Food truck hire for your event in Upper Wellingham
Food truck hire suits weddings, milestone birthdays and staff events, and any gathering where guests want hot food without a sit-down meal. It suits leaving parties and end-of-year celebrations, serving vegan tacos, fresh salsas and guacamole and loaded nachos.
Somewhere as small as Upper Wellingham, food truck hire can mean a garden, a field or a barn. Tell us about narrow lanes, gates and long drives. Firm ground matters, especially after rain. Guests are served from our truck or trailer, or from a serving table nearby, and we plan service so the queue keeps moving.

DIY taco night or a caterer?
Plenty of people try a DIY taco night at home. The usual problems are cold tortillas, running out of a popular filling and a host stuck at the stove. If you’d rather enjoy the party, let us serve.
A DIY taco night works well for a small group. For big numbers or lots of diets, a caterer makes life easier, and handles allergen information for you.

Questions from Upper Wellingham
Could we book your food truck for a private event in Upper Wellingham?
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.
Will you travel to a small place like Upper Wellingham?
Yes, small places are no problem, given access. Let us know about access and parking for the truck or trailer.
Can we hire a bar too?
Our Mexican drinks bar can be added to a truck booking, serving margaritas, Mexican beer, aguas frescas and soft drinks. Licensing is checked with you.
Do you cater for dietary needs?
Diets are planned with you in advance, though we can’t guarantee there are no traces of any allergen. Anyone with a severe allergy should contact us before the event.
What do you need at the venue?
Send us the address and a description of the spot, and we will check it works. There is more in our space and power guide.
Do you take everything away?
Our area is packed away and left tidy. Tell us the venue’s rules on waste and clearing up and we will confirm the arrangements with your quote.
How far ahead should we book?
As early as you can, especially for summer weekends. Even if it’s short notice, it is worth asking.
Do you give allergen information?
Yes. Tell us about allergies when you book. Under UK rules, caterers must give information on 14 allergens, and we give it for every dish (Food Standards Agency guidance). For severe allergies, please talk to us first.
Organising for someone else?
Planners and coordinators can contact us directly, and we will keep everyone informed on the day.
If your event is in a public space, such as a park, check what permission you need first. We’ll provide the information the landowner or council asks for from us.
