Food truck hire in Blackbird Leys, from our truck or trailer
We cook inside our truck or trailer, so there’s no need for kitchen space at the venue. What we do need is level ground, a way in and the venue’s agreement. On the menu are quesadillas, burrito bowls and loaded nachos, and it suits company away days and retirement parties.
Hire our food truck for an event near Blackbird Leys and the kitchen comes with it; we just need level ground, access and the venue’s permission. We serve from the hatch of our truck or trailer, or from a serving station, and we plan service so the queue keeps moving.

Planning an event for a club, school or charity in Blackbird Leys? Service from a truck or trailer is quick, even for a crowd, and the menu can suit most diets. Tell us about the event and we will suggest a menu.
What we need at the venue
Every venue is different, so we will ask about yours when you get in touch. Generally, we look for:
- Some space between the truck and nearby homes
- A flat parking spot on firm ground or hardstanding
- Gate widths, overhead branches and soft ground checked in advance
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and the access, and we will advise before booking.
DIY taco night or a caterer?
For a small group, a taco night at home can work well. For big numbers or lots of diets, a caterer makes life easier, and handles allergen information for you.
Plenty of people try a DIY taco night at home. The usual problems are cold tortillas, running out of a popular filling and a host stuck at the stove. If you’d rather be with your guests, we will do the serving.
What affects the price in Blackbird Leys
Each event is quoted on its own, based on a few main things:
- Serving staff
- The length of service
- Whether you need disposables
- The menu you choose
Access and travel can make a difference to the cost, so it helps to tell us about your venue. The full price is confirmed in your quote.
Getting an accurate quote
These details help us quote quickly:
- Diets and allergies you know about
- The date and rough timings
- Whether you’d like food, drinks or both
- Roughly how many adults and children
It’s easy to get a price: tell us the date, place, numbers and any dietary needs. We will come back with a clear quote and a suggested menu.
How it works
When we arrive, we position the truck or trailer and get the serving area ready. We are ready to serve at the agreed time, planned around your event. A hired food truck at a summer event in Blackbird Leys can serve in daylight until about 9:25pm at midsummer, and by late September sunset is about 7:10pm. In December it’s dark by about 3:55pm, so the queue by the hatch needs lighting.
- First come the basics: date, location, numbers and diets.
- We suggest a menu for the hatch and quote for it.
- Where the truck or trailer will stand, the route in, and power and water are all agreed in advance.
- 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
- Have a marquee or gazebo ready in case of rain
- Have level hardstanding or firm ground ready
- Tell us when you want service to start

Blackbird Leys questions
How far is Blackbird Leys from central London?
It is about 50 miles from central London, and inside the area we cover.
Can you cater a reception after a service at Church of the Holy Family?
Yes. The church itself isn’t 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 will check the access.
Do you cater for coeliacs?
Yes, with corn tortillas. Corn tortillas are naturally gluten-free, but some fillings, sauces and toppings may not be, so we check every dish and give allergen information.
Can you keep it mild?
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.
Is the food suitable for children?
Yes, children are easy to plan for. Tell us how many and roughly how old, and we will plan the menu with them in mind.
What about vegan and gluten-free guests?
There are gluten-free, dairy-free, vegetarian and vegan options, with corn tortillas for gluten-free guests. Every dish has allergen information.
What does it cost to hire the truck?
We quote for every hire, based on guest numbers, the menu, the location and service times. Contact us for a quote.
Do you need electricity?
It depends on the event and the set-up, so we confirm power and water arrangements with each booking. Let us know whether there is a supply near where we’ll park.
