Food truck hire for Chalk events
Can I do a taco night myself?
You can set up your own drinks table, but someone still has to mix, pour and keep an eye on it all evening. See our margarita bar guide.
Plenty of people try a DIY taco night at home. Common snags are cold tortillas, uneven quantities and the host missing the party. If you’d rather be with your guests, we’ll do the serving.
How our food truck hire works in Chalk
Everyone orders at the hatch and gets food cooked to order. It keeps things easy and relaxed for guests and hosts. At wedding evening food and client hospitality, we’ll put together a menu of quesadillas, vegan tacos and tacos from the hatch and more.
In a small place like Chalk, a hired food truck might park in a garden, paddock or field. Tell us about narrow lanes, gates and long drives. Firm ground matters, especially after rain. We cater for vegan, vegetarian, dairy-free and gluten-free guests, and we give allergen information for every dish.
What’s on the menu
Tacos from the hatch
Tacos are quick to serve and easy to eat standing up.
Loaded nachos
Crisp chips loaded with toppings, salsa and guacamole, for sharing.
Catering for every guest
We take diets and allergies seriously. Here’s how you can help:
- Let us know who is coeliac
- Ask guests about dietary needs when they reply
- Ask guests with severe allergies to speak to us beforehand
- Email us any allergies
We can serve through rain, but guests will want a covered area to eat.
Ask us about napkins, plates and cutlery and we’ll confirm the options in your quote.
Common questions in Chalk
Could you serve our guests after a service at Church of St Mary?
Yes, at a garden, field or venue nearby where the truck or trailer can park. We’d serve at the reception venue rather than at the church itself. Tell us where the reception will be.
Do you hire out your food truck for parties in places like Chalk?
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.
Do you provide plates and napkins?
That is confirmed with each quote. Tell us whether your venue has crockery or you’d prefer disposables.
Do you have gluten-free options?
We can, using corn tortillas. Corn tortillas are naturally gluten-free, but some fillings, sauces and toppings may not be, so we plan gluten-free dishes carefully and give allergen information.
What do you need at the venue?
A firm, level spot, a way in that fits the vehicle, and the venue’s agreement. We confirm power and water when you book.
How much space do you need?
Level, firm ground or hardstanding for the truck or trailer, and a route in it can fit through, and the venue’s agreement. Power and water arrangements are confirmed with each booking.
Do you have vegan options?
Yes. We can include vegetarian and vegan fillings like black beans or spiced mushrooms, served alongside the meat options.
Can we hire a bar too?
Our Mexican drinks bar can be added to a truck booking, serving margaritas, Mexican beer, aguas frescas and soft drinks. We will go through the licensing with you.

The process
Guests tend to gather around the truck, so we plan a spot with space for people to queue. Rain doesn’t typically stop us serving, but guests will need somewhere covered. December events in Chalk lose the light at about 3:50pm, so choose a well-lit spot for the truck or trailer. At midsummer, sunset is around 9:20pm.
- Check our availability for your date.
- We agree a hatch menu and send a quote.
- The spot and the way in are agreed in advance.
- We drive in, open the hatch and serve your guests.
- We pack down and drive away when service ends.
Getting ready for the day
- Send us final numbers and dietary needs in good time
- Let us know the timings for the day
- Check the venue is happy to have a truck or trailer on site
