Food truck hire in Capel Cross, served fresh
We cook inside our truck or trailer, so there is no need for kitchen space at the venue. We need a level spot, safe access and the venue’s permission, with power and water confirmed per booking. On the menu are fresh salsas and guacamole, tacos from the hatch and burrito bowls, and it suits birthday parties and leaving parties.
Somewhere as small as Capel Cross, 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. Access, space and power are agreed with you beforehand, so there are no surprises on arrival.
DIY taco night or a caterer?
Not sure whether to do it yourself or book a caterer? Consider your numbers, your guests’ diets and your own time. Contact us for a quote to compare.
DIY catering keeps costs down, but the host spends the party serving. With a caterer, you get the food and drinks without the work.
Planning the serving area
Every venue is different, so we will ask about yours before we confirm. In general, we need:
- Seating or standing room near the truck
- A clear area for a queue at the hatch
- Gate widths, overhead branches and soft ground checked in advance
If you’re unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think before you book.
Prices and what affects them
Pricing is straightforward once we know the basics:
- What’s on the menu
- Food, drinks or both
- Plates, napkins and cutlery
- Serving staff
Extra dishes, drinks and longer service are priced on request, so you can choose what you need.
Details that help
To speed things up, tell us:
- Your menu ideas
- Gate widths, slopes and the ground
- A photo of the space, if it is a garden or field
