Food truck hire for your event in Gipsy Hill
Everyone orders at the hatch and gets food cooked to order. It is simple, quick and sociable for guests and hosts. We serve vegan tacos, burritos and burrito bowls, and it is a good fit for family reunions and winter staff parties.
Around Gipsy Hill, a hired truck or trailer needs a yard, forecourt or drive it can reach. We need a level spot and room for a queue at the hatch. Food and drinks can be booked together or separately, so one caterer can cover more of the day.

The menu, item by item
Tacos from the hatch
Tacos are quick to serve and easy to eat standing up, and corn tortillas suit gluten-free guests.
Burrito bowls
A bowl is a good choice for guests avoiding tortillas.
Should I do it myself?
Not sure whether to do it yourself or book a caterer? Think about numbers, diets and how much you want to enjoy the day. Contact us for a quote to compare.
A DIY taco night works well for a small group. For larger numbers, mixed diets or a wedding, a caterer takes the pressure off, and handles allergen information for you.

At midsummer, it stays light in Gipsy Hill until about 9:20pm, and by late September sunset is about 7:05pm. For winter events, dark by about 3:55pm, plan lighting where guests queue at the hatch.
- Check our availability for your date.
- We agree a hatch menu and send a quote.
- The spot and the way in are agreed in advance.
- We drive in, open the hatch and serve your guests.
- We pack down and drive away when service ends.
Before we arrive
- Tell us about narrow gates or low branches
- Give us a contact for the day
- Have a marquee or gazebo ready in case of rain
