Food truck hire for Lord's Wood events
About our food truck hire in Lord's Wood
Service is planned around your timings: a set lunch hour, an evening slot or a few hours through a party. Let us know your running order and we’ll plan around it. At birthday parties and leaving dos and retirements, we’ll put together a menu of quesadillas, tacos from the hatch and burrito bowls.
For a rural spot like Lord's Wood, food truck hire needs a little planning: gate widths, soft ground and the route from the road all matter. We confirm power and water arrangements with you. We prepare everything fresh for your event and serve it straight from our food truck or trailer, so guests get it at its best.
How it compares
Burger and pizza vans are familiar. A Mexican food truck offers something less expected. Comparing caterers? Look at what each quote includes: serving hours, staff, disposables, travel and VAT. Contact us for a quote and we will set out what’s included.

The process
Your timings come first. If things run behind, let us know and we will adjust where we can. Late-September events in Lord's Wood see sunset at about 7:10pm, so a later service will need some lighting. A late-May event keeps its light until roughly 8:55pm.
- Check our availability for your date.
- You get a menu for the hatch and 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.
How to prepare
- Share the running order, including any speeches
- Check gates and access routes are wide and high enough
- Tell us what power and water the site has
Getting a price
Most quotes start with a few simple details: the date, where the event is, how many guests and any dietary needs. Contact us for a quote: just tell us about it on our contact page.

DIY taco night or a caterer?
Some hosts like to do it themselves. The usual problems are cold tortillas, running out of a popular filling and a host stuck at the stove. 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. There are fillings to slow-cook, tortillas to keep warm and salsas to make. Our taco bar guide explains how.

Do you provide plates and napkins?

Planning the serving area
No two venues are the same, so we ask about the space before we confirm. Generally, we look for:
- Any parking or loading permission needed for street locations
- Distance from houses and windows
- Agreement from the venue to bring in a catering vehicle
If you’re unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think before you book.
