Our drinks bar can be hired with the truck with margaritas, Mexican beer and aguas frescas, with licensing checked with you. We can add a taco-bar station next to the truck. For private outdoor parties and wedding evening food, we can serve vegan tacos, burrito bowls and fresh salsas and guacamole and more.
In a small place like Lower Higham, a hired food truck might park in a garden, paddock or field. Tell us about narrow lanes, gates and long drives. Soft ground after rain is worth mentioning too. Your quote sets out what’s included: the menu, the service time and any extras you choose.
How the day works
Here’s how the day typically runs: we park up and get ready, we open the hatch when you’re ready, and your guests are served fresh for the agreed time. December events in Lower Higham lose the light at about 3:50pm, so choose a well-lit spot for the truck or trailer. In late June, it stays light until about 9:20pm.
- Tell us the date, the location, rough numbers and any diets.
- We check availability and send a menu and a quote for hiring the truck or trailer.
- Where the truck or trailer will stand, the route in, and power and water are all agreed in advance.
- We arrive, open the hatch and cook to order for your guests.
- After service, we close the hatch, pack down and drive away.
Getting ready for the day
- Check gates and access routes are wide and high enough
- Have a marquee or gazebo ready in case of rain
- Have level hardstanding or firm ground ready

We can quote more accurately with a few details. Here’s what to include:

FAQs for Lower Higham
We’re having a ceremony at St Mary's Church: can you cater afterwards?
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.
Could you serve in Broomhill Park?
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 will send what they need from us.
How long do you serve for?
That depends on your event and menu. Timings are agreed in advance to suit your day.
Do you do food truck hire for weddings?
The truck or trailer can serve the wedding breakfast, evening food or both. We fit service around your running order. See our food truck wedding guide.
What happens if it rains?
Rain doesn’t generally stop service from the truck or trailer. Plan cover for guests, such as a marquee or gazebo, and tell us if heavy rain could make the ground soft.
Can you plan for allergies?
Our menus are planned with allergies in mind, nut allergies included, and give allergen information for every dish. We plan carefully and keep options separate, though we can’t promise a dish is allergen-free. Guests with severe allergies should talk to us before the event.
Can you cater for guests who avoid dairy?
We can. Dairy-free options are part of our menus, and we’ll tell you which dishes contain milk.
Are plates and napkins included?
Please ask us. Let us know what you already have, and we’ll set out plates, napkins and cutlery in your quote.
Diets, allergies and planning
With a little notice, most diets are easy. We suggest:
- Share your running order
- Think about cover if the weather turns
- Check parking and loading rules for street locations
- Tell us about coeliac guests
Service starts when your timings say.
Our Mexican drinks bar, with margaritas, Mexican beer and aguas frescas can be added to the booking.
Organising for someone else?
Many venues have rules for outside caterers: vehicle access, arrival times and documents. Send us your venue’s requirements and we will follow them.
If you are booking for a business, tell us what your finance team needs, and we’ll explain how it works. We can work with your facilities team on access and timings.

Should I do it myself?
For a small group, a taco night at home can work well. For larger numbers, mixed diets or a wedding, a caterer takes the pressure off, and handles allergen information for you.
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. Read our guide to taco bars.
