Food truck hire near Forge Wood
Food truck hire in Forge Wood, served fresh
Food truck hire means our truck or trailer is booked for your guests only. It is a private booking, not public trading, so the menu and timings are set around your event. On the menu are tacos from the hatch, quesadillas and fresh salsas and guacamole, and it suits weddings and private outdoor parties.
In a smaller place like Forge Wood, hiring our food truck for a party at home is often the easiest option: no venue hire, and guests order at the hatch. Tell us about the lane and the drive. You can book food, drinks or both, so one caterer can cover more of the day.

Dietary needs and planning tips
Nearly every event has some special diets. To cater well for them:
- Tell us when guests should eat
- Think about cover if the weather turns
- Tell us about coeliac guests
- Ask guests about dietary needs when they reply
We arrive in the agreed window and park where we have arranged. Someone on site to meet us makes it smoother.
Nachos for sharing at the start are a good way to begin.
Should I do it myself?
Doing it yourself saves money, but the host ends up in the kitchen. Booking a caterer means you can relax with everyone else.
A DIY taco night is possible for a crowd, but it is more work than it looks. There are fillings to slow-cook, tortillas to keep warm and salsas to make. Our taco bar guide explains how.
Forge Wood questions

Can you run a bar?
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’ll talk licensing through with you.

As early as you can, especially for summer weekends. Ask about your date even if it’s soon.
