Food truck hire in Monk's Gate
How our food truck hire works in Monk's Gate
Our drinks bar can be hired with the truck for margaritas, Mexican beer and aguas frescas. We can add a taco-bar station next to the truck. We serve quesadillas, tacos from the hatch and burritos, which works well for staff summer parties and family reunions.
For a rural spot like Monk's Gate, food truck hire needs a little planning: the gate, the ground and the distance from the lane. Power and water may be limited, so we confirm the arrangements before the day. You will know what’s included before booking: menu, timings and any add-ons.

Planners, venues and businesses
Many venues have rules for outside caterers: where vehicles can park, access times and the paperwork they need. Send us your venue’s requirements and we will follow them.
Wedding planners and venue coordinators are welcome to contact us directly, and we will keep everyone informed on the day.
How it works
Guests tend to gather around the truck, so we plan a spot with space for people to queue. We can serve in the rain, though guests will want somewhere covered to stand or sit. A Christmas party in Monk's Gate with a hired food truck will be in the dark from about 3:55pm, so ask the venue about outdoor lighting where we will park. At midsummer, sunset is around 9:20pm.
- Tell us what the event is and who’s coming.
- We suggest fillings and dishes for every diet.
- We check power, water and timings with the venue.
- The truck serves at the agreed times.
- When everyone is fed, we clear our area.
Before we arrive
- Tell us what power and water the site has
- Measure any gates or arches on the way in
- Let us know the timings for the day
Ask for a quote
The quickest way to a quote is to drop us a line using the enquiry form. Give us the details of your event, and we’ll suggest a menu to suit.
Planning help
Before you choose a spot
Everything is served from our truck or trailer, so the spot needs a little planning. Here’s what we look for:
- A way in wide and high enough for the vehicle
- A parking suspension, where a street spot is needed
- A clear area for a queue at the hatch

Who books food truck hire in Monk's Gate?
The truck is yours for the booking, so there are no public queues and the menu is set for your guests.
Almost any gathering can work with a truck or trailer. People in Monk's Gate can book us for occasions like:
- Christenings and family parties
- Client events and product launches
- Weddings
- Retirement parties
When the service is at a church such as Church of the Good Shepherd, the truck would serve at the reception venue rather than at the church.

Should I do it myself?
A DIY taco night is possible for a crowd, but it is more work than it looks. There are fillings to slow-cook, tortillas to keep warm and salsas to make. Our taco bar guide explains how.
Doing it yourself saves money, but the host ends up in the kitchen. With a caterer, you get the food and drinks without the work.
