How our food truck hire works in Chillenden
Service is planned around your timings: a set lunch hour, an evening slot or a few hours through a party. Tell us when guests should eat and we will plan around it. It suits end-of-year parties and private parties in fields and grounds, with loaded nachos, tacos from the hatch and quesadillas.
In a small place like Chillenden, a hired food truck might park in a garden, paddock or field. Lanes, gates and long drives are fine if we know about them. Soft ground after rain is worth mentioning too. Guests are served from our food truck or trailer, or from a serving table nearby, and we plan service so the queue keeps moving.

- What you’d like on the menu
- The venue or postcode
- A picture of where we’d park
- Any dietary needs and allergies
Every quote is put together for your event. Tell us your date and guest numbers, and we’ll check availability at the same time.

- Seating or standing room near the truck
- Space in front of the hatch for guests to queue
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and the access, and we will advise before you book.

Catering for every guest
A Mexican menu is easy to plan for mixed diets, because guests can choose what suits them. Here are a few tips for planning:
- Walk the access route and note narrow gaps
- Let us know who is coeliac
- Give us separate numbers for children
- Share your running order
Wet weather does not close the hatch, but guests will want a covered area to eat.
Simple quesadillas suit younger guests, if you’d like a kids’ choice.
The menu, item by item
Burritos
A large flour tortilla rolled round rice, beans, a filling and toppings.

DIY taco night or a caterer?
Weighing up a DIY taco night against a caterer? Think about numbers, diets and how much you want to enjoy the day. Ask us for a quote and compare.
You can set up your own drinks table, but someone has to serve all evening. See our margarita bar guide.
How the day works
Serving is quick: guests are served at the hatch or a serving station, so a crowd is looked after quickly. Afterwards we clear our area. By late September, it is dark in Chillenden at around 7:00pm, so a later service will need some lighting. In late May, daylight lasts until about 8:45pm.
- Tell us what the event is and who’s coming.
- Together we plan dishes that cover your guests’ diets.
- Power, water and timings are agreed with you or the venue.
- The truck serves at the agreed times.
- Once service ends, we tidy up and go.
Before we arrive
- Name one person we can ask on the day
- Measure any gates or arches on the way in
- Check the venue is happy to have a truck or trailer on site
