Food truck hire in Barnes Cray, served fresh
Service is planned around your timings: a set lunch hour, an evening slot or a few hours through a party. Let us know your running order and we will plan around it. It works well for company away days and leaving dos and retirements, serving vegan tacos, burrito bowls and fresh salsas and guacamole.
In and around Barnes Cray, our food 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. Access, space and power are agreed with you beforehand, so set-up goes smoothly.

Planning for every diet
A Mexican menu is easy to plan for mixed diets, because options can be kept separate. A few tips:
- Confirm the venue accepts outside caterers and vehicles
- Plan a covered area for guests to eat
- Give us separate numbers for children
- Ask guests about dietary needs when they reply
Guests order at the hatch and their food is handed out hot.

Should I do it myself?
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.
