Food truck hire for your event in Abbotswood
Our truck or trailer is available to hire for events across Abbotswood and nearby, from gardens to venue grounds and business parks. We serve fresh salsas and guacamole, burritos and burrito bowls, which works well for weddings and family celebrations.
Somewhere as small as Abbotswood, food truck hire can mean a garden, a field or a barn. Tell us about narrow lanes, gates and long drives. Soft ground after rain is worth mentioning too. Your quote sets out what’s included: the menu, the service time and any extras you choose.
Space, access and the venue
We serve from a truck or trailer, so the spot needs a little planning. Here’s what we look for:
- Seating or standing room near the truck
- Any parking or loading permission needed for street locations
- A way in wide and high enough for the vehicle
If you’re unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think.

- 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.
- We arrive, open the hatch and cook to order for your guests.
- Once guests are fed, we clear our area and head off.

Common questions in Abbotswood
Can you cater a reception after a service at St Swithun's Church?
Yes. The church itself is not 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.
How far is Abbotswood from central London?
It is about 69 miles from central London, and inside the area we cover.
Do you take everything away?
We pack down and leave our area tidy. Let us know the venue’s rules on waste and we will talk it through.
Do you cook on site?
Food is cooked to order in our food truck or trailer, or served from a build-your-own taco bar. Fillings are slow-cooked beforehand and finished on site.
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 provide drinks?
Yes, we offer a Mexican drinks bar, with margaritas, Mexican beer, aguas frescas and soft drinks. Your venue or event may need the right licence for alcohol, so we’ll go through the licensing with you.
Do you have options for kids?
Yes, children are easy to plan for. Let us know numbers and ages, and we will plan the menu with them in mind.
Do you cover Abbotswood?
Yes, we do. Abbotswood is one of the places we cover. Send us your date to check availability.
DIY taco night or a caterer?
DIY catering keeps costs down, but the host spends the party serving. With a caterer, you get the food and drinks without the work.
