Food truck hire near Hillborough
About our food truck hire in Hillborough
Guests walk up to the hatch, order and take their food away hot. It keeps things easy and relaxed for guests and hosts. It suits company away days and leaving dos and retirements, serving tacos from the hatch, vegan tacos and burrito bowls.
Hire our food truck for an event near Hillborough and the kitchen comes with it; we just need level ground, access and the venue’s permission. We plan the timings around your day, whether that is speeches, a lunch break or a festival schedule.

- A clear area for a queue at the hatch
- A place for guests to eat close to the hatch
If you’re unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think.

Your questions about food truck hire in Hillborough
How far is Hillborough from central London?
Roughly 55 miles from the centre of London, and we cover it.
Can you cater a reception after a service at Church of St Mary the Virgin?
Yes, at a nearby garden, marquee or hall with access for the truck or trailer. Service would be at the reception venue, not the church. Send us the reception address.
How long are you on site?
That depends on your event and menu. Timings are agreed in advance so everything fits your schedule.
Is the food made fresh?
We slow-cook fillings ahead, then finish them and keep them hot at your event. Tortillas are warmed on site, and salsas and guacamole are made fresh.
Do you come to Hillborough?
Yes, we do. Hillborough is one of the places we cover. Tell us your date and we will check availability.
How much is a food truck for an event?
Every event is quoted individually, based on what you actually need. Give us your date, numbers and menu ideas for a clear quote.
Do you do food truck hire for weddings?
We can serve from the truck for the wedding meal, the evening or both. We fit service around your running order. Read more in having a food truck at a wedding.
Do you provide drinks?
Yes, we run a Mexican drinks bar, serving margaritas, Mexican beer, aguas frescas such as hibiscus and horchata, and soft drinks. Your venue or event may need the right licence for alcohol, so we will check the licensing with you.

How the day works
Here’s how the day usually runs: we arrive and set up, we open the hatch when you’re ready, and we serve your guests fresh until service ends. A Christmas party in Hillborough with a hired food truck will be in the dark from about 3:50pm, so ask the venue about outdoor lighting where we will park. In late June, it stays light until about 9:15pm.
- Ask us whether your date is available.
- You get a menu for the hatch and a quote.
- The spot and the way in are agreed in advance.
- On the day, guests order at the hatch and we cook to order.
- After service, we close up and leave the spot clear.
Preparing for the day
