How our food truck hire works in Benson
Food truck hire means our truck or trailer is booked for your guests only. It is a private booking, not public trading, so the menu and timings are set around your event. It works well for summer parties at home and engagements and anniversaries, with vegan tacos, burrito bowls and quesadillas.
In a smaller place like Benson, hiring our food truck for a party at home is often the easiest option: no venue hire, and guests order at the hatch. Tell us about the lane and the drive. Your quote sets out what’s included: menu, timings and any add-ons.

Prices and what affects them
Pricing is straightforward once we know the basics:
- What’s on the menu
- The length of service
- Whether you need disposables
- Whether you add a drinks bar or food
The price depends on guest numbers, the menu and how long you’d like us to serve, along with extras and where your event is. We quote for each event individually.
What to tell us
We can quote more accurately with a few details. Here’s what’s useful:
- The date and time of the event
- The venue or postcode
- Whether you’d like food, drinks or both
- Roughly how many adults and children
To get a price, just send us your details through our quote form. Tell us about your event in Benson, and we will suggest a menu to suit.
Planners, venues and businesses
Venues often have their own rules about outside caterers: vehicle access, arrival times and documents. Send us your venue’s requirements and we’ll follow them.
Planners and coordinators can contact us directly, and we’ll keep you updated on timings and set-up.
How it compares
Hog roasts are popular with meat eaters, but tacos and bowls make vegan, gluten-free and dairy-free guests easier to feed. Extras, such as more dishes, extra drinks or a longer service, are quoted on request, so you choose what goes in.
What you get with us
- A quote that sets out what’s included
- Allergen information for every dish
- Menus chosen with you
- Quick, friendly service from the hatch

The process
We take care of everything you’ve booked, from set-up to service, so you can enjoy your event. Late-September events in Benson see sunset at about 7:10pm, so a later service will need some lighting. A late-May event keeps its light until roughly 8:55pm.
- Tell us the date, the location, rough numbers and any diets.
- We check availability and send a menu and a quote for hiring the truck or trailer.
- 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.
How to prepare
- Confirm the venue allows outside caterers
- Choose a level, firm spot for the truck or trailer
- Let us know who to talk to on the day

Catering for every guest
A Mexican menu is easy to plan for mixed diets, because guests can choose what suits them. A few tips:
- Send allergy details in writing
- Ask the venue about catering vehicles before you book
- Add a dietary question to the invitation
- Check parking and loading rules for street locations
We keep allergen information for every dish at the hatch, so guests can ask before ordering.
Margaritas, Mexican beer and aguas frescas from our drinks bar can be added to the booking, with licensing checked with you.
Can I do a taco night myself?
Weighing up a DIY taco night against a caterer? Consider your numbers, your guests’ diets and your own time. Ask us for a quote and compare.
A DIY taco night works well for a small group. For big numbers or lots of diets, a caterer makes life easier, and handles allergen information for you.

FAQs for Benson
Can you bring your truck or trailer to Howbery Park?
It depends on the park’s owner, who would need to agree to a catering vehicle on site. Ask them first; if they say yes, we’ll send what they need from us.
Do you come to events in the Chilterns National Landscape?
We do, where the venue allows a catering vehicle. Lanes can be narrow and ground soft, so tell us how we’d get in.
Do you take everything away?
We pack down and leave our area tidy. Tell us the venue’s rules on waste and clearing up and we’ll confirm the arrangements with your quote.
Is private hire the same as trading at a festival?
At a private hire, we serve your guests and nobody else, with a menu and timings you agree with us. At festivals and markets we trade to the public.
How does food truck hire work?
You hire the truck or trailer for agreed service times. We cook, serve and clear away.
How soon do we need to book?
Early, particularly for summer Saturdays. Even if it is short notice, it is worth asking.
Do you provide drinks?
Yes, we run a Mexican drinks bar, serving margaritas, Mexican beer, aguas frescas such as hibiscus and horchata, and soft drinks. Alcohol at an event may need a licence, such as a premises licence or a Temporary Event Notice, so we’ll go through the licensing with you.
How spicy is the food?
It’s up to you: we can keep the main dishes mild, with hotter salsas served separately. Read more about how spicy Mexican food is.
