Food truck hire for your event in Gaskins
Guests walk up to the hatch, order and take their food away hot. It keeps things easy and relaxed for guests and hosts. At private outdoor parties and back-garden parties, we can serve tacos from the hatch, burrito bowls and loaded nachos.
For a rural spot like Gaskins, food truck hire needs a little planning: gate widths, soft ground and the route from the road all matter. Power and water may be limited, so we confirm the arrangements before the day. We prepare everything fresh for your event and serve it straight from our truck or trailer.

Is food truck hire right for your event?
A hog roast suits meat eaters well, but a Mexican menu covers vegan, gluten-free and dairy-free guests more easily. Pricing depends on the event. A short lunch service for a team is a different job from a full wedding day. Contact us for a quote.

Working with your venue
For repeat events, such as annual staff parties or seasonal fairs, let us know your dates early, so we can check the date.
Planners and coordinators can contact us directly, and we will keep everyone informed on the day.
Step by step
We arrive in good time before service, then set up and prepare everything. When service opens, guests come up to the hatch or serving table. At midsummer, it stays light in Gaskins until about 9:20pm, while late September brings sunset forward to around 7:10pm. In December it’s dark by about 4:00pm, so the queue by the hatch needs lighting.
- Check our availability for your date.
- You get a menu for the hatch and a quote.
- We confirm the parking spot and the route in.
- On the day, guests order at the hatch and we cook to order.
- After service, we close up and leave the spot clear.
Before we arrive
- Tell us about narrow gates or low branches
- Get the venue’s permission for us to park and serve
- Pick a flat, firm spot for us to park

Should I do it myself?
For a small group, a taco night at home can work well. For larger numbers, mixed diets or a wedding, a caterer takes the pressure off, with allergen information for every dish.
You can set up your own drinks table, but someone still has to mix, pour and keep an eye on it all evening. See our margarita bar guide.
