About our food truck hire in Hempstead
We serve when you want us to: a lunchtime window, an evening service or a longer slot through a party. Let us know your running order and we’ll plan around it. On the menu are loaded nachos, vegan tacos and quesadillas, which works well for client events and product launches and back-garden parties.
In and around Hempstead, our food truck or trailer can work at home, in a field or at a hall. Narrow roads and soft ground are fine if we know about them. Your quote sets out what’s included: the menu, the service time and any extras you choose.
How the day works
We arrive in good time before service, then set up and prepare everything. Guests come up to order when service opens. At midsummer, it stays light in Hempstead until about 9:15pm, and by late September sunset is about 7:00pm. For winter events, dark by about 3:50pm, plan lighting where guests queue at the hatch.

Space, access and the venue
Plenty of outdoor spaces and venues work for us, but a few things matter:
- Any parking or loading permission needed for street locations
- Seating or standing room near the truck
- A flat parking spot on firm ground or hardstanding

The menu, item by item
Salsas and guacamole
Guests can add salsa and guacamole to taste, from mild to hot.
Quesadillas
A quesadilla suits cautious eaters.
Planning for every diet
Dietary needs are easy to plan for with a little notice. Our advice:
- Flag any coeliac guests
- Have shelter ready in case of rain
- Confirm the venue accepts outside caterers and vehicles
- Give us separate numbers for children
We arrive in the agreed window and park where we have arranged. Someone on site to meet us makes it smoother.
Quesadillas make an easy option for children.
DIY taco night versus a caterer
Doing it yourself? Start with the quantities: our guide to how many tacos per person helps. Keep warmed tortillas covered, and label anything containing allergens.
You can host your own taco night for a crowd, but it takes planning. Fillings need slow cooking, tortillas need warming as you go, and salsas need making. Our taco bar guide explains how.
Questions from Hempstead
We are having a ceremony at All Saints Church: can you cater afterwards?
Yes, at a nearby garden, marquee or hall with access for the truck or trailer. We’d serve at the reception venue rather than at the church itself. Tell us where the reception will be.
Is it possible to have you in South Wood?
Only if the landowner, often the council, allows it. Check with them, and we will provide what they ask for from us.
What areas do you cover?
We cover London and the South East, Medway included. Find your area.
How much does food truck hire cost in Hempstead?
Every event is quoted individually, based on what you actually need. Tell us your date and numbers for a clear quote.
Do you cater for dietary needs?
We plan for diets before the day, but we cannot promise an allergen-free kitchen. Anyone with a severe allergy should contact us before the event.
What’s on the menu?
Mexican street food: tacos, taco bars, burritos, bowls, nachos and quesadillas, plus salsas, guacamole and toppings. A drinks bar is available too.
When should we book?
Early, particularly for summer Saturdays. Even if it is short notice, it is worth asking.
Where can the truck park?
Send us the address and a description of the spot, and we will check the access. There’s more in our space and power guide.
Is food truck hire right for your event?
Burger and pizza vans are familiar. A Mexican food truck offers something less expected. Extra dishes, drinks and longer service are priced on request, so you can choose what you need.
Why us?
- Allergen information for every dish
- A quote that sets out what’s included
- Served fresh from our truck or trailer
- Every guest catered for, vegan, vegetarian, dairy-free and gluten-free included
