Food truck hire in Brattle, served fresh
Food truck hire means our food truck or trailer is booked for your guests only. Unlike a stall at a festival or market, it’s a private hire, so we plan the menu and service times around you. For engagements and anniversaries and christenings and family parties, we can serve fresh salsas and guacamole, tacos from the hatch and burritos and more.
In a small place like Brattle, a hired food truck might park in a garden, paddock or field. Lanes, gates and long drives are fine if we know about them. Firm ground matters, especially after rain. We prepare everything fresh for your event and serve it straight from our food truck or trailer, so guests get it at its best.
What affects the price in Brattle
Every event is priced individually, and the price depends on a few things:
- Timings and hours
- The number of people
- Whether you add a drinks bar or food
- Plates, napkins and cutlery
Got a budget? Let us know, and we’ll suggest a menu that fits. Even a simple menu can feel generous.

Your questions about food truck hire in Brattle
Which station should guests use for Brattle?
Guests can use Appledore (Kent) station, about 3.1 miles south-east of Brattle.
Could we book your food truck for a private event in Brattle?
Yes, depending on the date. For a private or work event in a village or hamlet, the main thing is access: tell us about the lane, the gate and the ground.
Do you cook on site?
We slow-cook fillings ahead, then finish them and keep them hot at your event. Tortillas are warmed on site, and salsas and guacamole are made fresh.
How much does food truck hire cost in Brattle?
We quote for each event, based on what you actually need. Give us your date, numbers and menu ideas for a clear quote.
What’s on the menu?
Mexican street food and drinks: tacos and build-your-own taco bars, burritos, burrito bowls, nachos and quesadillas, with salsas, guacamole and toppings. We also run a Mexican drinks bar.
Do you sell to the public at private events?
Private hire means we serve only your guests, with a menu and timings you agree with us. At festivals and markets we trade to the public.

The process
Serving is quick: we serve from the hatch or a serving station, so a crowd is looked after quickly. When service ends, we pack down. A Christmas party in Brattle with a hired food truck will be in the dark from about 3:50pm, so choose a well-lit spot for the truck or trailer. In late June, it stays light until about 9:15pm.
- Send us your date, the address, a headcount and dietary needs.
- We check availability and send a menu and a quote for hiring the truck or trailer.
- Before the day, we agree the spot, the way in, power and water.
- We arrive, open the hatch and cook to order for your guests.
- After service, we close the hatch, pack down and drive away.
How to prepare
- Send us final numbers and dietary needs in good time
- Arrange somewhere covered for guests to eat
- Share the running order, including any speeches

Can I do a taco night myself?
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.
Running your own drinks table is one option, but someone has to serve all evening. See our margarita bar guide.
For planners, venues and organisers
Booking for a company? Tell us what your finance team needs, and we’ll talk you through the process. We’re happy to liaise with facilities on access and timings.
Many venues have rules for outside caterers: where vehicles can park, access times and the paperwork they need. Tell us what your venue needs and we’ll work to it.
Catering for every guest
Nearly every event has some special diets. To cater well for them:
- Confirm the venue accepts outside caterers and vehicles
- Think about cover if the weather turns
- Ask about parking rules if we will be on a road
- Collect diets and allergies with your RSVPs
We keep allergen information for every dish at the hatch, so guests can ask before ordering.
Nachos for sharing at the start.
