How our food truck hire works in Grain
When you hire our food truck, it serves your guests and nobody else. Unlike a stall at a festival or market, it is a private hire, so we plan the menu and service times around you. It suits staff appreciation days and private parties in fields and grounds, serving quesadillas, tacos from the hatch and burrito bowls.
In a rural place like Grain, access is the main thing to plan for a hired truck: 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’ll check the space, access and power with you before the day, so set-up goes smoothly.
How the day works
It’s a relaxed, well-organised set-up. Arrival and serving times are agreed beforehand, get the serving area ready, and serve without fuss. At midsummer, it stays light in Grain until about 9:15pm, while late September brings sunset forward to around 7:00pm. For winter events, dark by about 3:50pm, plan lighting where guests queue at the hatch.
- Ask us whether your date is available.
- 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.
Getting ready for the day

Planning the serving area
The route in matters as much as the spot itself. We look for:
- Level, solid ground for the vehicle
- A place for guests to eat close to the hatch
- Agreement from the venue to bring in a catering vehicle
If you’re unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think.

DIY taco night versus a caterer
Doing it yourself saves money, but the host ends up in the kitchen. With a caterer, you get the food and drinks without the work.
Plenty of people try a DIY taco night at home. The usual problems are cold tortillas, running out of a popular filling and a host stuck at the stove. If you’d rather enjoy the party, let us serve.
