Food truck hire for Badshot Lea events
How our food truck hire works in Badshot Lea
You choose the hatch menu with us: tacos and burritos, with bowls, nachos or quesadillas if you like, with fresh salsas and guacamole. We serve quesadillas, fresh salsas and guacamole and loaded nachos, which works well for engagement parties and launch events.
In a rural place like Badshot Lea, access is the main thing to plan for a hired truck: gate widths, soft ground and the route from the road all matter. We confirm power and water arrangements with you. We serve from the hatch of our truck or trailer, or from a serving station, and we plan the service around your numbers.

FAQs for Badshot Lea
Which station should guests use for Badshot Lea?
Guests can use Aldershot station, about 1.2 miles north of Badshot Lea.
Can you bring your truck or trailer to Weybourne LNR?
Only with permission from whoever runs the park, often the council. Ask them first, and we will help with the information they need from us.
Do you have vegan options?
Yes. Vegetarian and vegan fillings, such as spiced mushrooms or black beans, can be part of the menu, served alongside the meat options.
Can you do dairy-free food?
Yes, we can. Tell us how many guests need dairy-free food, and we will plan the menu around them.
How long are you on site?
That depends on your event and menu. We agree arrival, service and pack-down times with you so everything fits your schedule.
Can you run a bar?
Yes, we run a Mexican drinks bar, serving margaritas, Mexican beer, aguas frescas such as hibiscus and horchata, 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 cook on site?
We cook to order in our truck or trailer kitchen, or serve from a taco bar. Fillings are slow-cooked beforehand and finished on site.
What do you serve?
Every menu is agreed with you. Fillings could include slow-cooked pork carnitas, chicken tinga, beef birria and vegan options such as spiced mushrooms or black beans. Our sample menu has more ideas.
Can I do a taco night myself?
Doing it yourself saves money, but the host ends up in the kitchen. Booking a caterer means you can relax with everyone else.
A DIY taco night is possible for a crowd, but it is more work than it looks. Fillings need slow cooking, tortillas need warming as you go, and salsas need making. Our taco bar guide explains how.
Dietary needs and planning tips
Every guest is catered for, vegan, vegetarian, dairy-free and gluten-free included. To get it right:
- Tell us about coeliac guests
- Ask guests with severe allergies to speak to us beforehand
- Email us any allergies
- Check gate widths and any height limits
