Food truck hire in John's Cross, from our truck or trailer
We cook inside our truck or trailer, so your venue does not need a kitchen. We need a level spot, safe access and the venue’s permission. On the menu are quesadillas, vegan tacos and loaded nachos, which works well for engagements and anniversaries and launch events.
In a rural place like John's Cross, access is the main thing to plan for a hired truck: gate widths, soft ground and the route from the road all matter. Power and water may be limited, so we confirm the arrangements before the day. You will know what’s included before booking: the menu, the service time and any extras you choose.

Can I do a taco night myself?
Some hosts like to do it themselves. 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.
You can host your own taco night for a crowd, but it takes planning. Fillings need slow cooking, tortillas need warming as you go, and salsas need making. Our taco bar guide explains how.

FAQs for John's Cross
Do you cater in villages like John's Cross?
Yes. Villages and hamlets are part of our area, and the main thing is access: tell us about the lane, the gate and the ground.
Could you serve our guests after a service at The Parish Church of All Saints?
Yes. The church itself isn’t where we’d set up, but a hall, field or garden close by with room for the truck or trailer can work well. Let us know the reception address and we will check the access.
Can we hire a bar too?
Our Mexican drinks bar can be added to a truck booking, with margaritas, Mexican beer and aguas frescas. Licensing is checked with you.
Can we hire the truck for our wedding?
Wedding food from a truck feels relaxed and sociable. We agree access and timings with the venue.
What do you need at the venue?
Tell us where you’d like the truck, and we’ll check the access. There’s more in our space and power guide.
Can you cater in a back garden?
That depends on access. A drive or a spot nearby may work, with permission, if the garden itself is out of reach. Send us a photo and we will talk it through.
Can you do gluten-free food?
Yes, gluten-free options are available, using corn tortillas. Tell us about any coeliac guests before the event so we can explain how we prepare their food. See are corn tortillas gluten-free?
Do you take everything away?
We clear our own area when service is finished. For anything beyond that, such as guests’ tables, ask us.

A little planning makes sure everyone can eat. Here’s how:
- Let us know who is coeliac
