What we need at the venue
Everything is served from our food truck or trailer, so the spot needs a little planning. Here’s what we look for:
- Seating or standing room near the truck
- Agreement from the venue to bring in a catering vehicle
- Space in front of the hatch for guests to queue
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and the access, and we will advise.
About our food truck hire in Mill Hill
We cook inside our food truck or trailer, so your venue does not need a kitchen. What we do need is level ground, a way in and the venue’s agreement. At engagements and anniversaries and staff appreciation days, we’ll put together a menu of tacos from the hatch, burrito bowls and loaded nachos.
In a smaller place like Mill Hill, hiring our food truck for a party at home is often the easiest option: no venue to book, and guests order straight from the hatch. Let us know about the route to the house. We arrive ready to serve, and clear our own area when service is finished.
How the day works
A typical event goes like this: we arrive and set up, we open the hatch when you’re ready, and your guests are served fresh for the agreed time. A hired food truck at a summer event in Mill Hill can serve in daylight until about 9:15pm at midsummer, and by late September sunset is about 7:00pm. For winter events, dark by about 3:50pm, plan lighting where guests queue at the hatch.
- Check our availability for your date.
- We agree a hatch menu and send a quote.
- The spot and the way in are agreed in advance.
- On the day, guests order at the hatch and we cook to order.
- After service, we close up and leave the spot clear.
Preparing for the day
- Pick a flat, firm spot for us to park
- Have a marquee or gazebo ready in case of rain
- Share the running order, including any speeches

Questions from Mill Hill
Could you serve in Betteshanger 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’ll send what they need from us.
Do you cater at coastal events near Mill Hill?
Yes, with permission for the spot and firm ground for the truck or trailer. Wind, sand and seafront permissions are the main things to plan on the coast.
How long do you serve for?
We arrive in good time to set up before service. Serving times are agreed with you in advance, along with pack-down.
Do you do margaritas?
Yes, we offer a Mexican drinks bar, serving margaritas, Mexican beer, aguas frescas such as hibiscus and horchata, and soft drinks. Your venue or event may need the right licence for alcohol, so we’ll check the licensing with you.
How is the food prepared?
Food is cooked to order in our food 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 bring plates and cutlery?
Ask us when you enquire. Tell us what your venue provides, and we will set out plates, napkins and cutlery in your quote.
Can we add drinks?
You can add our drinks bar, serving margaritas, Mexican beer, aguas frescas and soft drinks. Licensing is checked with you.
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.

Should I do it myself?
DIY catering keeps costs down, but the host spends the party serving. Booking a caterer means you can relax with everyone else.
