How our food truck hire works in Denton
As a guide, hiring the truck or trailer suits around 50 to 400 guests. Smaller parties are quoted case by case. At retirement parties and launch events, we will put together a menu of burritos, fresh salsas and guacamole and vegan tacos and more.
For a place the size of Denton, food truck hire at your own home is often simplest: no venue hire, and guests order at the hatch. Tell us about the lane and the drive. We cater for gluten-free, dairy-free, vegetarian and vegan guests, and we give allergen information for every dish.
Dietary needs and planning tips
Every guest is catered for, vegan, vegetarian, dairy-free and gluten-free included. To make it work smoothly:
- Tell us about coeliac guests
- Walk the access route and note narrow gaps
- Confirm the venue accepts outside caterers and vehicles
- Ask guests with severe allergies to speak to us beforehand
If your timings move, let us know and we will adjust service.
Quesadillas make an easy option for children, if you’d like a kids’ choice.

Can you run a bar?
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 check the licensing with you.

We plan gluten-free, dairy-free, vegetarian and vegan options, with corn tortillas for gluten-free guests. Allergen information is available for every dish.
What happens on the day
Your timings come first. If things run behind, tell us and we will adjust the start of service where we can. A hired food truck at a summer event in Denton can serve in daylight until about 9:20pm at midsummer, while late September brings sunset forward to around 7:00pm. In December it’s dark by about 3:50pm, so the queue by the hatch needs lighting.
- Tell us what the event is and who’s coming.
- We suggest fillings and dishes for every diet.
- We check power, water and timings with the venue.
- Service runs at the times you choose.
- When everyone is fed, we clear our area.

What food truck hire costs
These are the factors that matter most:
- Adding food to drinks, or drinks to food
- Your choice of food and drinks
- The length of service
- Plates, napkins and cutlery
A food truck can be a practical alternative to plated catering, because it needs no venue kitchen. Contact us for a quote to compare.
Details that help
For a quote, it helps to have:
- The date and time of the event
- Any dietary needs and allergies
- Gate widths, slopes and the ground
- Roughly how many adults and children
We need only a few details to quote: date, location, guest numbers and diets. To send them, tell us about it on our contact page.
Space, access and the venue
We’ll agree the spot with you before the day. A good spot ticks these boxes:
- Level, solid ground for the vehicle
- Somewhere for guests to sit or stand and eat
- Any parking or loading permission needed for street locations
If you are unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think before you book.
Can I do a taco night myself?
Some hosts like to do it themselves. The usual problems are cold tortillas, running out of a popular filling and a host stuck at the stove. If you’d rather enjoy the party, let us serve.
Doing it yourself? Start with the quantities: see how many tacos per person. Keep warmed tortillas covered, and label dishes for guests with allergies.
