Food truck hire for your event in Ibthorpe
Truck and trailer service typically suits around 50 to 400 guests. Smaller parties are quoted case by case. On the menu are burritos, quesadillas and fresh salsas and guacamole, and it suits company away days and end-of-year celebrations.
Somewhere as small as Ibthorpe, 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. Access, space and power are agreed with you beforehand, so there are no surprises on arrival.
Before you choose a spot
Everything is served from our truck or trailer, so the spot needs a little planning. These are the things we check:
- A parking suspension, where a street spot is needed
- Power and water, confirmed with each booking
- Agreement from the venue to bring in a catering vehicle
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and the access, and we’ll advise before booking.
Diets, allergies and planning
A Mexican menu is easy to plan for mixed diets, because guests can choose what suits them. Here are a few tips for planning:
- Tell us how many children are coming
- Add a dietary question to the invitation
- Ask the venue about catering vehicles before you book
- Put anyone with a severe allergy in touch with us
Guests come to the hatch, order and wait a short moment for hot food.
Quesadillas make an easy option for children, if you’d like a kids’ choice.
The process
The truck or trailer tends to draw a crowd, so we plan a spot with space for people to queue. Rain doesn’t typically stop us serving, but guests will need somewhere covered. Late-September events in Ibthorpe 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.
- Check our availability for your date.
- We agree a hatch menu and send a quote.
- We confirm the parking spot and the route in.
- On the day, guests order at the hatch and we cook to order.
- After service, we close up and leave the spot clear.
Before we arrive
- Let us know the timings for the day
- Have level hardstanding or firm ground ready
- Tell us what power and water the site has

Ibthorpe: your questions answered
Do you hire out your food truck for parties in places like Ibthorpe?
Yes, as long as we are available on the date and can get the truck or trailer in. Let us know about access and where we’d park.
Could you serve our guests after a service at Church of St Peter?
Yes, at a garden, field or venue nearby where the truck or trailer can park. We’d serve at the reception venue rather than at the church itself. Tell us where the reception will be.
Do you bring plates and cutlery?
That is confirmed with each quote. Let us know what the venue supplies and we’ll talk it through.
How does private food truck hire work?
We bring our food truck or trailer to your venue, park in the agreed spot and serve your guests from the hatch. Only your guests are served.
Do you cater for dietary needs?
Diets are planned with you in advance, though we cannot guarantee there are no traces of any allergen. Guests with severe allergies should talk to us first.
What’s on the menu?
Mexican street food: tacos, taco bars, burritos, bowls, nachos and quesadillas, with salsas, guacamole and toppings. We also run a Mexican drinks bar.
When do you arrive?
That depends on your event and menu. Timings are agreed in advance to suit your day.
Can we hire the truck for our wedding?
The truck or trailer can serve the wedding breakfast, evening food or both. We fit service around your running order. See our food truck wedding guide.

Is food truck hire right for your event?
A private hire is not the same as a festival stall. At a festival we trade to the public; when you hire us, we serve only your guests, on your timings. Pricing depends on the event. A short lunch service for a team is a different job from a full wedding day. Contact us for a quote.

DIY taco night versus 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.
For a small group, a taco night at home can work well. For larger numbers, mixed diets or a wedding, a caterer takes the pressure off, with allergen information for every dish.
