Food truck hire for your event in Kingsdown
Our drinks bar can be hired with the truck for margaritas, Mexican beer and aguas frescas. We can add a taco-bar station next to the truck. It suits launch events and winter staff parties, with quesadillas, burritos and loaded nachos.
In a rural place like Kingsdown, access is the main thing to plan for a hired truck: gate widths, soft ground and the route from the road all matter. We confirm power and water arrangements with you. Timings are planned around your event, so service starts when you want it.
Common questions in Kingsdown
Will you travel to a small place like Kingsdown?
Yes, small places are no problem, given access. Let us know about access and parking for the truck or trailer.
Can you bring your truck or trailer to Doddington Place Gardens?
It depends on the park’s owner, who would need to agree to a catering vehicle on site. Ask them first; if they say yes, we’ll send what they need from us.
Can you plan for allergies?
Yes, and it helps to hear about allergies when you book. UK law requires caterers to provide information on 14 allergens, and we give it for every dish (Food Standards Agency guidance). Anyone with a severe allergy should speak to us before the event.
Can we add drinks?
The drinks bar comes with bar staff. We’ll talk through licensing first.
Can you run a bar?
Yes, we offer a Mexican drinks bar, serving margaritas, Mexican beer, aguas frescas such as hibiscus and horchata, and soft drinks. Alcohol at an event may need a licence, such as a premises licence or a Temporary Event Notice, so we’ll talk licensing through with you.
Do you need power and water?
Tell us what the site has, such as a supply from the venue near where we will park, and we’ll confirm the arrangements with your quote.
Can you come to a private house?
Yes, as long as there’s access and a level, firm spot. Send us a picture of the access and the space.
Can you do dairy-free food?
We can. Dairy-free options are part of our menus.
What’s on the menu
Tacos from the hatch
Tacos are quick to serve and easy to eat standing up, and corn tortillas suit gluten-free guests.
Burritos
A large flour tortilla rolled round rice, beans, a filling and toppings.
Space, access and the venue
Before the day, we will agree where we park and serve. A good spot ticks these boxes:
- Enough width and height on the route in
- Space in front of the hatch for guests to queue
- A flat parking spot on firm ground or hardstanding
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and the access, and we will advise before you book.
Step by step
Guests tend to gather around the truck, so we plan a spot with space for people to queue. Rain doesn’t generally stop us serving, though guests will want somewhere covered to stand or sit. Planning a private evening event in Kingsdown? Sunset is around 8:50pm in late May and 9:15pm in late June. Once it’s dark, some lighting near the hatch makes ordering easier.

Planning help
DIY taco night or a caterer?
If you do it yourself, work out quantities first: see how many tacos per person. Keep warmed tortillas covered, and label anything containing allergens.
Running your own drinks table is one option, but someone has to serve all evening. See our margarita bar guide.

Is food truck hire right for your event?
Most guests have seen a burger van. A Mexican food truck offers something less expected while staying easy to eat. Pricing depends on the event. A short lunch service for a team is a different job from a full wedding day. Your quote sets it all out.
