How our food truck hire works in Colt's Hill
You choose the hatch menu with us: tacos, burritos, burrito bowls, loaded nachos or quesadillas, with fresh salsas and guacamole. It suits birthday parties and family celebrations, serving fresh salsas and guacamole, tacos from the hatch and burrito bowls.
Somewhere as small as Colt's Hill, food truck hire can mean a garden, a field or a barn. Tell us about narrow lanes, gates and long drives. Firm ground matters, especially after rain. We turn up ready to serve, and tidy our own area afterwards.
Should I do it myself?
Some hosts like to do it themselves. Common snags are cold tortillas, uneven quantities and the host missing the party. If you’d rather be with your guests, we will do the serving.
A DIY taco night is possible for a crowd, but it’s more work than it looks. Fillings need slow cooking, tortillas need warming as you go, and salsas need making. Read our guide to taco bars.
Colt's Hill questions
Could you serve in Foal Hurst Wood?
Only with permission from whoever runs the park, often the council. Check with them, and we will provide what they ask for from us.
Can we hire your food truck for a private party in Colt's Hill?
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.
Can you cater for special diets?
We plan vegan, vegetarian, dairy-free and gluten-free options, and corn tortillas suit gluten-free guests. Every dish has allergen information.
What does hiring your food truck involve?
You hire the truck or trailer for agreed service times. We cook, serve and clear away.
Is the food suitable for children?
Yes. Mild dishes, quesadillas and nachos can be part of the menu. Include children in your numbers.
Is there a minimum number of guests?
It depends on the menu and how long service runs, but around 50 to 400 guests is the usual range. For anything outside that, ask us.
When do you arrive?
We arrive in good time to set up before service. The length of service is agreed when you book, along with pack-down.
Can you cater in a back garden?
Yes, if the truck or trailer can get in and park on level, firm ground. Send us a photo of the access and the space.
Diets, allergies and planning
A little planning makes sure everyone can eat. Here’s how:
- Have shelter ready in case of rain
- Tell us when guests should eat
- Measure gates and look for low branches on the way in
- Ask about parking rules if we will be on a road
When service ends, we pack away, leaving our spot tidy.
Nachos for sharing at the start are a good way to begin.
Is food truck hire right for your event?
A private hire is not the same as a festival stall. At public events, anyone can buy; a private hire means your guests, your menu and your timings. A food truck can be a practical alternative to plated catering, as there is no kitchen to hire. Ask us for a quote.
