Planning for every diet
We cater for vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and dairy-free guests. To get it right:
- Walk the access route and note narrow gaps
- Confirm the venue accepts outside caterers and vehicles
- Tell us how many children are coming
- Have shelter ready in case of rain
We can serve through rain, but guests will want a covered area to eat.
Simple quesadillas suit younger guests, if you’d like a kids’ choice.
About our food truck hire in Fishbourne
Our drinks bar can be hired with the truck with margaritas, Mexican beer and aguas frescas. We can add a taco-bar station next to the truck. It works well for anniversary celebrations and wedding evening food, serving tacos from the hatch, loaded nachos and fresh salsas and guacamole.
In a small place like Fishbourne, a hired food truck might park in a garden, paddock or field. Tell us about narrow lanes, gates and long drives. Firm ground matters, especially after rain. You will know what’s included before you book: menu, timings and any add-ons.

- We check availability and send a menu and a quote for hiring the truck or trailer.
- Where the truck or trailer will stand, the route in, and power and water are all agreed in advance.

Fishbourne questions
Could we book your food truck for a private event in Fishbourne?
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.
We’re having a ceremony at St. Edmund's Church: can you cater afterwards?
Yes. The church itself is not where we’d set up, but a hall, field or garden close by with room for the truck or trailer can work well. Let us know the reception address and we’ll check the access.
How does food truck hire work?
You book the truck or trailer for set hours at your event. We cook to order, serve from the hatch and pack down afterwards.
What does food truck hire cost?
It depends on guest numbers, the menu, the length of service and the location. Send us the details for a quote.
Can guests build their own tacos?
We can. A build-your-own taco bar can be served from the truck or a serving station, with fillings, salsas and toppings to choose from. Read our taco bar guide.
Can you serve in the rain?
We can keep serving from the truck or trailer in the rain, but your guests will want somewhere covered, like a marquee or gazebo.
Do you give allergen information?
Our menus are planned with allergies in mind, nut allergies included, with allergen information for every dish. We plan carefully and keep options separate, though we cannot promise a dish is allergen-free. If a guest has a severe allergy, please talk to us before the event.
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 check every dish and give allergen information.

DIY taco night versus a caterer
You can host your own taco night for a crowd, but it takes planning. There are fillings to slow-cook, tortillas to keep warm and salsas to make. Read our guide to taco bars.
DIY catering keeps costs down, but the host spends the party serving. Booking a caterer means you can relax with everyone else.
