something else?

How it works
The truck or trailer needs a level, firm spot with access to drive in, and we agree power and water arrangements before the day. A photo of the space helps. A hired food truck at a summer event in Upham can serve in daylight until about 9:25pm at midsummer, and by late September sunset is about 7:10pm. For winter events, dark by about 4:00pm, plan lighting where guests queue at the hatch.
- First come the basics: date, location, numbers and diets.
- We suggest a menu for the hatch and quote for it.
- Before the day, we agree the spot, the way in, power and water.
- Your guests order at the hatch and we serve hot food at the agreed times.
- After service, we close the hatch, pack down and drive away.
Getting ready for the day
- Arrange somewhere covered for guests to eat
- Confirm numbers and diets before the day
- Tell us about narrow gates or low branches
