Food truck hire in High Cross, served fresh
The truck or trailer is a working kitchen on wheels, so there’s no need for kitchen space at the venue. We need a level spot, safe access and the venue’s permission. At back-garden parties and birthday parties, we will put together a menu of fresh salsas and guacamole, quesadillas and burrito bowls for your guests.
In a rural place like High Cross, access is the main thing to plan for a hired truck: gate widths, soft ground and the route from the road all matter. We confirm power and water arrangements with you. Guests are served from our food truck or trailer, or from a serving table nearby, and we plan the service around your numbers.

Prices and what affects them

- Whether you need disposables

Details that help
Here’s what makes a quick, accurate quote possible:
- Approximate guest numbers, including children

- A picture of where we’d park

Getting a quote is simple: share your date, venue, numbers and diets. We will send you a clear quote.
Organising for someone else?
Booking for a company? Tell us what your finance team needs, and we will talk you through the process. We’re happy to liaise with facilities on access and timings.
Venues often have their own rules about outside caterers: where vehicles can park, access times and the paperwork they need. Send us your venue’s requirements and we’ll follow them.
Diets, allergies and planning
Dietary needs are easy to plan for with a little notice. We suggest:
- Check early that your venue allows food trucks
- Email us any allergies
- Check gate widths and any height limits
- Have shelter ready in case of rain
We arrive in the agreed window and park where we’ve arranged. Someone on site to meet us makes it smoother.
Simple quesadillas suit younger guests.
Should I do it myself?
For a small group, a taco night at home can work well. For larger numbers, mixed diets or a wedding, a caterer takes the pressure off, and handles allergen information for you.
Doing it yourself? Start with the quantities: see how many tacos per person. Keep warmed tortillas covered, and label anything containing allergens.
Occasions we cater for in High Cross
