Food truck hire near Dean
Food truck hire in Dean, served fresh
When you hire our food truck, it serves your guests and nobody else. It’s a private booking, not public trading, so we plan the menu and service times around you. We serve vegan tacos, fresh salsas and guacamole and loaded nachos, and it suits retirement parties and wedding evening food.
For a rural spot like Dean, 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. Food and drinks can be booked together or separately, so the food and drinks can come from one caterer.
Why choose food truck hire in Dean?
For food that becomes part of the event, hiring a Mexican food truck is worth considering in Dean. The cost per head can fall as numbers rise, because the set-up is similar for different sizes of event. Tell us your numbers for an accurate price.

For event organisers in Dean
If you are booking for a business, tell us what your finance team needs, and we’ll talk you through the process. We can work with your facilities team on access and timings.
Events in public spaces, like parks, usually need permission. We’ll provide the information the landowner or council asks for from us.
Step by step
We take care of everything you’ve booked, from set-up to service, so you can spend time with your guests. By late September, it’s dark in Dean at around 7:10pm, so evening service from the truck may run past dusk. In late May, daylight lasts until about 8:55pm.
- Tell us the date, the location, rough numbers and any diets.
- We suggest a menu for the hatch and quote for it.
- Before the day, we agree the spot, the way in, power and water.
- 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.
How to prepare
- Confirm numbers and diets before the day
- Let us know the timings for the day

Should I do it myself?
You can set up your own drinks table, but someone has to serve all evening. Our margarita bar guide has tips.
Plenty of people try a DIY taco night at home. Common snags are cold tortillas, uneven quantities and the host missing the party. If you’d rather enjoy the party, let us serve.
Your questions about food truck hire in Dean
Which station is closest to Dean?
The closest is Botley station, roughly 4.6 miles away.
Will you travel to a small place like Dean?
Yes, we cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about lanes, gates, ground and parking.
Do you provide drinks?
Yes, we offer a Mexican drinks bar, serving margaritas, Mexican beer, aguas frescas such as hibiscus and horchata, and soft drinks. Alcohol at an event may need a licence, such as a premises licence or a Temporary Event Notice, so we’ll go through the licensing with you.
Do you have gluten-free options?
We can, using 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 plan for allergies?
Yes, and it helps to hear about allergies when you book. Under UK rules, caterers must give information on 14 allergens, and we do that for every dish (Food Standards Agency guidance). Anyone with a severe allergy should speak to us before the event.
What do you need at the venue?
Level, firm ground or hardstanding for the truck or trailer, and a route in it can fit through, and the venue’s agreement. We confirm power and water with you for each booking.
How is private hire different from festival trading?
A private hire is booked and quoted for you, and we do not sell to the public. Event organisers should see street food for festivals.
What food and drinks do you offer?
Mexican street food and drinks: tacos, taco bars, burritos, bowls, nachos and quesadillas, with salsas, guacamole and toppings. A drinks bar is available too, with margaritas, Mexican beer and aguas frescas.
