About our food truck hire in Coldwaltham
Guests walk up to the hatch, order and take their food away hot. It keeps things easy and relaxed for guests and hosts. For leaving parties and family reunions, we’ll put together a menu of tacos from the hatch, burrito bowls and vegan tacos.
In a rural place like Coldwaltham, access is the main thing to plan for a hired truck: the gate, the ground and the distance from the lane. We confirm power and water arrangements with you. We cater for vegan, vegetarian, dairy-free and gluten-free guests, with allergen information for everything we serve.

Should I do it myself?
For a small group, a taco night at home can work well. For big numbers or lots of diets, a caterer makes life easier, with allergen information for every dish.
