Food truck hire in California, from our food truck or trailer
Our drinks bar can be hired with the truck for margaritas, Mexican beer and aguas frescas, with licensing checked with you. A build-your-own taco bar can sit beside the truck too. It suits engagements and anniversaries and big birthdays, with tacos from the hatch, quesadillas and loaded nachos.
Around California, a hired food truck can serve in a garden, a field or a hall car park. If the road in is narrow or the ground soft, tell us so we can plan. We serve from the hatch of our truck or trailer, or from a serving station, and we plan the service around your numbers.

Questions from California
Which station should guests use for California?
Aylesbury station, in California itself.
Can you cater a reception after a service at Church of St Mary?
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 offer a bar with the truck?
The drinks bar comes with bar staff and alcohol-free choices. Alcohol needs the right licence, which we’ll check with you.
How much does food truck hire cost?
We quote for every hire, depending on numbers, menu, location and timings. Contact us for a quote.
How long are you on site?
We arrive in good time to set up before service. Serving times are agreed with you in advance, along with pack-down.
Do you give allergen information?
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). For severe allergies, please talk to us first.
Do you do margaritas?
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’ll talk licensing through with you.
Can you do gluten-free food?
Yes, gluten-free options are available, made with corn tortillas. Tell us about any coeliac guests before the event so we can explain how we prepare their food.
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. 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. Every event gets its own quote.
Why us?
- Access, space and power checked in advance
- Everything served fresh from the hatch
- Catering across Buckinghamshire, including California
- Menus chosen with you
Take a look at our prices page or our guide to catering costs.
What we need at the venue
We’ll be honest if a space will not work. The main points are:
- Any parking or loading permission needed for street locations
- A spot away from neighbours
- A flat parking spot on firm ground or hardstanding
If you are unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think.
DIY taco night versus a caterer
Running your own drinks table is one option, but someone has to serve all evening. Our margarita bar guide has tips.
If you do it yourself, work out quantities first: our guide to how many tacos per person helps. Keep warmed tortillas covered, and label dishes for guests with allergies.

How it works
We get there well before you want to serve, then set up and prepare everything. Guests come up to order when service opens. A Christmas party in California with a hired food truck will be in the dark from about 3:55pm, so ask the venue about outdoor lighting where we will park. At midsummer, sunset is around 9:25pm.
- First come the basics: date, location, numbers and diets.
- 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.
- Your guests order at the hatch and we serve hot food at the agreed times.
- Once guests are fed, we clear our area and head off.
Before we arrive
- Share the running order, including any speeches
- Pick a flat, firm spot for us to park
- Arrange somewhere covered for guests to eat
