Food truck hire in Busbridge, served fresh
We cook inside our food truck or trailer, so there is no need for kitchen space at the venue. What we do need is level ground, a way in and the venue’s agreement. On the menu are burrito bowls, tacos from the hatch and loaded nachos, and it suits engagements and anniversaries and retirement parties.
In a rural place like Busbridge, access is the main thing to plan for a hired truck: the gate, the ground and the distance from the lane. We confirm power and water arrangements with you. We turn up ready to serve, and tidy our own area afterwards.
Planning the serving area
Access is the first thing to check for a truck or trailer. We need:
- A place for guests to eat close to the hatch
- A parking suspension, where a street spot is needed
- Distance from houses and windows
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and the access, and we’ll advise before booking.

The process
Your timings come first. If things run behind, tell us and we will adjust the start of service where we can. Evening events in Busbridge stay light until about 9:20pm at midsummer. After that, festoon lights or lamps near the truck help guests order.
- First come the basics: date, location, numbers and diets.
- You get a hatch menu and a quote for the hire.
- We confirm the parking spot, access, power and water with you or the venue.
- We arrive, open the hatch and cook to order for your guests.
- Once guests are fed, we clear our area and head off.
Before we arrive
- Let us know the timings for the day
- Tell us what power and water the site has
- Tell us about narrow gates or low branches

Planning help
For planners, venues and organisers
Organising a club, school or community event in Busbridge? Service from a truck or trailer is quick, even for a crowd, and the menu can suit most diets. Tell us about the event and we will suggest a menu.
Events in public spaces, like parks, normally need permission. We’ll provide the information the landowner or council asks for from us.
DIY taco night or a caterer?
A DIY taco night is possible for a crowd, but it is more work than it looks. Fillings need slow cooking, tortillas need warming as you go, and salsas need making. Read our guide to taco bars.
A DIY taco night works well for a small group. For larger numbers, mixed diets or a wedding, a caterer takes the pressure off, and handles allergen information for you.
What food truck hire costs
Every event is priced individually, and the price depends on a few things:
- Timings and hours
- Adding food to drinks, or drinks to food
- Staff for serving and the bar
- The menu you choose
A food truck can be a practical alternative to plated catering, because it needs no venue kitchen. Ask us for a quote.
Getting an accurate quote
These details help us quote quickly:
- Expected numbers
- Where the event is
- Access for the truck or trailer, including gates and ground
- A photo of the space, if it is a garden or field
We quote for each event separately, based on what you need. To ask for one, send us your details through our quote form.
Busbridge: your questions answered
Is Busbridge close to London?
Roughly 31 miles from the centre of London, and we cover it.
Is it possible to have you in Phillips Memorial Park?
Only with permission from whoever runs the park, often the council. Check with them, and we’ll provide what they ask for from us.
What do you serve?
Mexican street food and drinks: tacos and build-your-own taco bars, burritos, burrito bowls, nachos and quesadillas, plus salsas, guacamole and toppings. A drinks bar is available too, with margaritas, Mexican beer and aguas frescas.
How spicy is the food?
It’s up to you: we can keep it mild and put the hotter salsas on the side. Read more about how spicy Mexican food is.
Can you plan for allergies?
Yes. Tell us about allergies when you book. UK law requires caterers to provide information on 14 allergens, and we do that for every dish (Food Standards Agency guidance). Anyone with a severe allergy should speak to us before the event.
How much space do you need?
Access and level ground matter most: a level spot to park, space for guests to queue and a little room for a serving table. Send us a photo and tell us about gates, slopes and soft ground.
Do you need power and water?
Tell us what the site has, for example a supply from the venue, and we’ll confirm what we need with your quote.
Do you clear up afterwards?
We pack down and tidy our own area after service. Ask us if you’d like help with anything else.

Comparing your options
A marquee kitchen with plated service needs more space, more staff and more time. A food truck arrives as a kitchen and serves from the hatch, needing level ground, access and the venue’s permission. The price depends on guest numbers, the menu and how long you’d like us to serve, along with extras and where your event is. We quote for each event individually.
