Food truck hire for your event in Hamsey
Food truck hire suits weddings, milestone birthdays and staff events. It works well for parties in venue grounds and staff summer parties, serving burrito bowls, tacos from the hatch and fresh salsas and guacamole.
In a hamlet or village like Hamsey, our food truck or trailer can serve a private party or a team day in a field or garden. Guests order at the hatch, so plan a sheltered spot for the queue in case of rain. We arrive ready to serve, and clear our own area when service is finished.

Space, access and the venue
We serve from a truck or trailer, so where we park matters. Here’s what we look for:
- Firm, level ground or hardstanding where the truck or trailer can park
- Room for guests to gather at the hatch
- Agreement from the venue to bring in a catering vehicle
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and the access, and we’ll advise before you book.
Can I do a taco night myself?
You can set up your own drinks table, but someone still has to mix, pour and keep an eye on it all evening. See our margarita bar guide.
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.
How it works
A typical event goes like this: we arrive and set up, we open the hatch when you’re ready, and your guests are served fresh for the agreed time. Planning a private evening event in Hamsey? Sunset is around 8:50pm in late May and 9:15pm in late June. After that, festoon lights or lamps near the truck help guests order.

Planning for every diet
A Mexican menu is easy to plan for mixed diets, because guests can choose what suits them. A few tips:
- Check parking and loading rules for street locations
- Email us any allergies
- Add a dietary question to the invitation
- Have shelter ready in case of rain
When service ends, we pack away.
A taco-bar station can sit next to the truck for a wedding breakfast or lunch.

Hiring our taco truck near Hamsey

Questions from Hamsey
Is Hamsey close to London?

Will you travel to a small place like Hamsey?
Yes, we cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Let us know about access and parking for the truck or trailer.
Can we add drinks?
We bring bar staff with the drinks bar and alcohol-free choices. Alcohol needs the right licence, which we’ll check with you.
Do you provide drinks?
Yes, we run a Mexican drinks bar, with margaritas, Mexican beer, aguas frescas and soft drinks. Alcohol at an event may need a licence, such as a premises licence or a Temporary Event Notice, so we will talk licensing through with you.

It depends on the event and the set-up, so we confirm power and water arrangements with each booking. Let us know whether there’s a supply near where we will park.
Is the food suitable for children?
Of course. We can keep dishes mild, and simple options such as quesadillas or nachos can be part of the menu. Tell us how many children are coming.
Do you cater for dietary needs?
There are vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and dairy-free options, and corn tortillas suit gluten-free guests. Allergen information is available for every dish.
Can you cater in a back garden?
Yes, as long as there’s access and a level, firm spot. Send us a picture of the access and the space.

Two events with the same number of guests can cost different amounts, depending on:
- What’s on the menu
