Food truck hire for Donkey Street events
About our food truck hire in Donkey Street
Guests walk up to the hatch, order and take their food away hot. It’s simple, quick and sociable for guests and hosts. It suits christenings and family parties and winter staff parties, serving burritos, quesadillas and burrito bowls.
In a hamlet or village like Donkey Street, our food truck or trailer can serve a private party or a team day in a field or garden. Guests order at the hatch, so plan a sheltered spot for the queue in case of rain. We turn up ready to serve, and tidy our own area afterwards.
Working with your venue
For big numbers, we plan service to keep queues short, so guests are looked after quickly. Tell us how long you have for food and drinks.
If you’re planning an event on someone’s behalf, whether you are a planner, an office manager or an event organiser, we’ll work directly with you and the venue. It saves passing messages back and forth.
Planning the serving area
If a space isn’t suitable, we’ll tell you, and help find another spot. What matters most:
- Any parking or loading permission needed for street locations
- Some space between the truck and nearby homes
- Somewhere for guests to sit or stand and eat
If you are unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think.
What we offer
- Quesadillas
- Burrito bowls
- Mexican drinks bar
- Burritos
- Loaded nachos
- Tacos
What happens on the day
We arrive in good time before service, set up the truck or trailer and get everything ready. When service opens, guests come up to the hatch or serving table. By late September, it’s dark in Donkey Street at around 7:00pm, so evening service from the truck may run past dusk. In late May, daylight lasts until about 8:45pm.
- Send us your date, the address, a headcount and dietary needs.
- We check availability and send a menu and a quote for hiring the truck or trailer.
- We confirm the parking spot, access, power and water with you or the venue.
- On the day we drive in, set up and serve to order from the hatch.
- After service, we close the hatch, pack down and drive away.
Preparing for the day
- Check the venue is happy to have a truck or trailer on site
- Arrange somewhere covered for guests to eat
- Ask the venue about power and water

Questions from Donkey Street
Can we hire your food truck for a private party in Donkey Street?
Yes, subject to the date and access for the truck or trailer. Tell us about the lane, gates, ground and parking.
Could you come to a seaside event near Donkey Street?
Yes, as long as the site allows it and the ground is firm. Seafront and beach spots typically need permission, and wind is the main thing to plan for.
What about vegan and gluten-free guests?
We plan for diets before the day, though we cannot guarantee there are no traces of any allergen. Anyone with a severe allergy should contact us before the event.
Are plates and napkins included?
We confirm that with your quote. Let us know what the venue supplies and we’ll talk it through.
Can you cater for vegetarians and vegans?
Yes. Vegetarian and vegan fillings, such as spiced mushrooms or black beans, can be part of the menu.
Can you keep it mild?
That’s your choice: we can keep it mild and put the hotter salsas on the side. Read more about how spicy Mexican food is.

How it compares
A marquee kitchen with plated service needs more space, more staff and more time. A food truck arrives as a kitchen and serves from the hatch. Extras, such as more dishes, extra drinks or a longer service, are quoted on request, so you can choose what you need.

DIY taco night versus a caterer
Doing it yourself saves money, but the host ends up in the kitchen. With a caterer, you get the food and drinks without the work.
A DIY taco night is possible for a crowd, but it’s more work than it looks. There are fillings to slow-cook, tortillas to keep warm and salsas to make. Read our guide to taco bars.
Occasions we cater for in Donkey Street
People eat when they’re hungry, rather than all at once.
