Food truck hire in Hillhead, served fresh
We serve when you want us to: a set lunch hour, an evening slot or a few hours through a party. Tell us when guests should eat and we’ll plan around it. At winter staff parties and wedding receptions, we can serve burritos, loaded nachos and burrito bowls.
In a small place like Hillhead, a hired food truck might park in a garden, paddock or field. Lanes, gates and long drives are fine if we know about them. Soft ground after rain is worth mentioning too. We turn up ready to serve, and tidy our own area afterwards.
What we need at the venue
Before the day, we will agree where we park and serve. It needs to meet a few simple requirements:
- Agreement from the venue to bring in a catering vehicle
- Power and water details confirmed in advance
- A spot away from neighbours

The process
We arrive in good time before service, set up the truck or trailer and get everything ready. Guests come up to order when service opens. Late-September events in Hillhead see sunset at about 7:10pm, so evening service from the truck may run past dusk. A late-May event keeps its light until roughly 8:55pm.
- Tell us the date, the location, rough numbers and any diets.
- We suggest a menu for the hatch and quote for it.
- Where the truck or trailer will stand, the route in, and power and water are all agreed in advance.
- Your guests order at the hatch and we serve hot food at the agreed times.
- Once guests are fed, we clear our area and head off.

Prices and what affects them
Every event is priced individually, and the price depends on a few things:

- Adding food to drinks, or drinks to food
- The number of people
- What’s on the menu
The price depends on guest numbers, the menu and how long you’d like us to serve, along with extras and where your event is. Every event gets its own quote.

- Vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free, dairy-free and allergy numbers
- Roughly how many adults and children
- Your date and when you want service to start

Should I do it myself?
Plenty of people try a DIY taco night at home. Common snags are cold tortillas, uneven quantities and the host missing the party. If you’d rather be with your guests, we’ll do the serving.
Doing it yourself? Start with the quantities: see how many tacos per person. Keep warmed tortillas covered, and label dishes for guests with allergies.
