Planners, venues and businesses
If you are organising for someone else, 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.
For repeat events, such as annual staff parties or seasonal fairs, let us know your dates early, so we can plan ahead.
How our food truck hire works in Burlow
Service is planned around your timings: a set lunch hour, an evening slot or a few hours through a party. Tell us when guests should eat. On the menu are fresh salsas and guacamole, burritos and tacos from the hatch, which works well for private parties in fields and grounds and client hospitality.
In a rural place like Burlow, 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. We serve from the hatch of our truck or trailer, or from a serving station, and we plan service so the queue keeps moving.

Burlow questions
How far is Burlow from London?
It’s about 42 miles from central London, and inside the area we cover.
Can we hire your food truck for a private party in Burlow?
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.
How many guests can you serve?
That depends on the menu and the service time, but around 50 to 400 guests is the usual range. For anything outside that, ask us.
How is the food prepared?
We cook to order in our food truck or trailer kitchen, or serve from a taco bar. Fillings are slow-cooked beforehand and finished on site.
How many guests can the truck serve?
It depends on the event and how long service runs. Most bookings fall around 50 to 400 guests, so tell us your numbers.
Do you bring plates and cutlery?
Please ask us. Tell us what your venue provides, and we’ll set out plates, napkins and cutlery in your quote.
Can you cater for guests who avoid dairy?
Yes, we can. Let us know your dairy-free numbers, and we’ll plan the menu around them.
Can you run a bar?
Yes, we offer a Mexican drinks bar, serving margaritas, Mexican beer, aguas frescas such as hibiscus and horchata, and soft drinks. Alcohol at an event may need a licence, such as a premises licence or a Temporary Event Notice, so we’ll talk licensing through with you.
Planning for every diet
A Mexican menu is easy to plan for mixed diets, because options can be kept separate. A few tips:
- Ask guests with severe allergies to speak to us beforehand
- Email us any allergies
- Walk the access route and note narrow gaps
- Have shelter ready in case of rain
Allergen information is available at the hatch for every dish, so guests can ask before ordering.
Our Mexican drinks bar, with margaritas, Mexican beer and aguas frescas can join the truck.

DIY taco night versus a caterer
For a small group, a taco night at home can work well. For larger numbers, mixed diets or a wedding, a caterer takes the pressure off, with allergen information for every dish.
A DIY taco night is possible for a crowd, but it is more work than it looks. There are fillings to slow-cook, tortillas to keep warm and salsas to make. Our taco bar guide explains how.
Occasions we cater for in Burlow
Food comes from the hatch hot, one order at a time, rather than waiting under foil.
A truck or trailer works for big and small events alike. Common bookings include:
- Family celebrations
- Weddings
- Back-garden parties
- Client hospitality
Historic houses near Burlow include Horselunges Manor (2.8 miles south) and Michelham Priory (4.5 miles south). Listed venues often control where vehicles go, so raise food truck hire at your first visit.
