About our food truck hire in Denton

What’s on the menu
Salsas and guacamole
Salsas and guacamole finish every order, from mild to hot.
Quesadillas
A quesadilla suits cautious eaters.
DIY taco night or a caterer?
For a small group, a taco night at home can work well. For big numbers or lots of diets, a caterer makes life easier, and handles allergen information for you.
Not sure whether to do it yourself or book a caterer? Think about numbers, diets and how much you want to enjoy the day. Contact us for a quote to compare.

The process
A typical event goes like this: we arrive and set up, we open the hatch when you’re ready, and we serve your guests fresh until service ends. A Christmas party in Denton with a hired food truck will be in the dark from about 3:55pm, so ask the venue about outdoor lighting where we will park. In late June, it stays light until about 9:15pm.
- Ask us whether your date is available.
- You get a menu for the hatch and 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.
How to prepare
- Give us a contact for the day
- Check gates and access routes are wide and high enough
- Tell us what power and water the site has
Ask for a quote
The quickest way to a quote is to tell us about it on our contact page. Give us the details of your event, and we’ll suggest a menu to suit.

Your questions about food truck hire in Denton
Could you serve in Castle Hill?
Only if the landowner, often the council, allows it. Check with them, and we will provide what they ask for from us.
Is Denton close to London?
It’s about 49 miles from central London, and inside the area we cover.
How is private hire different from festival trading?
At a private hire, we serve your guests and nobody else, on a menu and timings agreed with you. Festival and market trading is open to the public; see our street food catering page.
What guest numbers do you cater for?
Truck and trailer service typically suits around 50 to 400 guests. Smaller gatherings are looked at case by case.
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, and we’ll keep their options separate.
What does hiring your food truck involve?
Our food truck or trailer comes to your venue and serves your guests from the hatch. It’s a private booking for your guests only.
Do you cook on site?
Food is cooked to order in our truck or trailer, or served from a build-your-own taco bar. Slow-cooked fillings are prepared in advance and kept hot on site.
Do you offer a bar with the truck?
You can add our drinks bar, with margaritas, Mexican beer and aguas frescas. Licensing is checked with you.
How we price food truck hire
Every event is priced individually, and the price depends on a few things:
- Travel, parking and access
- Serving staff
- Whether you add a drinks bar or food
- Plates, napkins and cutlery
Extra dishes, drinks and longer service are priced on request, so you can choose what you need.
Details that help
To check availability and price, we need:
- Expected numbers
- A photo of the space, if it is a garden or field
- Gate widths, slopes and the ground
- What you’d like on the menu
It is easy to get a price: tell us the date, place, numbers and any dietary needs. We’ll come back with a clear quote.
Planning for every diet
Mixed diets are straightforward to plan for, because options can be kept separate. Here are a few tips for planning:
- Have shelter ready in case of rain
- Tell us about coeliac guests
- Email us any allergies
- Ask about parking rules if we’ll be on a road
Guests order at the hatch and their food is handed out hot.
