Near Chazey Heath, 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. Your quote sets out what’s included: menu, timings and any add-ons.
Chazey Heath questions
We are having a ceremony at Church of St John the Baptist: can you cater afterwards?
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’ll check the access.
Do you come out to small places like Chazey Heath?
Yes, small places are no problem, given access. Let us know about access and parking for the truck or trailer.
Do you do margaritas?
Yes, we do. Our drinks bar can be booked on its own or with food, with alcohol-free options such as aguas frescas. For alcohol, we’ll go through the licensing with you and your venue.
Is the truck suitable for a large group?
Hiring the truck or trailer typically suits around 50 to 400 guests. Smaller parties are quoted case by case.
Do you have options for kids?
Of course. Mild dishes, quesadillas and nachos can be part of the menu. Include children in your numbers.
How does private food truck hire work?
We bring our food truck or trailer to your venue, park in the agreed spot and serve your guests from the hatch. Only your guests are served.
Can we add drinks?
You can add our drinks bar, serving margaritas, Mexican beer, aguas frescas and soft drinks. We will check the licensing with you.
How is the food prepared?
We slow-cook fillings ahead, then finish them and keep them hot at your event. Tortillas are warmed on site, and salsas and guacamole are made fresh.

How we price food truck hire
Two events with the same number of guests can cost different amounts, because of:
- Parking and the route in
- Guest numbers
- The menu you choose
- Staff for serving and the bar
Cost depends on guest numbers, the menu and the length of service, plus any add-ons and the location. Every event gets its own quote.
Details that help
You do not need everything decided to ask for a quote, but it helps to know:
- Whether you’d like food, drinks or both
- Your date and when you want service to start
- How we drive in and where we can park
- Where the event is
A detailed enquiry gets a more accurate quote: the venue, the timings, food or drinks or both, and the access. To send your details, drop us a line using the enquiry form.
