Food truck hire near Flishinghurst
DIY taco night or a caterer?
You can set up your own drinks table, but someone still has to mix, pour and keep an eye on it all evening. Our margarita bar guide has tips.
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 enjoy the party, let us serve.
How our food truck hire works in Flishinghurst
As a guide, hiring the truck or trailer suits around 50 to 400 guests. Smaller gatherings are looked at case by case, so tell us how many you expect. We serve fresh salsas and guacamole, burritos and vegan tacos, which works well for end-of-year parties and client events and product launches.
In a rural place like Flishinghurst, access is the main thing to plan for a hired truck: the gate, the ground and the distance from the lane. Power and water may be limited, so we confirm the arrangements before the day. Your quote sets out what’s included: menu, timings and any add-ons.
Organising for someone else?
If you’re booking for a business, tell us what your finance team needs, and we will talk you through the process. We can work with your facilities team on access and timings.
Planners and coordinators can contact us directly, and we will keep you updated on timings and set-up.

Questions from Flishinghurst
Will you travel to a small place like Flishinghurst?
Yes, small places are no problem, given access. Let us know about access and parking for the truck or trailer.
Is it possible to have you in Crane Valley?
It depends on the park’s owner, who would need to agree to a catering vehicle on site. Ask them first; if they say yes, we’ll send what they need from us.
Do you bring plates and cutlery?
Ask us when you enquire. Let us know what you already have, and we’ll set out plates, napkins and cutlery in your quote.
How spicy is the food?
The food can be kept mild, and hotter salsas go on the side for guests who like heat.
Do you provide drinks?
Yes, we run a Mexican drinks bar, serving margaritas, Mexican beer, aguas frescas such as hibiscus and horchata, and soft drinks. Alcohol at an event may need a licence, such as a premises licence or a Temporary Event Notice, so we will go through the licensing with you.
Do you do food truck hire for weddings?
Wedding food from a truck feels relaxed and sociable. We agree access and timings with the venue.
Do you need electricity?
Tell us what the site has, for instance a supply from the venue, and we will confirm the arrangements with your quote.
How does private food truck hire work?
You hire the truck or trailer for agreed service times. We cook to order, serve from the hatch and pack down afterwards.
What food truck hire costs
Each event is quoted on its own, and the price depends on a few things:
- Adding food to drinks, or drinks to food
- Travel, parking and access
- How long we’re needed on site
- Plates, napkins and cutlery
If you have a budget in mind, tell us, and we will suggest a menu to match. Even a simple menu can feel generous.
Details that help
You don’t need everything decided to ask for a quote, but it helps to know:
- The date and rough timings
- What power and water the site has
- Your menu ideas
- Where the event is
We need only a few details to quote: date, location, guest numbers and diets. To send them, send a quick message through our quote form.
How it works
Guests tend to gather around the truck, so we’ll help you choose a spot with room for a queue. Rain does not usually stop us serving, but guests will need somewhere covered. Late-September events in Flishinghurst see sunset at about 7:00pm, so evening service from the truck may run past dusk. A late-May event keeps its light until roughly 8:50pm.
- Share your plans for the event.
- Together we plan dishes that cover your guests’ diets.
- Power, water and timings are agreed with you or the venue.
- The truck serves at the agreed times.
- When everyone is fed, we clear our area.
Before we arrive
- Pick a flat, firm spot for us to park
- Check the venue is happy to have a truck or trailer on site
- Confirm numbers and diets before the day
