Dietary needs and planning tips
A Mexican menu is easy to plan for mixed diets, because options can be kept separate. A few tips:
- Let us know who is coeliac
- Think about cover if the weather turns
- Ask guests with severe allergies to speak to us beforehand
- Ask the venue about catering vehicles before you book
Running late? Tell us and we will adjust service.

Food truck hire in Holborn, from our truck or trailer
The hatch menu is agreed with you: tacos, burritos, burrito bowls, loaded nachos or quesadillas, finished with salsas and guacamole. On the menu are vegan tacos, tacos from the hatch and quesadillas, and it is a good fit for private outdoor parties and weddings.
Around Holborn, a hired truck or trailer needs a yard, forecourt or drive it can reach. We need a level spot and room for a queue at the hatch, plus your venue’s agreement. We cater for vegan, vegetarian, dairy-free and gluten-free guests, with allergen information for everything we serve.

Before you choose a spot
The route in matters as much as the spot itself. We look for:
- Space in front of the hatch for guests to queue
- Arrangements for power and water, agreed when you book
- The landowner’s go-ahead for the truck or trailer
In Holborn, as everywhere in Greater London, the ULEZ applies and kerb space is limited. Where will the truck or trailer stop? A drive, a courtyard or a suspended bay can all work.
If you’re unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think before you book.
How the day works
We take care of everything you’ve booked, from set-up to service, so you can spend time with your guests. A hired food truck at a summer event in Holborn can serve in daylight until about 9:20pm at midsummer, while late September brings sunset forward to around 7:05pm. For winter events, dark by about 3:55pm, plan lighting where guests queue at the hatch.
- First come the basics: date, location, numbers and diets.
- We suggest a menu for the hatch and quote for it.
- Before the day, we agree the spot, the way in, power and water.
- Your guests order at the hatch and we serve hot food at the agreed times.
- After service, we close the hatch, pack down and drive away.
Getting ready for the day
- Give us a contact for the day
- Confirm the venue allows outside caterers
- Tell us when you want service to start

Can I do a taco night 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: our guide to how many tacos per person helps. Keep tortillas warm in a covered basket, and label anything containing allergens.
