Food truck hire for your event in Blackwater
Guests walk up to the hatch, order and take their food away hot. It keeps things easy and relaxed for guests and hosts. It works well for milestone birthdays and retirement parties, serving fresh salsas and guacamole, quesadillas and vegan tacos.
In a smaller place like Blackwater, hiring our food truck for a party at home is often the easiest option: no venue hire, and guests order at the hatch. Let us know about the route to the house. Timings are planned around your event, whether that is speeches, a lunch break or a festival schedule.

DIY taco night versus a caterer
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.
Running your own drinks table is one option, but someone still has to mix, pour and keep an eye on it all evening. See our margarita bar guide.

What happens on the day
Guests tend to gather around the truck, so we plan a spot with space for people to queue. Rain doesn’t normally stop us serving, though guests will want somewhere covered to stand or sit. Late-September events in Blackwater see sunset at about 7:05pm, so evening service from the truck may run past dusk. In late May, daylight lasts until about 8:55pm.

- Together we plan dishes that cover your guests’ diets.
- We check power, water and timings with the venue.
- The truck serves at the agreed times.
