How our food truck hire works in Westwood
Service is planned around your timings: a set lunch hour, an evening slot or a few hours through a party. Let us know your running order. At end-of-year parties and parties in venue grounds, we can serve fresh salsas and guacamole, loaded nachos and quesadillas for your guests.
Hire our food truck for an event near Westwood and the kitchen comes with it; we just need level ground, access and the venue’s permission. We prepare everything fresh for your event and serve it straight from our truck or trailer.
What we need at the venue
Access is the first thing to check for a truck or trailer. We need:
- A clear area for a queue at the hatch
- Level, solid ground for the vehicle
- Somewhere for guests to sit or stand and eat

The process
We get there well before you want to serve, then set up and prepare everything. Guests come up to order when service opens. At midsummer, it stays light in Westwood until about 9:15pm, while late September brings sunset forward to around 7:00pm. In December it is dark by about 3:50pm, so the queue by the hatch needs lighting.
- Tell us the date, the location, rough numbers and any diets.
- We check availability and send a menu and a quote for hiring the truck or trailer.
- Where the truck or trailer will stand, the route in, and power and water are all agreed in advance.
- We arrive, open the hatch and cook to order for your guests.
- Once guests are fed, we clear our area and head off.
Preparing for the day
- Choose a level, firm spot for the truck or trailer
- Give us your final numbers and diets
- Confirm the venue allows outside caterers
