About our food truck hire in Freshwater
The hatch menu is agreed with you: tacos and burritos, with bowls, nachos or quesadillas if you like, finished with salsas and guacamole. It works well for engagement parties and staff appreciation days, with loaded nachos, burritos and quesadillas.
In and around Freshwater, our food truck or trailer can work at home, in a field or at a hall. If the road in is narrow or the ground soft, tell us so we can plan. We prepare everything fresh for your event and serve it straight from our food truck or trailer, so guests get it at its best.

DIY taco night versus a caterer
A DIY taco night is possible for a crowd, but it’s 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.
Plenty of people try a DIY taco night at home. Common snags are cold tortillas, uneven quantities and the host missing the party. If you’d rather enjoy the party, let us serve.
Comparing your options
Hog roasts are popular with meat eaters, but tacos and bowls make vegan, gluten-free and dairy-free guests easier to feed. Catering from a truck or trailer can be a practical alternative to a sit-down meal, because it needs no venue kitchen. Contact us for a quote to compare.

Common questions in Freshwater
Could you come to a seaside event near Freshwater?
We can, given firm ground and the landowner’s permission. Beaches and promenades normally need the council’s agreement, so check that first.
Can you cater a reception after a service at All Saints' Church?
Yes, at a garden, field or venue nearby where the truck or trailer can park. We’d serve at the reception venue rather than at the church itself. Tell us where the reception will be.
Can you do gluten-free food?
Yes, we offer gluten-free options, using corn tortillas. Tell us about any coeliac guests before the event so we can talk through how their food is prepared. See are corn tortillas gluten-free?
How spicy is the food?
The food can be kept mild, with hotter salsas on the side for anyone who wants more heat.
How long do you serve for?
We arrive in good time to set up before service. Serving times are agreed with you in advance.
Can we hire a bar too?
You can add our drinks bar, with margaritas, Mexican beer and aguas frescas. We will talk licensing through with you.
Can we hire the truck for our wedding?
We can serve from the truck for the wedding meal, the evening or both. Timings are agreed with you and your venue. See our food truck wedding guide.
Do you have dairy-free options?
Yes. We offer dairy-free options, and we’ll tell you which dishes contain milk.

If you are unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think.
Dietary needs and planning tips

- Give us separate numbers for children
- Flag any coeliac guests
- Collect diets and allergies with your RSVPs
