Food truck hire for Gunville events
Food truck hire in Gunville, from our food truck or trailer
Pair the truck with our Mexican drinks bar for margaritas, Mexican beer and aguas frescas, with licensing checked with you. We can add a taco-bar station next to the truck. At client events and product launches and wedding receptions, we’ll put together a menu of quesadillas, tacos from the hatch and burritos for your guests.
Somewhere as small as Gunville, food truck hire can mean a garden, a field or a barn. Tell us about narrow lanes, gates and long drives. Soft ground after rain is worth mentioning too. We plan the timings around your day, whether that’s speeches, a lunch break or a festival schedule.

Before you choose a spot
Before the day, we will agree where we park and serve. It needs to meet a few simple requirements:
- Firm, level ground or hardstanding where the truck or trailer can park
- Agreement from the venue to bring in a catering vehicle
- Parking arrangements if we are not on private land
Out-of-the-way places like Gunville take a little more planning, so let us know about tracks, gates and power in good time.

How it compares
Hog roasts are popular with meat eaters, but a Mexican menu covers vegan, gluten-free and dairy-free guests more easily. Extra dishes, drinks and longer service are priced on request, so you choose what goes in.
Why book with us
- A quote that sets out what’s included
- Allergen-aware menus
- Quick, friendly service from the hatch
- Every guest catered for, gluten-free, dairy-free, vegetarian and vegan included
See our pricing or the cost guide.
Should I do it myself?
You can set up your own drinks table, but someone still has to mix, pour and keep an eye on it all evening. Our margarita bar guide has tips.
Doing it yourself? Start with the quantities: see how many tacos per person. Keep tortillas warm in a covered basket, and label anything containing allergens.
Planners, venues and businesses
For larger events, we plan serving points around your timings, so everyone is served promptly. Let us know how long the break is.
Many venues have rules for outside caterers: where vehicles can park, access times and the paperwork they need. Tell us what your venue needs and we’ll work to it.

The truck or trailer needs firm ground rather than sand or shingle, and seafront spots generally need permission.

- Tell us what the event is and who’s coming.
- We suggest fillings and dishes for every diet.
- Power, water and timings are agreed with you or the venue.
- Service runs at the times you choose.
- Once service ends, we tidy up and go.

FAQs for Gunville
We are having a ceremony at St. Mary's Church: can you cater afterwards?
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. Send us the reception address.
Is it possible to have you in Seaclose Park?
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.
Can you cater for special diets?
We plan vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and dairy-free options, and corn tortillas suit gluten-free guests. Allergen information is available for every dish.
What food and drinks do you offer?
We agree a sample menu with each client. Fillings could include chicken tinga, pork carnitas, al pastor-style pork and vegan options like black beans. Our sample menu has more ideas.
What does it cost to hire the truck?
We quote for every hire, based on guest numbers, the menu, the location and service times. For a price, fill in our quote form.
Do you provide allergen information for each dish?
We plan allergen-aware menus, including for nut allergies, with allergen information for every dish. We plan carefully and keep options separate, though we cannot promise a dish is allergen-free. Guests with severe allergies should talk to us before the event.
Do you offer a bar with the truck?
The drinks bar comes with bar staff and alcohol-free choices. We’ll talk through licensing first.
