About our food truck hire in Highwood
Pair the truck with our Mexican drinks bar for margaritas, Mexican beer and aguas frescas, with licensing checked with you. We can add a taco-bar station next to the truck. Popular choices include tacos from the hatch, burritos and loaded nachos, and it suits garden parties and private parties in fields and grounds.
Near Highwood, 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. You will know what’s included before booking: menu, timings and any add-ons.
Working with your venue
For big numbers, we plan service to keep queues short, so guests are looked after quickly. Tell us how long you have for food and drinks.
Planners and coordinators can contact us directly, and we’ll keep everyone informed on the day.
Occasions we cater for in Highwood
It’s a private hire, so the queue is your guests only and the menu suits them.
