Food truck hire for Mount Pleasant events
Common questions in Mount Pleasant
Do you come to events in the South Downs National Park?
Yes. Some venues there have rules about vehicles, ground and catering, so check with yours. We will follow the site rules.
How far is Mount Pleasant from London?
Roughly 40 miles from the centre of London.
Is the food made fresh?
Fillings are slow-cooked in advance, then finished and kept hot on site. Tortillas are warmed on site, and salsas and guacamole are made fresh.
Can we hire a bar too?
The drinks bar comes with bar staff and alcohol-free choices. We’ll talk through licensing first.
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.
Can you cater for children?
Yes, children are welcome. Let us know numbers and ages, and we’ll suggest mild options.
Is private hire the same as trading at a festival?
A private hire is booked and quoted for you, so we don’t serve passers-by. Event organisers should see street food for festivals.
What food and drinks do you offer?
Mexican street food: tacos, taco bars, burritos, bowls, nachos and quesadillas, plus salsas, guacamole and toppings. We also run a Mexican drinks bar.
Food truck hire in Mount Pleasant, from our food truck or trailer
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 the menu and timings are set around your event. At leaving dos and retirements and end-of-year parties, we’ll put together a menu of vegan tacos, tacos from the hatch and loaded nachos and more.
In a small place like Mount Pleasant, a hired food truck might park in a garden, paddock or field. Tell us about narrow lanes, gates and long drives. Firm ground matters, especially after rain. Every guest is catered for, vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and dairy-free included, with allergen information for everything we serve.

Before you choose a spot
Everything is served from our truck or trailer, so where we park matters. These are the things we check:
- Distance from houses and windows
- Arrangements for power and water, agreed when you book
- Enough width and height on the route in
If you are unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think before you book.
Comparing your options
Booking several street food trucks means juggling several suppliers. One Mexican truck with a varied menu keeps things simple. The price depends on guest numbers, the menu and how long you’d like us to serve, along with extras and where your event is. Every event gets its own quote.
What you get with us
- A plan agreed before the day
- Everything served fresh from the hatch
- Options for vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and dairy-free guests
- A menu agreed with you

About the menu
Tacos from the hatch
Tacos are quick to serve and easy to eat standing up, and corn tortillas suit gluten-free guests.
Loaded nachos
Nachos are good for sharing between friends.
DIY taco night or a caterer?
You can set up your own drinks table, but someone still has to mix, pour and keep an eye on it all evening. Our margarita bar guide has tips.
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. Our taco bar guide explains how.
Diets, allergies and planning
Mixed diets are straightforward to plan for, because guests can choose what suits them. A few tips:
- Think about cover if the weather turns
- Put anyone with a severe allergy in touch with us
- Let us know who is coeliac
- Check parking and loading rules for street locations
We can serve through rain, but guests will want a covered area to eat.
Add a build-your-own taco bar beside the truck for a wedding breakfast or lunch.
How it works
We work to your timings. If speeches run late or the photos take longer, let us know and we’ll adjust where we can. A hired food truck at a summer event in Mount Pleasant can serve in daylight until about 9:15pm at midsummer, and by late September sunset is about 7:05pm. In December it is dark by about 3:55pm, so the queue by the hatch needs lighting.
- 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.
- Service runs at the times you choose.
- When everyone is fed, we clear our area.
Before we arrive
- Arrange somewhere covered for guests to eat
- Let us know who to talk to on the day
- Confirm numbers and diets before the day
