About our food truck hire in Coombe
Guests walk up to the hatch, order and take their food away hot. It’s simple, quick and sociable. For company away days and parties in venue grounds, we can serve fresh salsas and guacamole, quesadillas and tacos from the hatch for your guests.
For a rural spot like Coombe, food truck hire needs a little planning: gate widths, soft ground and the route from the road all matter. We confirm power and water arrangements with you. You will know what’s included before booking: menu, timings and any add-ons.
Your questions about food truck hire in Coombe
Is Coombe close to London?
It’s about 62 miles from central London, and inside the area we cover.
Could you serve our guests after a service at Church of St Nicholas?
Yes, at a garden, field or venue nearby where the truck or trailer can park. Service would be at the reception venue, not the church. Tell us where the reception will be.
Do you cater for coeliacs?
Yes, with corn tortillas. Corn tortillas are naturally gluten-free, but some fillings, sauces and toppings may not be, so we plan gluten-free dishes carefully and give allergen information.
Can you cater for vegetarians and vegans?
Yes, they’re part of the planning from the start. Tell us your numbers when you ask for a quote.
What food and drinks do you offer?
Mexican street food: tacos and build-your-own taco bars, burritos, burrito bowls, nachos and quesadillas, with salsas, guacamole and toppings. A drinks bar is available too, with margaritas, Mexican beer and aguas frescas.
Do you have dairy-free options?
Yes, we can. Let us know your dairy-free numbers, and we will plan the menu around them.
How much does food truck hire cost?
We don’t publish set prices, because each hire is different. Tell us your plans and we’ll quote for your event. Our food truck hire guide explains what affects the cost.

- Think about cover if the weather turns

- Check early that your venue allows food trucks
Guests order at the hatch and their food is handed out hot.
Ask us about evening food later on, quoted with the main booking.
