How our food truck hire works in Widley
Food truck hire means our truck or trailer is booked for your guests only. Unlike a stall at a festival or market, it is a private hire, so the menu and timings are set around your event. We serve tacos from the hatch, fresh salsas and guacamole and vegan tacos, which works well for anniversary celebrations and family celebrations.
Near Widley, a hired food truck in a field or garden suits private parties and work away days alike. Guests order at the hatch, so plan a sheltered spot for the queue in case of rain. We plan the timings around your day, whether that is speeches, a lunch break or a festival schedule.
What’s on the menu
Burritos
Rice, beans, a filling and salsa wrapped in a big tortilla.
Loaded nachos
Tortilla chips with cheese, a filling, salsa and guacamole, for sharing.

How it works
Expect a friendly, organised team. We agree arrival and serving times in advance, get the serving area ready, and serve without fuss. December events in Widley lose the light at about 4:00pm, so ask the venue about outdoor lighting where we will park. At midsummer, sunset is around 9:20pm.
- 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.
Before we arrive
- Have a marquee or gazebo ready in case of rain
- Check gates and access routes are wide and high enough

Planning help
For planners, venues and organisers
Planners and coordinators can contact us directly, and we’ll keep you updated on timings and set-up.
Throwing a party at home? Send us a picture of the space and tell us about the drive and gates, and we will tell you honestly whether a truck or trailer will fit.
Catering for every guest
A little planning makes sure everyone can eat. Try these:
- Collect diets and allergies with your RSVPs
- Measure gates and look for low branches on the way in
- Count children separately
- Confirm the venue accepts outside caterers and vehicles
The hatch opens at the time you choose.
Our Mexican drinks bar, with margaritas, Mexican beer and aguas frescas can join the truck.
Your questions about food truck hire in Widley
Do you come out to small places like Widley?
Yes, small places are no problem, given access. Let us know about access and parking for the truck or trailer.
We are having a ceremony at Christ Church: can you cater afterwards?
Yes. The church itself isn’t where we’d set up, but a hall, field or garden close by with room for the truck or trailer can work well. Let us know the reception address and we’ll check the access.
What about vegan and gluten-free guests?
We plan gluten-free, dairy-free, vegetarian and vegan options, with corn tortillas for gluten-free guests. Every dish has allergen information.
Do you have options for kids?
Of course. We can keep dishes mild, and simple options such as quesadillas or nachos can be part of the menu. Tell us how many children are coming.
Can you plan for allergies?
We plan allergen-aware menus, including for nut allergies, with allergen information for every dish. We keep options separate, but we cannot promise anything is completely allergen-free. If a guest has a severe allergy, please talk to us before the event.
Do you cook on site?
We slow-cook fillings ahead, then finish them and keep them hot at your event. The tortillas are warmed on site, and the salsas and guacamole are made fresh.
Do you cater for vegetarian guests?
Of course. We can include vegetarian and vegan fillings like black beans or spiced mushrooms.
Is food truck hire good for weddings?
We can serve from the truck for the wedding meal, the evening or both. Timings are agreed with you and your venue. See our food truck wedding guide.
How we price food truck hire
Pricing is straightforward once we know the basics:
- How many guests we’re serving
- Plates, napkins and cutlery
- Travel, parking and access
- Adding food to drinks, or drinks to food
The cost per head can fall as numbers rise, because the set-up is similar for different sizes of event. Give us your numbers and we will quote.

- Expected numbers
- Any dietary needs and allergies

Space, access and the venue
Access is the first thing to check for a truck or trailer. We look for:
- Level, solid ground for the vehicle
- Some space between the truck and nearby homes
- Somewhere for guests to sit or stand and eat
If you’re unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think.

Can I do a taco night myself?
Doing it yourself? Start with the quantities: our guide to how many tacos per person helps. Keep tortillas warm in a covered basket, and label dishes for guests with allergies.
Not sure whether to do it yourself or book a caterer? Think about numbers, diets and how much you want to enjoy the day. Ask us for a quote and compare.
Is food truck hire right for your event?
A DIY barbecue keeps a host at the grill. With a hired truck, we do the cooking so you can join in. There’s 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.
