About our food truck hire in Hightown
We cook inside our food truck or trailer, so your venue doesn’t need a kitchen. What we do need is level ground, a way in and the venue’s agreement, with power and water confirmed per booking. At launch events and big birthdays, we can serve vegan tacos, burritos and fresh salsas and guacamole.
In a hamlet or village like Hightown, our food truck or trailer can serve a private party or a team day in a field or garden. Guests queue at the hatch, so have some cover ready in case of rain. We plan the timings around your day, so service starts when you want it.

Planning help
DIY taco night versus a caterer
If you do it yourself, work out quantities first: our guide to how many tacos per person helps. Keep warmed tortillas covered, and label anything containing allergens.
DIY catering keeps costs down, but the host spends the party serving. With a caterer, you get the food and drinks without the work.
Planners, venues and businesses
Events in public spaces, like parks, typically need permission. We will provide the information the landowner or council asks for from us.
For larger events, we plan serving points around your timings, so guests are looked after quickly. Tell us how long you have for food and drinks.
