Food truck hire in Upper Kingston
How our food truck hire works in Upper Kingston
The truck or trailer is a working kitchen on wheels, so your venue does not need a kitchen. We need a level spot, safe access and the venue’s permission. We serve quesadillas, burrito bowls and vegan tacos, and it suits private parties in fields and grounds and weddings.
Somewhere as small as Upper Kingston, 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. Food and drinks can be booked together or separately, so the food and drinks can come from one caterer.
Your questions about food truck hire in Upper Kingston
We’re having a ceremony at Trinity Congregational Church: can you cater afterwards?
Yes. The church itself is not 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’ll check the access.
Do you cater in the New Forest National Park?
Yes. Some venues there have rules about vehicles, ground and catering, so check with yours. We will follow the site rules.
Do you do a taco bar?
Yes. A build-your-own taco bar can be served from the truck or a serving station, with fillings, salsas, guacamole and toppings. Read our taco bar guide.
Do you have vegan options?
Yes, and we plan them in from the start. Tell us your numbers when you ask for a quote, and we’ll keep their options separate.
How does food truck hire work?
Our food truck or trailer comes to your venue and serves your guests from the hatch. Only your guests are served.
How many guests can you serve?
It depends on the menu and how long service runs, but around 50 to 400 guests is the usual range. Tell us your numbers and we’ll advise.
What about vegan and gluten-free guests?
We plan for diets before the day, though we can’t guarantee there are no traces of any allergen. Guests with severe allergies should talk to us first.
What if the weather’s bad?
We can serve from the hatch in the rain. Plan cover for guests, such as a marquee or gazebo, and let us know if the ground gets soft after heavy rain.

Planning for every diet
Dietary needs are easy to plan for with a little notice. Our advice:

- Agree service times with us
- Send allergy details in writing
At the end of service, we close the hatch and pack down and drive off quietly.
Quesadillas make an easy option for children.
What affects the price in Upper Kingston
The price comes down to a few factors:
- How many staff you need
- Plates, napkins and cutlery
- Food, drinks or both
- Distance and access to the venue
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.
Getting an accurate quote
For a quote, it helps to have:
- Approximate guest numbers, including children
- Vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free, dairy-free and allergy numbers
- Gate widths, slopes and the ground
- The date and time of the event
We need only a few details to quote: date, location, guest numbers and diets. To send them, tell us about it on our contact page.
For planners, venues and organisers
If you are planning an event on someone’s behalf, whether you’re a planner, an office manager or an event organiser, we are happy to deal with you and the venue directly. It saves passing messages back and forth.
