As a guide, hiring the truck or trailer suits around 50 to 400 guests. Smaller gatherings are looked at case by case. Popular choices include fresh salsas and guacamole, quesadillas and vegan tacos, and it is a good fit for engagement parties and private outdoor parties.
Near Westridge, a hired food truck in a field or garden suits private parties and work away days alike. Guests queue at the hatch, so have some cover ready in case of rain. 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.

Who books food truck hire in Westridge?
You do not need a kitchen, which opens up gardens, fields and car parks with the venue’s agreement.
If you are planning any of these, we can help:
- Private outdoor parties
- Launch events
- Retirement parties
- Company away days
Nearby historic houses include Nunwell House (2.1 miles south) and Morton Manor (2.7 miles south). Listed venues often control where vehicles go, so raise food truck hire at your first visit.
Before you book anyone
- What the caterer needs from your venue
- The caterer’s food hygiene rating
- How many staff are serving, and for how long
- What the price includes, item by item
Before you choose a spot
Access is the first thing to check for a truck or trailer. We need:
- Arrangements for power and water, agreed when you book
- Level, solid ground for the vehicle
- A place for guests to eat close to the hatch
Out-of-the-way places like Westridge take a little more planning, so let us know about tracks, gates and power in good time.
Not sure about your space? Send us a photo and we will tell you honestly before booking.
Should I do it myself?
A DIY taco night is possible for a crowd, but it is more work than it looks. There are fillings to slow-cook, tortillas to keep warm and salsas to make. Our taco bar guide explains how.
Doing it yourself saves money, but the host ends up in the kitchen. Booking a caterer means you can relax with everyone else.
How the day works
Serving is quick: we serve from the hatch or a serving station, so even a long queue moves. Afterwards we clear our area. A hired food truck at a summer event in Westridge can serve in daylight until about 9:20pm at midsummer, while late September brings sunset forward to around 7:10pm. For winter events, dark by about 4:00pm, plan lighting where guests queue at the hatch.
- Ask us whether your date is available.
- You get a menu for the hatch and a quote.
- We confirm the parking spot and the route in.
- On the day, guests order at the hatch and we cook to order.
- After service, we close up and leave the spot clear.
Preparing for the day
- Ask the venue about power and water
- Confirm numbers and diets before the day
- Get the venue’s permission for us to park and serve

How it compares
Plated catering needs a kitchen tent, waiting staff and set courses. Our food truck or trailer brings the kitchen and serves from one hatch, needing level ground, access and the venue’s permission. There is no one-size-fits-all price for food truck hire. A short lunch service for a team is a different job from a full wedding day. Contact us for a quote.

FAQs for Westridge
Could we book your food truck for a private event in Westridge?
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.
We are having a ceremony at St John's Church: can you cater afterwards?
Yes, at a garden, field or venue nearby where the truck or trailer can park. Service would be at the reception venue, not the church. Tell us where the reception will be.
How many guests can you serve?
Our truck and trailer service generally suits events of around 50 to 400 guests. Smaller parties are quoted case by case, and festivals can be larger. Send us your numbers and we’ll advise.
Can you cater for special diets?
We plan for diets before the day, but we can’t promise an allergen-free kitchen. Anyone with a severe allergy should contact us before the event.
Do you provide drinks?
Yes, we do. Our drinks bar can be booked on its own or with food. We will check the licensing for alcohol with you.
What does hiring your food truck involve?
You book the truck or trailer for set hours at your event. We cook to order, serve from the hatch and pack down afterwards.
How long are you on site?
It depends on your event. We agree arrival, service and pack-down times with you to suit your day.
Can you come to a private house?
That depends on access. If the truck or trailer cannot reach the garden, a drive or a spot nearby may work, with permission. Send us a photo and we’ll talk it through.
