Food truck hire in Waterhall, from our food truck or trailer
A hired food truck works for weddings, birthdays and staff days, and any gathering where guests want hot food without a sit-down meal. It works well for wedding evening food and parties in venue grounds, serving vegan tacos, loaded nachos and burrito bowls.
In a rural place like Waterhall, access is the main thing to plan for a hired truck: gate widths, soft ground and the route from the road all matter. Power and water may be limited, so we confirm the arrangements before the day. We serve from the hatch of our food truck or trailer, or from a serving station, and we plan service so the queue keeps moving.

How it works
The truck or trailer needs a level, firm spot with access to drive in, with power and water arrangements agreed beforehand. A picture of the space helps. A Christmas party in Waterhall with a hired food truck will be in the dark from about 3:55pm, so ask the venue about outdoor lighting where we will park. At midsummer, sunset is around 9:20pm.
- First come the basics: date, location, numbers and diets.
- You get a hatch menu and a quote for the hire.
- Where the truck or trailer will stand, the route in, and power and water are all agreed in advance.
- On the day we drive in, set up and serve to order from the hatch.
- Once guests are fed, we clear our area and head off.
Getting ready for the day
- Get the venue’s permission for us to park and serve
- Tell us about narrow gates or low branches
- Find out what power and water are available
