Food truck hire near Martin Mill
About our food truck hire in Martin Mill
Guests walk up to the hatch, order and take their food away hot. It’s simple, quick and sociable for guests and hosts. It suits engagement parties and winter staff parties, serving tacos from the hatch, burrito bowls and burritos.
In a rural place like Martin Mill, 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. We arrive ready to serve, and clear our own area when service is finished.
Common questions in Martin Mill
We’re having a ceremony at Church of St Augustine: 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’ll check the access.
How far is Martin Mill from central London?
Roughly 66 miles from the centre of London, and well within our area.
Can you do gluten-free food?
Yes, with corn tortillas. Corn tortillas are naturally gluten-free, but some fillings, sauces and toppings may not be, so we plan gluten-free dishes carefully and give allergen information.
When should we book?
As soon as you have a date. Popular dates go first, so it pays to ask early.
What happens if it rains?
Rain does not 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 we hire the truck for our wedding?
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.
Do you have dairy-free options?
Yes, on request. Let us know your dairy-free numbers, and we’ll plan the menu around them.
Who clears up?
Our area is packed away and left tidy. Let us know the venue’s rules on waste and we’ll confirm the arrangements with your quote.
How it compares
Booking several street food trucks means juggling several suppliers. One truck with tacos, burritos and nachos is one booking to manage. What’s on the menu makes a difference to the total, so tell us what you have in mind. We will suggest options to suit your budget.
Why us?
- Allergen information for everything we serve
- Food and drinks from one caterer, if you want both

Take a look at our pricing and the cost guide.
Should I do it myself?
Doing it yourself? Start with the quantities: our guide to how many tacos per person helps. Keep tortillas warm in a covered basket, and label anything containing allergens.
A DIY taco night is possible for a crowd, but it is more work than it looks. Fillings need slow cooking, tortillas need warming as you go, and salsas need making. Read our guide to taco bars.
Dietary needs and planning tips
Nearly every event has some special diets. To plan for them:
- Ask guests with severe allergies to speak to us beforehand
- Check gate widths and any height limits
- Check early that your venue allows food trucks
- Add a dietary question to the invitation
At the end of service, we close the hatch and pack down and drive off quietly.
Add a build-your-own taco bar beside the truck for a wedding breakfast or lunch.
Popular choices
Burrito bowls
Bowls suit anyone skipping tortillas.
Quesadillas
Crisp tortillas folded round melted cheese.
What we need at the venue
The route in matters as much as the spot itself. We look for:
- Any parking or loading permission needed for street locations
- Seating or standing room near the truck
- Level, solid ground for the vehicle
