Food truck hire for Wincheap events
Common questions in Wincheap
We are having a ceremony at Church of St Mildred: 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.
Could you serve in Whitehall Meadows?
Only if the landowner, often the council, allows it. Ask them first, and we’ll help with the information they need from us.
Is private hire the same as trading at a festival?
Private hire means we serve only your guests, on a menu and timings agreed with you. At festivals and markets we trade to the public; see our street food catering page.
Do you have gluten-free options?
Yes, with corn tortillas. Corn is naturally gluten-free, though some sauces and toppings can contain gluten, so we plan gluten-free dishes carefully and give allergen information.
Who clears up?
We pack down and leave our area tidy. Let us know the venue’s rules on waste and we will confirm the arrangements with your quote.
What does food truck hire cost?
Every event is quoted individually, based on what you actually need. Give us your date, numbers and menu ideas for a clear quote.
Do you need electricity?
That depends on the set-up, and we agree power and water with you before the day. Tell us what’s available at your venue.
Is the food made fresh?
Food is cooked to order in our truck or trailer, or served from a build-your-own taco bar. Fillings are slow-cooked beforehand and finished on site.
About our food truck hire in Wincheap
Our drinks bar can be hired with the truck for margaritas, Mexican beer and aguas frescas, with licensing checked with you. A build-your-own taco bar can sit beside the truck too. At garden parties and staff summer parties, we’ll put together a menu of quesadillas, fresh salsas and guacamole and loaded nachos.
In and around Wincheap, our truck or trailer can work at home, in a field or at a hall. Narrow roads and soft ground are fine if we know about them. Timings are planned around your event, whether that’s speeches, a lunch break or a festival schedule.

Catering for every guest
Allergies and diets are taken seriously. Here’s how you can help:
- Measure gates and look for low branches on the way in
- Send allergy details in writing
- Check early that your venue allows food trucks
- Give us separate numbers for children
At the end of service, we close the hatch and pack down.
Ask us about evening food later on, quoted with the main booking.
Before you choose a spot
Everything is served from our food truck or trailer, so the spot needs a little planning. Here’s what we look for:
- A spot away from neighbours
- Space in front of the hatch for guests to queue
- A parking suspension, where a street spot is needed
If you’re unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think.
On the menu in Wincheap
- Tacos
- Burrito bowls
- Quesadillas
- Loaded nachos
- Mexican drinks bar
- Burritos
Is food truck hire right for your event?
Booking several street food trucks means juggling several suppliers. One truck with tacos, burritos and nachos is one booking to manage. 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.
What you get with us
- Every guest catered for, gluten-free, dairy-free, vegetarian and vegan included
- A menu agreed with you
- Quoted for your event
- Book food, drinks or both

Events we cater in Wincheap
It is a private hire, so the queue is your guests only and the menu suits them.
We can help if you are planning any of the following:
- Winter staff parties
- Launch events
- Weddings
- Anniversary celebrations
After a service at a church such as Church of St Mildred, a hired food truck at a garden, field or venue nearby can feed everyone.
Questions to ask before you book
- When payment is due
- What the caterer needs from your venue
- Plates and napkins, or nothing at all
- A food hygiene rating you can check
Step by step
Guests tend to gather around the truck, so we will help you choose a spot with room for a queue. We can serve in the rain, but guests will need somewhere covered. A Christmas party in Wincheap with a hired food truck will be in the dark from about 3:50pm, so ask the venue about outdoor lighting where we will park. At midsummer, sunset is around 9:15pm.
- First come the basics: date, location, numbers and diets.
- We suggest a menu for the hatch and quote for it.
- We confirm the parking spot, access, power and water with you or the venue.
- On the day we drive in, set up and serve to order from the hatch.
- After service, we close the hatch, pack down and drive away.
Preparing for the day
- Send us final numbers and dietary needs in good time
- Let us know the timings for the day
- Confirm the venue allows outside caterers
Ask for a quote
Not sure what you need yet? No problem: tell us about the occasion and the guests, and we will make suggestions. When you are ready, send us your details through our quote form.

Prices and what affects them
Two events with the same number of guests can cost different amounts, because of:
- What the venue already provides
- Whether you add a drinks bar or food
- How long we’re needed on site
- The number of people
Cost depends on guest numbers, the menu and the length of service, plus any add-ons and the location. We quote for each event individually.
Details that help
For a quote, it helps to have:
- Your date and when you want service to start
- Diets and allergies you know about
- Your menu ideas
- Access for the truck or trailer, including gates and ground
We quote for each event separately, based on what you need. To ask for one, tell us about it on our contact page.
