Food truck hire in Compton, from our food truck or trailer
You could pick fillings such as chicken tinga, carnitas or beef birria, with vegan choices like black bean and sweet potato. We plan for vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and dairy-free guests, and corn tortillas suit gluten-free diets. We serve vegan tacos, burrito bowls and fresh salsas and guacamole, and it suits summer parties at home and launch events.
Near Compton, a hired food truck in a field or garden suits private parties and work away days alike. Guests queue at the hatch, so have some cover ready in case of rain. Guests are served from our truck or trailer, or from a serving table nearby, and we plan service so the queue keeps moving.
What’s on the menu
Loaded nachos
A tray of nachos works as a starter or a late snack.
Burrito bowls
Rice, beans, a filling and toppings in a bowl.
How it works
Your timings come first. If speeches run late or the photos take longer, let us know and we’ll adjust where we can. December events in Compton lose the light at about 3:55pm, so ask the venue about outdoor lighting where we will park. At midsummer, sunset is around 9:20pm.
- Check our availability for your date.
- We agree a hatch menu and send a quote.
- We confirm the parking spot and the route in.
- On the day, guests order at the hatch and we cook to order.
- After service, we close up and leave the spot clear.
Before we arrive
- Check gates and access routes are wide and high enough
- Have level hardstanding or firm ground ready
- Let us know the timings for the day

Compton questions
Could you serve in Pucks Oak Barn and McAlmont Reserves?
Only if the landowner, often the council, allows it. Check with them, and we will provide what they ask for from us.
Can we hire your food truck for a private party in Compton?
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.
Which areas do you serve?
We cover London and the South East, Surrey included. See all areas.
What space does the truck need?
Level, firm ground or hardstanding, access wide and high enough to drive in, and the venue’s permission. We confirm power and water when you book.
Do you provide drinks?
Yes, we run a Mexican drinks bar, with margaritas, Mexican beer, aguas frescas and soft drinks. Your venue or event may need the right licence for alcohol, so we will check the licensing with you.
What guest numbers do you cater for?
It depends on the event and how long service runs. Most bookings fall around 50 to 400 guests.
Do you cook on site?
Food is cooked to order in our food truck or trailer, or served from a build-your-own taco bar. Slow-cooked fillings are prepared in advance and kept hot on site.
How is private hire different from festival trading?
A private hire is booked and quoted for you, and we don’t sell to the public. Organisers wanting us to trade at their event can see our festival page.

Prices and what affects them

Can I do a taco night myself?
A DIY taco night works well for a small group. 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 still has to mix, pour and keep an eye on it all evening. Our margarita bar guide has tips.
How it compares
A private hire is not the same as a festival stall. At a festival we trade to the public; a private hire means your guests, your menu and your timings. Cost depends on guest numbers, the menu and the length of service, along with extras and where your event is. Every event gets its own quote.
