Food truck hire in Downley, served fresh
Everyone orders at the hatch and gets food cooked to order. It keeps things easy and relaxed. At milestone birthdays and wedding receptions, we will put together a menu of tacos from the hatch, burrito bowls and fresh salsas and guacamole and more.
In a rural place like Downley, access is the main thing to plan for a hired truck: gate widths, soft ground and the route from the road all matter. We confirm power and water arrangements with you. We plan the timings around your day, so service starts when you want it.

FAQs for Downley
What’s the nearest station to Downley for guests?
High Wycombe station, about 1.8 miles south-east of the centre.
Could we book your food truck for a private event in Downley?
Yes, depending on the date. For a private or work event in a village or hamlet, the main thing is access: tell us about the lane, the gate and the ground.
Can you cater for vegetarians and vegans?
Yes, and we plan them in from the start. Let us know how many vegetarian and vegan guests to expect, and we will keep their options separate.
Can you cater in a back garden?
It depends on access. If the truck or trailer cannot reach the garden, a drive or a spot nearby may work, with permission. Send us a picture and we will talk it through.
Do you give allergen information?
Yes. Tell us about allergies when you book. UK law requires caterers to provide information on 14 allergens, and we give it for every dish (Food Standards Agency guidance). For severe allergies, please talk to us first.
How is the food prepared?
Fillings are slow-cooked in advance, then finished and kept hot on site. The tortillas are warmed on site, and the salsas and guacamole are made fresh.
Do you do a taco bar?
We can. We can set up a build-your-own taco bar, served from the truck or a serving table, with fillings, salsas, guacamole and toppings. Read our taco bar guide.
Can you serve in the rain?
The truck or trailer can serve in the rain, but guests need somewhere covered to eat and drink, like a marquee or gazebo.
How we price food truck hire
The price comes down to a few factors:
- What’s on the menu
- Travel, parking and access
- Adding food to drinks, or drinks to food
- What the venue already provides
There’s no one-size-fits-all price for food truck hire. A short lunch service for a team is a different job from a full wedding day. Your quote sets it all out.
What we need to know
A few details help us give you an accurate quote. Here’s what to include:
- Where the event is
- Diets and allergies you know about
- Your date and when you want service to start
- Approximate guest numbers, including children
To get a price, just fill in our quote form. Give us the details of your event, and we’ll put together a menu and price.
Planning for every diet
Dietary needs are easy to plan for with a little notice. We suggest:
- Check early that your venue allows food trucks
- Look into parking permissions if the truck can’t go off-road
- Confirm allergies with us in writing
- Ask guests about dietary needs when they reply
We keep allergen information for every dish at the hatch, so guests can ask before ordering.
Ask us about napkins, plates and cutlery and we’ll confirm what’s possible.
