About our food truck hire in Chilswell
The hatch menu is agreed with you: tacos and burritos, with bowls, nachos or quesadillas if you like, finished with salsas and guacamole. It works well for retirement parties and engagement parties, serving burrito bowls, burritos and tacos from the hatch.
In a rural place like Chilswell, access is the main thing to plan for a hired truck: gate widths, soft ground and the route from the road all matter. Power and water may be limited, so we confirm the arrangements before the day. Your quote sets out what’s included: menu, timings and any add-ons.

In Chilswell and nearby, we can cater all sorts of events. Some of the most common are:
- Milestone birthdays

Organising for someone else?
If your event is in a public space, such as a park, check what permission you need first. We’ll provide the information the landowner or council asks for from us.
If you’re booking for a business, tell us what your finance team needs, and we will talk you through the process. We can work with your facilities team on access and timings.
Planning for every diet
With a little notice, most diets are easy. We suggest:
- Let us know who is coeliac
- Add a dietary question to the invitation
- Agree service times with us
- Think about cover if the weather turns
We can serve through rain, but guests will want a covered area to eat.
Loaded nachos to share while the first orders cook are a good way to begin.
FAQs for Chilswell
We are having a ceremony at Church of St Lawrence: 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 will check the access.
Do you hire out your food truck for parties in places like Chilswell?
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 bring plates and cutlery?
Please ask us. Tell us what your venue provides, and we’ll confirm what’s included with your quote.
Can you serve in the rain?
We can keep serving from the truck or trailer in the rain, but your guests will want somewhere covered, such as a marquee, gazebo or nearby building.
Can you do gluten-free food?
Yes, with corn tortillas. Corn tortillas are naturally gluten-free, but some fillings, sauces and toppings may not be, so we check every dish and give allergen information.
Can you cater in a back garden?
Yes, if the truck or trailer can get in and park on level, firm ground. Tell us about the drive, gates and any slopes, and we will tell you honestly whether it works.
What do you need at the venue?
Tell us where you’d like the truck, and we’ll check the access. Our guide to space and power has more.

How it compares
Hiring a food truck is different from finding one at a festival. At a festival we trade to the public; when you hire us, we serve only your guests, on your timings. Extra dishes, drinks and longer service are priced on request, so you choose what goes in.
What we offer in Chilswell
- Catering across Oxfordshire, including Chilswell
- Allergen information for every dish
- Set-up planned with you and your venue
- Menus for vegan, vegetarian, dairy-free and gluten-free guests
How the day works
Guests tend to gather around the truck, so we will help you choose a spot with room for a queue. Rain does not usually stop us serving, though guests will want somewhere covered to stand or sit. Planning a private evening event in Chilswell? Sunset is around 9:00pm in late May and 9:25pm in late June. After that, festoon lights or lamps near the truck help guests order.
