Food truck hire in Budds
About our food truck hire in Budds
When you hire our food truck, it serves your guests and nobody else. It’s a private booking, not public trading, so the menu and timings are set around your event. It suits staff appreciation days and wedding receptions, with burritos, tacos from the hatch and fresh salsas and guacamole.
Somewhere as small as Budds, food truck hire can mean a garden, a field or a barn. Lanes, gates and long drives are fine if we know about them. Soft ground after rain is worth mentioning too. We will check the space, access and power with you before the day, so set-up goes smoothly.
Occasions we cater for in Budds
It feels informal but well looked after.
Whatever the occasion, the serving truck can be a highlight. We are happy to cater:
- Wedding evening food
- Garden parties
- Family reunions
- Private parties in fields and grounds
When the service is at a church such as Church of St Giles, the truck would serve at the reception venue rather than at the church.
Questions to ask before booking
- Any travel, parking or access charges
- VAT, if it applies
- The venue requirements
- Allergen information for each dish
For planners, venues and organisers
If you run the same event each year, tell us your dates early, so we can plan ahead.
If you are planning an event on someone’s behalf, such as a wedding planner, an office manager or a festival organiser, we’ll work directly with you and the venue. It keeps things simple.
Should I do it myself?
You can set up your own drinks table, but someone still has to mix, pour and keep an eye on it all evening. Our margarita bar guide has tips.
You can host your own taco night for a crowd, but it takes planning. There are fillings to slow-cook, tortillas to keep warm and salsas to make. Read our guide to taco bars.

It is about 23 miles from central London, and inside the area we cover.
Do you provide drinks?
Yes, we offer a Mexican drinks bar, with margaritas, Mexican beer, aguas frescas and soft drinks. Your venue or event may need the right licence for alcohol, so we will check the licensing with you.
Is the food very hot?
It’s up to you: we can keep the main dishes mild, with hotter salsas served separately.
What do you serve?
Every menu is agreed with you. Fillings could include chicken tinga, pork carnitas, al pastor-style pork and vegan options like black beans. See our menu for ideas.
How is the food prepared?
Fillings are slow-cooked in advance, then finished and kept hot on site. Tortillas are warmed on site, and salsas and guacamole are made fresh.
How many guests can the truck serve?
That depends on your timings and the event. Most bookings fall around 50 to 400 guests.
How long are you on site?
That depends on your event and menu. We agree arrival, service and pack-down times with you to suit your day.
Before you choose a spot
We will be honest if a space won’t work. What matters most:
- Arrangements for power and water, agreed when you book
- A parking suspension, where a street spot is needed
- Somewhere for guests to sit or stand and eat
If you are unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think before you book.

Burritos suit hungry guests.
How the day works
Service is quick and friendly: guests are served at the hatch or a serving station, so a crowd is looked after quickly. When service ends, we pack down. Late-September events in Budds see sunset at about 7:05pm, so a later service will need some lighting. A late-May event keeps its light until roughly 8:50pm.
