Food truck hire in Highstead
About our food truck hire in Highstead
Pair the truck with our Mexican drinks bar with margaritas, Mexican beer and aguas frescas, with licensing checked with you. A build-your-own taco bar can sit beside the truck too. It suits company away days and big birthdays, serving vegan tacos, quesadillas and fresh salsas and guacamole.
Near Highstead, a hired food truck in a field or garden suits private parties and work away days alike. Guests queue at the hatch, so have some cover ready in case of rain. We’ll check the space, access and power with you before the day, so there are no surprises on arrival.
Should I do it myself?
Some hosts like to do it themselves. The usual problems are cold tortillas, running out of a popular filling and a host stuck at the stove. If you’d rather enjoy the party, let us serve.
For a small group, a taco night at home can work well. For big numbers or lots of diets, a caterer makes life easier, and handles allergen information for you.

Diets, allergies and planning
Allergies and diets are taken seriously. Help us by following these steps:
- Tell us when guests should eat
- Guests with serious allergies should contact us first
- Confirm the venue accepts outside caterers and vehicles
- Check parking and loading rules for street locations
We can serve through rain, but guests will want a covered area to eat.
Loaded nachos to share while the first orders cook are a good way to begin.
How it compares
Cooking yourself saves on catering but costs you the day. With a hired truck, we do the cooking so you can join in. What’s on the menu makes a difference to the total, so share your ideas with us. We will suggest options to suit your budget.

How the day works
The truck or trailer tends to draw a crowd, so we plan a spot with space for people to queue. We can serve in the rain, but guests will need somewhere covered. December events in Highstead lose the light at about 3:50pm, so ask the venue about outdoor lighting where we will park. At midsummer, sunset is around 9:15pm.
- Tell us the date, the location, rough numbers and any diets.
- You get a hatch menu and a quote for the hire.
- Before the day, we agree the spot, the way in, power and water.
- Your guests order at the hatch and we serve hot food at the agreed times.
- After service, we close the hatch, pack down and drive away.
Getting ready for the day
