Planning an event in Broad Oak?
Before you choose a spot
The route in matters as much as the spot itself. We look for:
- A place for guests to eat close to the hatch
- A parking suspension, where a street spot is needed
- Some space between the truck and nearby homes
If you are unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think before you book.

How our food truck hire works in Broad Oak
As a guide, hiring the truck or trailer suits around 50 to 400 guests. Smaller gatherings are looked at case by case, so tell us how many you expect. For retirement parties and weddings, we will put together a menu of vegan tacos, loaded nachos and fresh salsas and guacamole.
For a rural spot like Broad Oak, food truck hire needs a little planning: 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. Guests are served from our food truck or trailer, or from a serving table nearby, and we plan service so the queue keeps moving.

Broad Oak: your questions answered
Could you serve our guests after a service at Ebenezer Chapel?
Yes. The church itself is not 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 come out to small places like Broad Oak?
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.
What if the weather’s bad?
We can serve from the hatch in the rain. Plan cover for guests, such as a marquee or gazebo, and let us know if the ground gets soft after heavy rain.
What do you need at the venue?
Tell us where you’d like the truck, and we will check the access. Our guide to space and power has more.
Can we hire the truck for our wedding?
A food truck suits a relaxed wedding well, especially in the evening. We’ll check access and timings with your venue.
Can you cater in a back garden?
It depends on access. A drive or a spot nearby may work, with permission, if the garden itself is out of reach. Tell us about the space and we’ll advise.
Can you cater for children?
Of course. Mild dishes, quesadillas and nachos can be part of the menu. Include children in your numbers.
Do you do a taco bar?
Yes, a taco bar is one of our options. Tell us about your space and numbers and we’ll recommend how to serve.
Diets, allergies and planning
We take diets and allergies seriously. Here’s how you can help:
- Give us separate numbers for children
- Agree service times with us
- Check parking and loading rules for street locations
- Confirm allergies with us in writing
We arrive in the agreed window and park where we’ve arranged. Someone on site to meet us makes it smoother.
Margaritas, Mexican beer and aguas frescas from our drinks bar can join the truck, with licensing checked with you.

Can I do a taco night myself?
A DIY taco night is possible for a crowd, but it’s more work than it looks. Fillings need slow cooking, tortillas need warming as you go, and salsas need making. Our taco bar guide explains how.
Some hosts like to do it themselves. Common snags are cold tortillas, uneven quantities and the host missing the party. If you’d rather enjoy the party, let us serve.

- Tell us what the event is and who’s coming.
- 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.
- Once service ends, we tidy up and go.
