Questions from Gatton
How far is Gatton from London?
It is about 17 miles from central London, and inside the area we cover.
Could you serve in Nutfield Marshes?
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 have options for kids?
Of course. Mild dishes, quesadillas and nachos can be part of the menu. Include children in your numbers.
Do you cook on site?
We slow-cook fillings ahead, then finish them and keep them hot at your event. The tortillas are warmed on site, and the salsas and guacamole are made fresh.
Do you have dairy-free options?
Yes. We offer dairy-free options.
What does hiring your food truck involve?
You book the truck or trailer for set hours at your event. We cook, serve and clear away.
Do you have gluten-free options?
We can, using corn tortillas. Corn is naturally gluten-free, though some sauces and toppings can contain gluten, so we plan gluten-free dishes carefully and give allergen information.
How much space do you need?
Access and level ground matter most: a level spot to park, space for guests to queue and a little room for a serving table. If in doubt, send us a photo of the space and the way in.
Food truck hire in Gatton, served fresh
When you hire our food truck, it serves your guests and nobody else. It’s a private booking, not public trading, so the menu and timings are set around your event. It works well for engagements and anniversaries and milestone birthdays, with burritos, fresh salsas and guacamole and tacos from the hatch.
In a small place like Gatton, a hired food truck might park in a garden, paddock or field. Lanes, gates and long drives are fine if we know about them. Firm ground matters, especially after rain. We plan the timings around your day, so service starts when you want it.

What happens on the day
Here’s how the day typically runs: we park up and get ready, we open the hatch when you’re ready, and your guests are served fresh until service ends. Evening events in Gatton stay light until about 9:20pm at midsummer. After that, festoon lights or lamps near the truck help guests order.
- First come the basics: date, location, numbers and diets.
- We suggest a menu for the hatch and quote for it.
- Before the day, we agree the spot, the way in, power and water.
- We arrive, open the hatch and cook to order for your guests.
- Once guests are fed, we clear our area and head off.
Getting ready for the day
- Get the venue’s permission for us to park and serve
- Tell us what power and water the site has
- Let us know the timings for the day

Can I do a taco night myself?
Not sure whether to do it yourself or book a caterer? Consider your numbers, your guests’ diets and your own time. Contact us for a quote to compare.

Everything is served from our food truck or trailer, so where we park matters. These are the things we check:
- A way in wide and high enough for the vehicle
- Level, solid ground for the vehicle
- Arrangements for power and water, agreed when you book
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and the access, and we will advise before you book.
Diets, allergies and planning
Good planning keeps every guest safe and happy. Try these:
- Guests with serious allergies should contact us first
- Count children separately
- Agree service times with us
- Look into parking permissions if the truck can’t go off-road
We can serve through rain, but guests will want a covered area to eat.
Loaded nachos to share while the first orders cook are a good way to begin.
