About our food truck hire in Durrants
Guests walk up to the hatch, order and take their food away hot. It is simple, quick and sociable for guests and hosts. It works well for family reunions and weddings, with vegan tacos, quesadillas and fresh salsas and guacamole.
In a rural place like Durrants, access is the main thing to plan for a hired truck: gate widths, soft ground and the route from the road all matter. Power and water may be limited, so we confirm the arrangements before the day. We turn up ready to serve, and tidy our own area afterwards.
The process
Guests tend to gather around the truck, so we plan a spot with space for people to queue. Rain doesn’t normally stop us serving, but guests will need somewhere covered. At midsummer, it stays light in Durrants until about 9:20pm, and by late September sunset is about 7:05pm. For winter events, dark by about 4:00pm, plan lighting where guests queue at the hatch.
- Share your plans for the event.
- We suggest fillings and dishes for every diet.
- Power, water and timings are agreed with you or the venue.
- The truck serves at the agreed times.
- Once service ends, we tidy up and go.
Before we arrive
- Find out what power and water are available
- Check gates and access routes are wide and high enough
- Let us know the timings for the day

Common questions in Durrants
Do you come out to small places like Durrants?
Yes. Villages and hamlets are part of our area, and the main thing is access: tell us about the lane, the gate and the ground.
How far is Durrants from central London?
About 57 miles from central London, and we cover it.
Is food truck hire good for weddings?
Wedding food from a truck feels relaxed and sociable. We agree access and timings with the venue.
Do you provide drinks?
Yes, we offer a Mexican drinks bar, with margaritas, Mexican beer, aguas frescas and soft drinks. Your venue or event may need the right licence for alcohol, so we’ll go through the licensing with you.
Can you come to a private house?
That depends on access. A drive or a spot nearby may work, with permission, if the garden itself is out of reach. Send us a photo and we will talk it through.
Do you cater for dietary needs?
There are vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and dairy-free options, with corn tortillas for gluten-free guests. Every dish has allergen information.
Do you sell to the public at private events?
Private hire means we serve only your guests, with a menu and timings you agree with us. Festival and market trading is open to the public.
Do you cook on site?
We slow-cook fillings ahead, then finish them and keep them hot at your event. Tortillas are warmed on site, and salsas and guacamole are made fresh.
