How our food truck hire works in Islip
Pair the truck with our Mexican drinks bar for margaritas, Mexican beer and aguas frescas. We can add a taco-bar station next to the truck. It suits private outdoor parties and retirement parties, serving fresh salsas and guacamole, burritos and quesadillas.
Somewhere as small as Islip, food truck hire can mean a garden, a field or a barn. Lanes, gates and long drives are fine if we know about them. Soft ground after rain is worth mentioning too. We’ll check the space, access and power with you before the day, so set-up goes smoothly.

For event organisers in Islip
If you are booking for a business, tell us what your finance team needs, and we will talk you through the process. We can work with your facilities team on access and timings.
Venues often have their own rules about outside caterers: vehicle access, arrival times and documents. Tell us what your venue needs and we will work to it.
DIY taco night versus a caterer
Some hosts like to do it themselves. Common snags are cold tortillas, uneven quantities and the host missing the party. If you’d rather enjoy the party, let us serve.
You can set up your own drinks table, but someone has to serve all evening. Our margarita bar guide has tips.
Catering for every guest
A Mexican menu is easy to plan for mixed diets, because options can be kept separate. Here are a few tips for planning:
- Ask guests about dietary needs when they reply
- Walk the access route and note narrow gaps
- Confirm the venue accepts outside caterers and vehicles
- Agree service times with us
Running late? Tell us and we will adjust service.
Add a build-your-own taco bar beside the truck for a wedding breakfast or lunch.
What food truck hire costs
Two events with the same number of guests can cost different amounts, because of:
- Whether you add a drinks bar or food
- Guest numbers
- The menu you choose
- Travel, parking and access
Larger events can cost less per head, since the set-up is much the same either way. Give us your numbers and we will quote.
