Planning an event in Lower Burgate?
Is food truck hire right for your event?
A marquee kitchen with plated service needs more space, more staff and more time. Our food truck or trailer brings the kitchen and serves from one hatch, needing level ground, access and the venue’s permission. If you have a budget in mind, tell us, and we’ll suggest a menu that fits. A simple menu can still feel generous.
What you get with us
- Everything served fresh from the hatch
- Tacos, burritos and a drinks bar
- Access, space and power checked in advance
- Quoted for your event

Food truck hire in Lower Burgate, served fresh
When you hire our food truck, it serves your guests and nobody else. Unlike a stall at a festival or market, it is a private hire, so we plan the menu and service times around you. We serve fresh salsas and guacamole, burritos and loaded nachos, which works well for milestone birthdays and engagement parties.
In a hamlet or village like Lower Burgate, our truck or trailer can serve a private party or a team day in a field or garden. Guests order at the hatch, so plan a sheltered spot for the queue in case of rain. Timings are planned around your event, so service starts when you want it.
FAQs for Lower Burgate
Can we hire your food truck for a private party in Lower Burgate?
Yes, depending on the date. For a private or work event in a village or hamlet, the main thing is access: tell us about the lane, the gate and the ground.
We’re having a ceremony at St Mary's Church: can you cater afterwards?
Yes, at a garden, field or venue nearby where the truck or trailer can park. Service would be at the reception venue, not the church. Tell us where the reception will be.
Do you provide plates and napkins?
Ask us when you enquire. Tell us what your venue provides, and we will confirm what’s included with your quote.
How is the food prepared?
Food is cooked to order in our truck or trailer, or served from a build-your-own taco bar. Slow-cooked fillings are prepared in advance and kept hot on site.
Do you do a taco bar?
Yes, a taco bar is one of the ways we serve. Let us know your numbers and space and we will suggest the best set-up.
What happens if it rains?
Rain doesn’t normally stop service from the truck or trailer. Plan cover for guests, such as a marquee or gazebo, and let us know if the ground gets soft after heavy rain.
Can you do gluten-free food?
Yes, gluten-free options are available, using corn tortillas. Let us know about coeliac guests in advance so we can talk through how their food is prepared. See are corn tortillas gluten-free?
What do you serve?
Mexican street food: tacos and build-your-own taco bars, burritos, burrito bowls, nachos and quesadillas, with salsas, guacamole and toppings. A drinks bar is available too.
DIY taco night versus 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 enjoy the party, let us serve.
A DIY taco night works well for a small group. For big numbers or lots of diets, a caterer makes life easier, and handles allergen information for you.
