About our food truck hire in New Hinksey
As a guide, hiring the truck or trailer suits around 50 to 400 guests. Smaller parties are quoted case by case. Popular choices include tacos from the hatch, loaded nachos and vegan tacos, and it is a good fit for staff appreciation days and anniversary celebrations.
For a place the size of New Hinksey, food truck hire at your own home is often simplest: no venue to book, and guests order straight from the hatch. Let us know about the route to the house.

New Hinksey questions
Which station should guests use for New Hinksey?
Guests can use Oxford station, about 1.3 miles north-west of New Hinksey.
Could you serve in South 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.
What does it cost to hire the truck?
We do not publish set prices, because each hire is different. Tell us your plans and we’ll quote for your event. See the Mexican catering cost guide for background.
What space does the truck need?
A firm, level spot, a way in that fits the vehicle, and the venue’s agreement. Power and water are confirmed with each booking.
What does food truck hire cost?
We quote for each event, so the price fits what you want. Give us your date, numbers and menu ideas and we’ll reply with a quote.
Are plates and napkins included?
That is confirmed with each quote. Tell us whether your venue has crockery or you’d prefer disposables.
Is the food very hot?
It’s up to you: we can keep it mild and put the hotter salsas on the side.
Can we have a build-your-own taco bar?
Yes. A build-your-own taco bar can be served from the truck or a serving station, with fillings, salsas, guacamole and toppings. Read our taco bar guide.

About the menu
Quesadillas
A quesadilla suits cautious eaters.
Loaded nachos
A tray of nachos works as a starter or a late snack; dairy-free versions can be planned.
Should I do it myself?
You can set up your own drinks table, but someone still has to mix, pour and keep an eye on it all evening. See our margarita bar guide.
Doing it yourself? Start with the quantities: our guide to how many tacos per person helps. Keep warmed tortillas covered, and label dishes for guests with allergies.

Everything is served from our truck or trailer, so where we park matters. These are the things we check:
- Firm, level ground or hardstanding where the truck or trailer can park
- Distance from houses and windows
- Any parking or loading permission needed for street locations
Not sure about your space? Send us a picture and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.
