How our food truck hire works in Hambledon
We serve when you want us to: a lunchtime window, an evening service or a longer slot through a party. Tell us when guests should eat. Popular choices include burrito bowls, tacos from the hatch and burritos, which works well for engagement parties and leaving parties.
Near Hambledon, a hired food truck in a field or garden suits private parties and work away days alike. Guests order at the hatch, so plan a sheltered spot for the queue in case of rain. We prepare everything fresh for your event and serve it straight from our truck or trailer, so guests get it at its best.
Diets, allergies and planning
A Mexican menu is easy to plan for mixed diets, because options can be kept separate. Here are a few tips for planning:
- Tell us when guests should eat
- Measure gates and look for low branches on the way in
- Ask the venue about catering vehicles before booking
- Give us separate numbers for children
At the end of service, we close the hatch and pack down and drive off quietly.
Margaritas, Mexican beer and aguas frescas from our drinks bar can be added to the booking, with licensing checked with you.

The process
When service finishes, we pack up and leave our area tidy. Set-up and pack-down times are agreed with you and the venue. At midsummer, it stays light in Hambledon until about 9:20pm, and by late September sunset is about 7:10pm. In December it is dark by about 4:00pm, so the queue by the hatch needs lighting.
- Tell us the date, the location, rough numbers and any diets.
- We suggest a menu for the hatch and quote for it.
- We confirm the parking spot, access, power and water with you or the venue.
- We arrive, open the hatch and cook to order for your guests.
- After service, we close the hatch, pack down and drive away.
Getting ready for the day
- Have level hardstanding or firm ground ready
- Measure any gates or arches on the way in
- Give us a contact for the day

DIY taco night versus a caterer
If you do it yourself, work out quantities first: see how many tacos per person. Keep tortillas warm in a covered basket, and label dishes for guests with allergies.
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.
