Food truck hire for Balmerlawn events
Working with your venue
Events in public spaces, like parks, typically need permission. We’ll provide the information the landowner or council asks for from us.
Planners and coordinators can contact us directly, and we will keep everyone informed on the day.
How our food truck hire works in Balmerlawn
Guests walk up to the hatch, order and take their food away hot. It keeps things easy and relaxed. It suits company away days and winter staff parties, serving tacos from the hatch, vegan tacos and burrito bowls.
In a rural place like Balmerlawn, 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’ll check the space, access and power with you before the day, so set-up goes smoothly.

We quote for each event separately, based on what you need. To ask for one, drop us a line using the enquiry form.
How it compares
Most guests have seen a burger van. A Mexican food truck offers something less expected. Cost depends on guest numbers, the menu and the length of service, along with extras and where your event is. We quote for each event individually.
What you get with us
- Book food, drinks or both
- Access, space and power checked in advance
- Allergen information for everything we serve
- Menus chosen with you

Should I do it myself?
Doing it yourself saves money, but the host ends up in the kitchen. With a caterer, you get the food and drinks without the work.
A DIY taco night works well for a small group. For big numbers or lots of diets, a caterer makes life easier, with allergen information for every dish.
