Food truck hire in Upper Farringdon, served fresh
The truck or trailer is a working kitchen on wheels, so there is no need for kitchen space at the venue. What we do need is level ground, a way in and the venue’s agreement, with power and water confirmed per booking. At staff summer parties and wedding evening food, we will put together a menu of vegan tacos, burritos and fresh salsas and guacamole and more.
For a rural spot like Upper Farringdon, food truck hire needs a little planning: the gate, the ground and the distance from the lane. Power and water may be limited, so we confirm the arrangements before the day. We serve from the hatch of our truck or trailer, or from a serving station, and we plan the service around your numbers.
FAQs for Upper Farringdon
Could you serve our guests after a service at Church of All Saints?
Yes, at a garden, field or venue nearby where the truck or trailer can park. We’d serve at the reception venue rather than at the church itself. Send us the reception address.
What’s the nearest station to Upper Farringdon for guests?
The closest is Alton station, roughly 2.8 miles away.
How is the food prepared?
Fillings are slow-cooked in advance, then finished and kept hot on site. Tortillas are warmed on site, and salsas and guacamole are made fresh.
What does it cost to hire the truck?
We don’t publish set prices, because each hire is different. Tell us your plans and we’ll quote for your event. See the Mexican catering cost guide for background.
Do you cater for dietary needs?
We plan for diets before the day, but we cannot promise an allergen-free kitchen. Anyone with a severe allergy should contact us before the event.
Can you cater for children?
Yes, children are welcome. Let us know numbers and ages, and we’ll suggest mild options.
Can you run a bar?
Yes. The drinks bar can be added to food or booked on its own, with alcohol-free options such as aguas frescas. We will check the licensing for alcohol with you.
Can you do dairy-free food?
Yes, we can. Tell us how many guests need dairy-free food, and we’ll plan the menu around them.
How it works
Service is quick and friendly: we serve from the hatch or a serving station, so even a long queue moves. When service ends, we pack down. Planning a private evening event in Upper Farringdon?

DIY taco night or a caterer?
You can set up your own drinks table, but someone still has to mix, pour and keep an eye on it all evening. Our margarita bar guide has tips.
