Food truck hire for your event in Chawley
When you hire our food truck, it serves your guests and nobody else. Unlike a stall at a festival or market, it is a private hire, so we plan the menu and service times around you. It works well for wedding evening food and milestone birthdays, with vegan tacos, burritos and burrito bowls.
Near Chawley, a hired food truck in a field or garden suits private parties and work away days alike. Guests order at the hatch, so plan a sheltered spot for the queue in case of rain. Guests are served from our truck or trailer, or from a serving table nearby, and we plan the service around your numbers.

Perfect for your event in Chawley
You don’t need a kitchen, which opens up gardens, fields and car parks.
A truck or trailer suits almost any gathering. People in Chawley can book us for occasions like:
- Back-garden parties
- Weddings
- Engagements and anniversaries
- Leaving parties
Guests leaving a church like Church of St Michael could walk or drive to a nearby garden or hall where the truck is ready.
Questions to ask before booking
- How dietary needs and allergies are handled
- What the caterer needs from your venue
- When payment is due
- Whether plates, napkins and cutlery are included
How it compares
Several trucks mean several quotes and arrival times. One truck with tacos, burritos and nachos is one booking to manage. The cost per head can fall as numbers rise, since the set-up is much the same either way. Give us your numbers and we’ll quote.
Why book with us
- A menu built around your guests
- We cover Chawley and the whole of Oxfordshire
- Allergen information for every dish
- Tacos, burritos and a drinks bar

DIY taco night or a caterer?
Running your own drinks table is one option, but someone has to serve all evening. Our margarita bar guide has tips.
Not sure whether to do it yourself or book a caterer? Think about numbers, diets and how much you want to enjoy the day. Ask us for a quote and compare.
Chawley: your questions answered
Could you serve our guests after a service at Church of St Michael?
Yes, at a nearby garden, marquee or hall with access for the truck or trailer. Service would be at the reception venue, not the church. Send us the reception address.
Do you come out to small places like Chawley?
Yes. Villages and hamlets are part of our area, and the main thing is access: tell us about the lane, the gate and the ground.
Is private hire the same as trading at a festival?
Private hire means we serve only your guests, with a menu and timings you agree with us. Festival and market trading is open to the public; see our street food catering page.
What if the weather’s bad?
We can keep serving from the truck or trailer in the rain, but guests need somewhere covered to eat and drink, such as a marquee, gazebo or nearby building.
Do you bring plates and cutlery?
Please ask us. Tell us what your venue provides, and we will confirm what’s included with your quote.
What’s on the menu?
Mexican street food: 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 is the food prepared?
Food is cooked to order in our food truck or trailer, or served from a build-your-own taco bar. Slow-cooked fillings are prepared in advance and kept hot on site.
What about vegan and gluten-free guests?
We plan for diets before the day, but we cannot promise an allergen-free kitchen. Guests with severe allergies should talk to us first.
Where the truck can go in Chawley
We serve from a truck or trailer, so the spot needs a little planning. These are the things we check:
- Enough width and height on the route in
- Somewhere for guests to sit or stand and eat
- Space in front of the hatch for guests to queue
If you’re unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think before booking.
Planning for every diet
We take diets and allergies seriously. Help us by following these steps:
- Add a dietary question to the invitation
- Check early that your venue allows food trucks
- Tell us how many children are coming
- Think about cover if the weather turns
We can serve through rain, but guests will want a covered area to eat.
Quesadillas make an easy option for children.

How the day works
It’s a relaxed, well-organised set-up. We agree arrival and serving times in advance, set up our truck or trailer, and serve without fuss. December events in Chawley lose the light at about 3:55pm, so choose a well-lit spot for the truck or trailer. In late June, it stays light until about 9:25pm.
- Send us your date, the address, a headcount and dietary needs.
- We suggest a menu for the hatch and quote for it.
- Before the day, we agree the spot, the way in, power and water.
- We arrive, open the hatch and cook to order for your guests.
- When service ends, we pack up and leave the spot clear.
