Planning for every diet
Most events have a mix of diets. To plan for them:
- Ask guests with severe allergies to speak to us beforehand
- Send allergy details in writing
- Plan a covered area for guests to eat
- Add a dietary question to the invitation
Allergen information is available at the hatch for every dish, so guests can ask before ordering.
Ask about a second service later in the evening.
Food truck hire for your event in Brading
Service is planned around your timings: a lunchtime window, an evening service or a longer slot through a party. Tell us when guests should eat and we’ll plan around it. At staff summer parties and end-of-year celebrations, we can serve quesadillas, burrito bowls and fresh salsas and guacamole and more.
In a rural place like Brading, access is the main thing to plan for a hired truck: gate widths, soft ground and the route from the road all matter. Power and water may be limited, so we confirm the arrangements before the day. You can book food, drinks or both, so the food and drinks can come from one caterer.

Questions from Brading
Do you cater in villages like Brading?
Yes. Villages and hamlets are part of our area, and the main thing is access: tell us about the lane, the gate and the ground.
Which station is closest to Brading?
Guests can use Brading station, which is right in Brading.
Do you offer a bar with the truck?
You can add our drinks bar, serving margaritas, Mexican beer, aguas frescas and soft drinks. We’ll check the licensing with you.
Can you cater for vegetarians and vegans?
Of course. Vegetarian and vegan fillings, such as spiced mushrooms or black beans, can be part of the menu.
What do you need at the venue?
A firm, level spot, a way in that fits the vehicle, and the venue’s agreement. Power and water are confirmed with each booking.
Can you keep it mild?
That is your choice: we can keep the main dishes mild, with hotter salsas served separately.
Do you have options for kids?
Of course. We can keep dishes mild, and simple options such as quesadillas or nachos can be part of the menu. Tell us how many children are coming.
How far ahead should we book?
As soon as you have a date. Popular dates go first, so get in touch early.
Food truck hire or something else?
Most guests have seen a burger van. A Mexican food truck offers something less expected. Larger events can cost less per head, because the set-up is similar for different sizes of event. Tell us your numbers for an accurate price.
What you get with us
- Tacos, burritos and a drinks bar
- A plan agreed before the day
- A clear quote
- A truck or trailer that comes to you

DIY taco night versus a caterer
DIY catering keeps costs down, but the host spends the party serving. With a caterer, you get the food and drinks without the work.
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.
Space, access and the venue
Everything is served from our food truck or trailer, so the spot needs a little planning. Here’s what we look for:
- Arrangements for power and water, agreed when you book
- Gate widths, overhead branches and soft ground checked in advance
- Some space between the truck and nearby homes
Out-of-the-way places like Brading take a little more planning, so let us know about tracks, gates and power in good time.
If you’re unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think before you book.
On the menu in Brading
- Burrito bowls
- Quesadillas
- Tacos
- Burritos

Step by step
We need a level, firm spot we can drive the truck or trailer onto, with power and water arrangements agreed beforehand. Send us a picture of the space if you’re unsure. By late September, it is dark in Brading at around 7:10pm, so a later service will need some lighting. A late-May event keeps its light until roughly 8:55pm.
- Check our availability for your date.
- We agree a hatch menu and send a quote.
- The spot and the way in are agreed in advance.
- We drive in, open the hatch and serve your guests.
- After service, we close up and leave the spot clear.
How to prepare
- Tell us what power and water the site has
- Arrange somewhere covered for guests to eat
- Confirm numbers and diets before the day
Ask for a quote
Tell us your date, venue or postcode and roughly how many guests, plus any dietary needs, and we’ll reply with a menu suggestion and a quote. Just tell us about it on our contact page.
