Food truck hire for your event in Down Street
Everyone orders at the hatch and gets food cooked to order. It keeps things easy and relaxed. It suits family celebrations and anniversary celebrations, serving quesadillas, burritos and burrito bowls.
In a hamlet or village like Down Street, our truck or trailer can serve a private party or a team day in a field or garden. Guests queue at the hatch, so have some cover ready in case of rain. We serve from the hatch of our truck or trailer, or from a serving station, and we plan the service around your numbers.

If you’re organising for someone else, such as a wedding planner, an office manager or a festival organiser, we’ll work directly with you and the venue. It saves passing messages back and forth.
DIY taco night versus a caterer
Doing it yourself? Start with the quantities: our guide to how many tacos per person helps. Keep warmed tortillas covered, and label dishes for guests with allergies.
You can set up your own drinks table, but someone still has to mix, pour and keep an eye on it all evening. See our margarita bar guide.
How the day works
The truck or trailer tends to draw a crowd, so we plan a spot with space for people to queue. Rain does not usually stop us serving, but guests will need somewhere covered. Evening events in Down Street stay light until about 9:20pm at midsummer. Once it is dark, some lighting near the hatch makes ordering easier.
- First come the basics: date, location, numbers and 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.
Getting ready for the day
- Tell us about narrow gates or low branches
- Have level hardstanding or firm ground ready
- Share the running order, including any speeches

Dietary needs and planning tips
Every guest is catered for, gluten-free, dairy-free, vegetarian and vegan included. To get it right:
- Check gate widths and any height limits
- Ask guests with severe allergies to speak to us beforehand
- Ask about parking rules if we’ll be on a road
- Email us any allergies
Guests order at the hatch and their food is handed out hot.
Our Mexican drinks bar, with margaritas, Mexican beer and aguas frescas can join the truck, with licensing checked with you.
How it compares
Booking several street food trucks means juggling several suppliers. One truck with tacos, burritos and nachos is one booking to manage. Larger events can cost less per head, since the set-up is much the same either way. Tell us your numbers for an accurate price.
