About our food truck hire in Cold Harbour
Everyone orders at the hatch and gets food cooked to order. It keeps things easy and relaxed for guests and hosts. It suits launch events and staff appreciation days, serving vegan tacos, burritos and tacos from the hatch.
In a small place like Cold Harbour, 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. We serve from the hatch of our truck or trailer, or from a serving station, and we plan service so the queue keeps moving.

- We suggest fillings and dishes for every diet.
- Power, water and timings are agreed with you or the venue.
- Service runs at the times you choose.

DIY taco night versus a caterer
For a small group, a taco night at home can work well. For big numbers or lots of diets, a caterer makes life easier, and handles allergen information for you.
You can set up your own drinks table, but someone has to serve all evening. Our margarita bar guide has tips.
Why choose food truck hire in Cold Harbour?
Booking several street food trucks means juggling several suppliers. One Mexican truck with a varied menu keeps things simple. Got a budget? Let us know, and we’ll suggest a menu that fits. Even a simple menu can feel generous.
Why book with us
- Allergen information for every dish
- A menu agreed with you
- Set-up planned with you and your venue
- Food and drinks from one caterer, if you want both

Cold Harbour: your questions answered
Can you cater a reception after a service at Church of St Lawrence?
Yes. The church itself isn’t 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.
Could we book your food truck for a private event in Cold Harbour?
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.
How long do you serve for?
That depends on your event and menu. We agree arrival, service and pack-down times with you so everything fits your schedule.
Do you provide allergen information for each dish?
Our menus are planned with allergies in mind, nut allergies included, with allergen information for every dish. We plan carefully and keep options separate, though we can’t promise a dish is allergen-free. If a guest has a severe allergy, please talk to us before the event.
Is the truck suitable for a large group?
It depends on the event and how long service runs. As a guide, it is around 50 to 400 guests, so tell us your numbers.
Do you cater for dietary needs?
We plan vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and dairy-free options, and corn tortillas suit gluten-free guests. Allergen information is available for every dish.
What if the weather’s bad?
The truck or trailer can serve in the rain, but your guests will want somewhere covered, like a marquee or gazebo.
Where can the truck park?
A firm, level spot, a way in that fits the vehicle, and the venue’s agreement. We confirm power and water when you book.
