Food truck hire for your event in Whetsted
Food truck hire means our food truck or trailer is booked for your guests only. It’s a private booking, not public trading, so we plan the menu and service times around you. It works well for parties in venue grounds and christenings and family parties, serving quesadillas, burritos and burrito bowls.
Somewhere as small as Whetsted, food truck hire can mean a garden, a field or a barn. Lanes, gates and long drives are fine if we know about them. Firm ground matters, especially after rain. Every guest is catered for, gluten-free, dairy-free, vegetarian and vegan included, and we give allergen information for every dish.
Diets, allergies and planning
Every guest is catered for, vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and dairy-free included. To get it right:
- Tell us how many children are coming
- Let us know who is coeliac
- Check early that your venue allows food trucks
- Email us any allergies
We drive in at the agreed time and park in the planned spot. It helps if someone can meet us on arrival.
Ask about a second service later in the evening.

Other catering in Whetsted
Before you choose a spot
We’ll be honest if a space won’t work, and suggest an alternative. What matters most:
- Somewhere for guests to sit or stand and eat
- The venue’s or landowner’s permission for a food truck
- Room for guests to gather at the hatch
If you are unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think.
The process
We get there well before you want to serve, set up the truck or trailer and get everything ready. When service opens, guests come up to the hatch or serving table. Late-September events in Whetsted see sunset at about 7:00pm, so a later service will need some lighting. A late-May event keeps its light until roughly 8:50pm.
- Check our availability for your date.
- You get a menu for the hatch and a quote.
- We confirm the parking spot and the route in.
- We drive in, open the hatch and serve your guests.
- We pack down and drive away when service ends.
How to prepare
- Arrange somewhere covered for guests to eat
- Give us a contact for the day
- Pick a flat, firm spot for us to park
