Food truck hire for your event in Comp
Fillings might include carnitas, al pastor-style pork or chicken tinga, with vegan choices like black bean and sweet potato. There are options for vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and dairy-free guests, and corn tortillas suit gluten-free diets. It works well for private outdoor parties and retirement parties, serving fresh salsas and guacamole, burrito bowls and burritos.
In a small place like Comp, a hired food truck might park in a garden, paddock or field. Lanes, gates and long drives are fine if we know about them. Firm ground matters, especially after rain. Everything is prepared fresh for your event and served from our truck or trailer.
The process
A typical event goes like this: we arrive and set up, we open the hatch when you’re ready, and we serve your guests fresh until service ends. A Christmas party in Comp with a hired food truck will be in the dark from about 3:50pm, so ask the venue about outdoor lighting where we will park. At midsummer, sunset is around 9:20pm.
- Tell us the date, the location, rough numbers and any diets.
- You get a hatch menu and a quote for the hire.
- We confirm the parking spot, access, power and water with you or the venue.
- On the day we drive in, set up and serve to order from the hatch.
- Once guests are fed, we clear our area and head off.
How to prepare
- Pick a flat, firm spot for us to park
- Give us your final numbers and diets
- Let us know who to talk to on the day
How to get a price

Can I do a taco night myself?
Running your own drinks table is one option, but someone still has to mix, pour and keep an eye on it all evening. See our margarita bar guide.
DIY catering keeps costs down, but the host spends the party serving. Booking a caterer means you can relax with everyone else.

Comp: your questions answered
Is Comp close to London?
It’s about 24 miles from central London, and inside the area we cover.
Do you cater in villages like Comp?
Yes. Villages and hamlets are part of our area, and the main thing is access: tell us about the lane, the gate and the ground.
How is the food prepared?
We slow-cook fillings ahead, then finish them and keep them hot at your event. The tortillas are warmed on site, and the salsas and guacamole are made fresh.
Can you come to a private house?
Yes, as long as there is access and a level, firm spot. Send us a photo of the access and the space.
When should we book?
As soon as you have a date. Peak dates go quickly, so it pays to ask early.
What’s on the menu?
Mexican street food and drinks: tacos, taco bars, burritos, bowls, nachos and quesadillas, with salsas, guacamole and toppings. A drinks bar is available too.
What if the weather’s bad?
We can serve from the hatch in the rain. Plan cover for guests, such as a marquee or gazebo, and let us know if the ground gets soft after heavy rain.
Can you plan for allergies?
Yes, and it helps to hear about allergies when you book. UK law requires caterers to provide information on 14 allergens, and we do that for every dish (Food Standards Agency guidance). For severe allergies, please talk to us first.
