Food truck hire in Cove
Step by step
A typical event goes like this: we arrive and set up, service opens at the agreed time, and your guests are served fresh until service ends. At midsummer, it stays light in Cove until about 9:25pm, while late September brings sunset forward to around 7:05pm. For winter events, dark by about 3:55pm, plan lighting where guests queue at the hatch.
- Share your plans for the event.
- We suggest fillings and dishes for every diet.
- Power, water and timings are agreed with you or the venue.
- Service runs at the times you choose.
- Once service ends, we tidy up and go.
How to prepare
- Tell us about narrow gates or low branches
- Have a marquee or gazebo ready in case of rain
- Pick a flat, firm spot for us to park
How to get a price
To get a price, just drop us a line using the enquiry form. Tell us about your event in Cove, and we will suggest a menu to suit.

How our food truck hire works in Cove
Food truck hire means our truck or trailer is booked for your guests only. Unlike a stall at a festival or market, it is a private hire, so the menu and timings are set around your event. At engagement parties and summer parties at home, we can serve fresh salsas and guacamole, loaded nachos and burrito bowls.
In a smaller place like Cove, hiring our food truck for a party at home is often the easiest option: no venue to book, and guests order straight from the hatch. Let us know about the route to the house. Every guest is catered for, vegan, vegetarian, dairy-free and gluten-free included, and we give allergen information for every dish.
Where the truck can go in Cove
We’ll be honest if a space won’t work, and help find another spot. The main points are:
- The venue’s or landowner’s permission for a food truck
- A clear area for a queue at the hatch
- A flat parking spot on firm ground or hardstanding
If you are unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think before you book.
What we offer
- Tacos
- Quesadillas
- Mexican drinks bar
- Burritos
- Loaded nachos
- Burrito bowls
Dietary needs and planning tips
Nearly every event has some special diets. To cater well for them:
- Check gate widths and any height limits
- Confirm allergies with us in writing
- Let us know who is coeliac
- Guests with serious allergies should contact us first
Wet weather doesn’t close the hatch, but guests will want a covered area to eat.
Ask us about evening food later on, quoted with the main booking.

Common questions in Cove
We’re having a ceremony at St John the Baptist: can you cater afterwards?
Yes. The church itself isn’t where we’d set up, but a hall, field or garden close by with room for the truck or trailer can work well. Let us know the reception address and we will check the access.
How far is Cove from central London?
About 33 miles from central London, and well within our area.
What do you serve?
Mexican street food: tacos and build-your-own taco bars, burritos, burrito bowls, nachos and quesadillas, with salsas, guacamole and toppings. We also run a Mexican drinks bar, with margaritas, Mexican beer and aguas frescas.
Can you cater for guests who avoid dairy?
Yes, on request. Tell us how many guests need dairy-free food, and we will include them in the plan.
Do you cater for vegetarian guests?
Yes, they’re part of the planning from the start. Tell us your numbers when you ask for a quote, and we’ll keep their options separate.
What does it cost to hire the truck?
We don’t publish set prices, because each hire is different. Tell us your plans and we will quote for your event. See the Mexican catering cost guide for background.
How big an event can you cater?
It depends on the menu and how long service runs, but our truck and trailer service generally suits around 50 to 400 guests. Tell us your numbers and we will advise.
Is the food suitable for children?
Yes, children are easy to plan for. Tell us how many and roughly how old, and we’ll plan the menu with them in mind.
Organising for someone else?
If you run the same event each year, tell us your dates early, so we can check the date.
For big numbers, we plan service to keep queues short, so guests are looked after quickly. Let us know how long the break is.
