How our food truck hire works in Upper Upnor
Our drinks bar can be hired with the truck for margaritas, Mexican beer and aguas frescas, with licensing checked with you. We can add a taco-bar station next to the truck. At private parties in fields and grounds and engagements and anniversaries, we can serve vegan tacos, burritos and quesadillas for your guests.
Somewhere as small as Upper Upnor, 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. You will know what’s included before you book: menu, timings and any add-ons.

How it works
A typical event goes like this: we arrive and set up, we open the hatch when you’re ready, and we serve your guests fresh until service ends. December events in Upper Upnor lose the light at about 3:50pm, so ask the venue about outdoor lighting where we will park. In late June, it stays light until about 9:20pm.
- Tell us the date, the location, rough numbers and any diets.
- You get a hatch menu and a quote for the hire.
- Before the day, we agree the spot, the way in, power and water.
- On the day we drive in, set up and serve to order from the hatch.
- When service ends, we pack up and leave the spot clear.
Preparing for the day
- Send us final numbers and dietary needs in good time
- Choose a level, firm spot for the truck or trailer
- Get the venue’s permission for us to park and serve
Ask for a quote
We quote for each event separately, based on what you need. For a quote, send us your details through our quote form.

Questions from Upper Upnor
Can we hire your food truck for a private party in Upper Upnor?
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.
Could you serve in Lower Lines Park?
Only if the landowner, often the council, allows it. Check with them, and we will provide what they ask for from us.
Is the food very hot?
The food can be kept mild, and hotter salsas go on the side for guests who like heat.
Do you have gluten-free options?
Yes, we offer gluten-free options, made with corn tortillas. Tell us about any coeliac guests before the event so we can talk through how their food is prepared.
What if the weather’s bad?
The truck or trailer can serve in the rain, but your guests will want somewhere covered, such as a marquee, gazebo or nearby building.
Do you do margaritas?
Yes. The drinks bar can be added to food or booked on its own, with alcohol-free options such as aguas frescas. We’ll check the licensing for alcohol with you.
