Food truck hire for your event in Horley
The truck or trailer is a working kitchen on wheels, so your venue doesn’t need a kitchen. What we do need is level ground, a way in and the venue’s agreement, with power and water confirmed per booking. We serve tacos from the hatch, loaded nachos and burritos, and it is a good fit for end-of-year parties and staff summer parties.
Food truck hire in a town like Horley can work at a home with a drive, a hall or club, or a hired venue. All can work, given a way in and level ground. Timings are planned around your event, whether that is speeches, a lunch break or a festival schedule.

The menu, item by item
Burritos
Burritos suit hungry guests and travel well from the hatch.
Burrito bowls
A bowl is a good choice for guests avoiding tortillas, and they’re easy to adapt.

Not sure whether to do it yourself or book a caterer? Think about numbers, diets and how much you want to enjoy the day. Contact us for a quote to compare.
A DIY taco night is possible for a crowd, but it is more work than it looks. There are fillings to slow-cook, tortillas to keep warm and salsas to make. Read our guide to taco bars.
