How we price food truck hire
Your quote will be clear. The main things that affect it are:
- Timings and hours
- Food, drinks or both
- How many staff you need
- The number of people
Cost depends on guest numbers, the menu and the length of service, plus any add-ons and the location. We quote for each event individually.
Getting an accurate quote
We can quote more accurately with a few details. Here’s what’s useful:
- The venue or postcode
- What you’d like on the menu
- Approximate guest numbers, including children
- Diets and allergies you know about
We need only a few details to quote: the date, where the event is, how many guests and any dietary needs. Contact us for a quote: just tell us about it on our contact page.
About our food truck hire in Crawley
We cook inside our truck or trailer, so there’s no need for kitchen space at the venue. What we do need is level ground, a way in and the venue’s agreement, with power and water confirmed per booking. It works well for client events and product launches and private parties in fields and grounds, serving fresh salsas and guacamole, loaded nachos and vegan tacos.
For a rural spot like Crawley, food truck hire needs a little planning: the gate, the ground and the distance from the lane. We confirm power and water arrangements with you. Food and drinks can be booked together or separately, so one caterer can cover more of the day.

How the day works
The truck or trailer needs a level, firm spot with access to drive in, and we agree power and water arrangements before the day. Send us a photo of the space if you are unsure. At midsummer, it stays light in Crawley until about 9:25pm, while late September brings sunset forward to around 7:10pm. For winter events, dark by about 4:00pm, plan lighting where guests queue at the hatch.
- Send us your date, the address, a headcount and dietary needs.
- We suggest a menu for the hatch and quote for it.
- We confirm the parking spot, access, power and water with you or the venue.
- Your guests order at the hatch and we serve hot food at the agreed times.
- Once guests are fed, we clear our area and head off.
Getting ready for the day
- Send us final numbers and dietary needs in good time
- Let us know the timings for the day

DIY taco night versus a caterer
Some hosts like to do it themselves. Common snags are cold tortillas, uneven quantities and the host missing the party. If you’d rather enjoy the party, let us serve.
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.
Working with your venue
Booking for a company? Tell us what your finance team needs, and we will talk you through the process. We are happy to liaise with facilities on access and timings.
For repeat events, such as annual staff parties or seasonal fairs, let us know your dates early, so we can plan ahead.

Tacos from the hatch

Planning the serving area
The route in matters as much as the spot itself. We need:
- Gate widths, overhead branches and soft ground checked in advance
- A clear area for a queue at the hatch
- The venue’s or landowner’s permission for a food truck
If you are unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think before you book.

Food truck hire or something else?
Booking several street food trucks means juggling several suppliers. One Mexican truck with a varied menu keeps things simple. Pricing depends on the event. A short lunch service for a team is a different job from a full wedding day. Your quote sets it all out.
Why book with us
- A plan agreed before the day
- A clear quote
- Tacos, burritos and a drinks bar
- Quick, friendly service from the hatch

Crawley questions
What’s the nearest station to Crawley for guests?
Winchester station, about 4.5 miles south-east of the centre.
Can you cater a reception after a service at Church of St Mary?
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. Send us the reception address.
Is the food made fresh?
Fillings are slow-cooked in advance, then finished and kept hot on site. Tortillas are warmed on site, and salsas and guacamole are made fresh.
Who clears up?
We pack down and leave our area tidy. Let us know the venue’s rules on waste and we’ll talk it through.
Can guests build their own tacos?
We can. We can set up a build-your-own taco bar, served from the truck or a serving table, with fillings, salsas and toppings to choose from. Read our taco bar guide.
Can you keep it mild?
It’s up to you: we can keep it mild and put the hotter salsas on the side. Read more about how spicy Mexican food is.
Do you have options for kids?
Yes, children are welcome. Let us know numbers and ages, and we’ll suggest mild options.
Can you run a bar?
Yes, we run a Mexican drinks bar, serving margaritas, Mexican beer, aguas frescas such as hibiscus and horchata, and soft drinks. Your venue or event may need the right licence for alcohol, so we’ll talk licensing through with you.
