Diets, allergies and planning
With a little notice, most diets are easy. Our advice:
- Collect diets and allergies with your RSVPs
- Tell us when guests should eat
- Look into parking permissions if the truck can’t go off-road
- Give us separate numbers for children
We arrive in the agreed window and park where we have arranged. Someone on site to meet us makes it smoother.
Ask us about napkins, plates and cutlery and we’ll confirm the options in your quote.
Food truck hire in Hoaden, served fresh
Everyone orders at the hatch and gets food cooked to order. It keeps things easy and relaxed for guests and hosts. Popular choices include burrito bowls, tacos from the hatch and quesadillas, and it’s a good fit for wedding receptions and milestone birthdays.
Somewhere as small as Hoaden, food truck hire can mean a garden, a field or a barn. Tell us about narrow lanes, gates and long drives. Firm ground matters, especially after rain. We plan the timings around your day, so service starts when you want it.
DIY taco night or a caterer?
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 enjoy the party, let us serve.
Doing it yourself? Start with the quantities: see how many tacos per person. Keep tortillas warm in a covered basket, and label dishes for guests with allergies.
Hoaden: your questions answered
Is Hoaden close to London?
It’s about 60 miles from central London, and inside the area we cover.
Do you cater in villages like Hoaden?
Yes, small places are no problem, given access. Tell us about lanes, gates, ground and parking.
Can you do gluten-free food?
Yes, with corn tortillas. Corn is naturally gluten-free, though some sauces and toppings can contain gluten, so we check every dish and give allergen information.
Are plates and napkins included?
That is confirmed with each quote. Tell us whether your venue has crockery or you’d prefer disposables and we’ll talk it through.
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.
How far ahead should we book?
As early as you can, especially for summer weekends. Even if it is short notice, it’s worth asking.
Do you have vegan options?
Yes, they’re part of the planning from the start. Tell us your numbers when you ask for a quote, and we will keep their options separate.
Can you come to a private house?
It depends on access. If the truck or trailer cannot reach the garden, a drive or a spot nearby may work, with permission. Send us a photo and we will talk it through.
What food truck hire costs
The same guest numbers can mean different prices, because of:
- Whether you add a drinks bar or food
- Timings and hours
- Parking and the route in
- Your choice of food and drinks
Extras, such as more dishes, extra drinks or a longer service, are quoted on request, so you choose what goes in.
What we need to know
When you contact us, it helps to tell us:
- The date and rough timings
- A photo of the space, if it is a garden or field
- Gate widths, slopes and the ground
- Your menu ideas
We need only a few details to quote: the date, where the event is, how many guests and any dietary needs. Contact us for a quote: just tell us about it on our contact page.
About the menu
Burrito bowls
Everything from a burrito, served in a bowl.
Salsas and guacamole

Comparing your options
Cooking yourself saves on catering but costs you the day. With a hired truck, we do the cooking so you can join in. Larger events can cost less per head, because the set-up is similar for different sizes of event. Give us your numbers and we will quote.

Where the truck can go in Hoaden
No two venues are the same, so we ask about the space when you get in touch. Generally, we look for:
- Any parking or loading permission needed for street locations
- Room for guests to gather at the hatch
- Level, solid ground for the vehicle
If you’re unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think.
Popular choices
- Loaded nachos
- Mexican drinks bar
- Tacos
- Burritos
- Burrito bowls
- Quesadillas
Step by step
We need a level, firm spot we can drive the truck or trailer onto, and we agree power and water arrangements before the day. A picture of the space helps. A hired food truck at a summer event in Hoaden can serve in daylight until about 9:15pm at midsummer, while late September brings sunset forward to around 7:00pm. In December it’s dark by about 3:50pm, so the queue by the hatch needs lighting.
- Ask us whether your date is available.
- You get a menu for the hatch and a quote.
- We confirm the parking spot and the route in.
- We drive in, open the hatch and serve your guests.
- We pack down and drive away when service ends.
Preparing for the day
- Give us your final numbers and diets
- Get the venue’s permission for us to park and serve
- Find out what power and water are available
