Food truck hire in Elmhurst, from our truck or trailer
The hatch menu is agreed with you: tacos and burritos, with bowls, nachos or quesadillas if you like, finished with salsas and guacamole. It suits end-of-year celebrations and big birthdays, serving vegan tacos, tacos from the hatch and quesadillas.
For a place the size of Elmhurst, food truck hire at your own home is often simplest: no venue hire, and guests order at the hatch. Tell us about the lane and the drive. Timings are planned around your event, whether that is speeches, a lunch break or a festival schedule.

DIY taco night versus a caterer
Some hosts like to do it themselves. The usual problems are cold tortillas, running out of a popular filling and a host stuck at the stove. If you’d rather be with your guests, we’ll do the serving.
Running your own drinks table is one option, but someone has to serve all evening. See our margarita bar guide.

The process
A typical event goes like this: we arrive and set up, service opens at the agreed time, and we serve your guests fresh until service ends. Planning a private evening event in Elmhurst? Sunset is around 8:55pm in late May and 9:25pm in late June. After that, festoon lights or lamps near the truck help guests order.
