About our food truck hire in Duddleswell

You could pick fillings such as chicken tinga, carnitas or beef birria, with vegan choices like black bean and sweet potato. There are options for gluten-free, dairy-free, vegetarian and vegan guests. For milestone birthdays and staff appreciation days, we can serve tacos from the hatch, burrito bowls and quesadillas.

In a small place like Duddleswell, a hired food truck might park in a garden, paddock or field. Lanes, gates and long drives are fine if we know about them. Firm ground matters, especially after rain. Every guest is catered for, vegan, vegetarian, dairy-free and gluten-free included, and we give allergen information for every dish.

Questions to ask before booking

DIY taco night or a caterer?

Doing it yourself saves money, but the host ends up in the kitchen. Booking a caterer means you can relax with everyone else.

Plenty of people try a DIY taco night at home. 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.

What happens on the day

We work to your timings. If speeches run late or the photos take longer, let us know and we’ll adjust where we can. Evening events in Duddleswell stay light until about 9:20pm at midsummer. Once it is dark, some lighting near the hatch makes ordering easier.

  1. Ask us whether your date is available.
  2. You get a menu for the hatch and a quote.
  3. We confirm the parking spot and the route in.
  4. On the day, guests order at the hatch and we cook to order.
  5. We pack down and drive away when service ends.

How to prepare

  • Give us your final numbers and diets
  • Tell us what power and water the site has
  • Share the running order, including any speeches

Comparing your options

A private hire is not the same as a festival stall. At a festival we trade to the public; when you hire us, we serve only your guests, on your timings. A food truck can be a practical alternative to plated catering, as there’s no kitchen to hire. Contact us for a quote to compare.

What we offer in Duddleswell

  • Allergen information for every dish
  • Food and drinks from one caterer, if you want both
  • Served fresh from our food truck or trailer
  • Menus chosen with you

Read our prices page or our guide to catering costs.

Planning for every diet

We cater for vegan, vegetarian, dairy-free and gluten-free guests. 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 will be on a road
  • Have shelter ready in case of rain

Wet weather doesn’t close the hatch, but guests will want a covered area to eat.

Margaritas, Mexican beer and aguas frescas from our drinks bar can join the truck.

What’s on the menu

Burrito bowls

Bowls suit anyone skipping tortillas, and they’re easy to adapt.

Tacos from the hatch

A taco is ideal food from a truck.

Duddleswell questions

How far is Duddleswell from London?

It is about 33 miles from central London, and inside the area we cover.

Could we book your food truck for a private event in Duddleswell?

Yes, subject to the date and access for the truck or trailer. Tell us about the lane, gates, ground and parking.

Can you do gluten-free food?

Yes, with corn tortillas. Corn is naturally gluten-free, though some sauces and toppings can contain gluten, so we plan gluten-free dishes carefully and give allergen information.

How much space do you need?

A level, firm spot for the truck or trailer, with access wide and high enough to drive in, and the venue’s agreement. Power and water arrangements are confirmed with each booking.

Do you give allergen information?

Yes, and it helps to hear about allergies when you book. Under UK rules, caterers must give information on 14 allergens, and we do that for every dish (Food Standards Agency guidance). For severe allergies, please talk to us first.

How spicy is the food?

That’s your choice: we can keep the main dishes mild, with hotter salsas served separately. Read more about how spicy Mexican food is.

Do you sell to the public at private events?

A private hire is booked and quoted for you, so we don’t serve passers-by. Organisers wanting us to trade at their event can see our festival page.

Can we have a build-your-own taco bar?

Yes, a taco bar is one of the ways we serve. Tell us about your space and numbers and we will suggest the best set-up.
