Can I do a taco night myself?
Weighing up a DIY taco night against a caterer? Consider your numbers, your guests’ diets and your own time. Contact us for a quote to compare.

Food truck hire for your event in Coates
Our truck or trailer is available to hire for events across Coates and nearby: gardens, venue grounds, car parks and business parks. At leaving dos and retirements and family celebrations, we can serve burritos, fresh salsas and guacamole and burrito bowls for your guests.
Somewhere as small as Coates, food truck hire can mean a garden, a field or a barn. Lanes, gates and long drives are fine if we know about them. Firm ground matters, especially after rain. Every guest is catered for, vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and dairy-free included, and we give allergen information for every dish.

How it compares
Most guests have seen a burger van. Tacos and burritos from a truck feel different while staying easy to eat. When you compare quotes, check what each one includes: service time, staff, plates and napkins, travel and VAT. Our quote sets out what’s included.
Why us?
- Tacos, burritos and a drinks bar
- Access, space and power checked in advance
- Allergen information for everything we serve
- Fast service, even with a queue

Planners, venues and businesses
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.
Hosting a party at home? Send a photo of the space and tell us about access, and we’ll let you know if it’s a good fit.
Before you choose a spot
Many gardens, fields and venues can take a truck or trailer, but a few things matter:
- The landowner’s go-ahead for the truck or trailer
- A way in wide and high enough for the vehicle
- Seating or standing room near the truck
Not sure about your space? Send us a photo and we will tell you honestly before booking.

Your questions about food truck hire in Coates
Can we hire your food truck for a private party in Coates?
Yes, subject to the date and access for the truck or trailer. Let us know about access and where we’d park.
How far is Coates from London?
It’s about 43 miles from central London, and inside the area we cover.
What space does the truck need?
A firm, level spot, a way in that fits the vehicle, and the venue’s agreement. We confirm power and water when you book.
Do you cater for coeliacs?
Yes, we offer gluten-free options, made with corn tortillas. Let us know about coeliac guests in advance so we can talk through how their food is prepared.
Are plates and napkins included?
That is confirmed with each quote. Tell us whether your venue has crockery or you’d prefer disposables.
Can you come to a private house?
That depends on access. If the truck or trailer can’t reach the garden, a drive or a spot nearby may work, with permission. Send us a picture and we’ll talk it through.
How soon do we need to book?
Early, particularly for summer Saturdays. Even if it’s short notice, it is worth asking.
Do you need power and water?
Tell us what the site has, such as a supply from the venue near where we will park, and we’ll confirm what we need with your quote.
What happens on the day
