Food truck hire in Blue Bell Hill
Can I do a taco night myself?
Running your own drinks table is one option, but someone has to serve all evening. Our margarita bar guide has tips.
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.
How our food truck hire works in Blue Bell Hill
A hired food truck works for weddings, birthdays and staff days. Popular choices include tacos from the hatch, vegan tacos and fresh salsas and guacamole, and it suits engagements and anniversaries and launch events.
In a hamlet or village like Blue Bell Hill, our food truck or trailer can serve a private party or a team day in a field or garden. Guests order at the hatch, so plan a sheltered spot for the queue in case of rain. Guests are served from our truck or trailer, or from a serving table nearby, and we plan service so the queue keeps moving.
Organising for someone else?
Venues often have their own rules about outside caterers: where vehicles can park, access times and the paperwork they need. Tell us what your venue needs and we will work to it.

What we need at the venue

- A way in wide and high enough for the vehicle
- The venue’s or landowner’s permission for a food truck
- Power and water details confirmed in advance
If you’re unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think before you book.

How much does food truck hire cost?
