Book food truck hire in Newington
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. At midsummer, it stays light in Newington until about 9:15pm, 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.
- Tell us the date, the location, rough numbers and any diets.
- You get a hatch menu and a quote for the hire.
- Where the truck or trailer will stand, the route in, and power and water are all agreed in advance.
- Your guests order at the hatch and we serve hot food at the agreed times.
- When service ends, we pack up and leave the spot clear.
How to prepare
- Confirm numbers and diets before the day
- Confirm the venue allows outside caterers
- Find out what power and water are available

About our food truck hire in Newington
Guests walk up to the hatch, order and take their food away hot. It keeps things easy and relaxed. It suits anniversary celebrations and end-of-year celebrations, with loaded nachos, burritos and burrito bowls.
In a rural place like Newington, access is the main thing to plan for a hired truck: the gate, the ground and the distance from the lane. Power and water may be limited, so we confirm the arrangements before the day. We’ll check the space, access and power with you before the day, so there are no surprises on arrival.

Can I do a taco night myself?
Not sure whether to do it yourself or book a caterer? Think about numbers, diets and how much you want to enjoy the day. Contact us for a quote to compare.
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.
Newington questions
Can you cater a reception after a service at Church of St Nicholas?
Yes, at a nearby garden, marquee or hall with access for the truck or trailer. Service would be at the reception venue, not the church. Send us the reception address.
Is Newington close to London?
About 59 miles from central London, and we cover it.
What do you serve?
We agree a sample menu with each client. Fillings might include chicken tinga, pork carnitas, al pastor-style pork and vegan options like black beans. See our menu for ideas.
Can you keep it mild?
It is up to you: we can keep it mild and put the hotter salsas on the side. Read more about how spicy Mexican food is.
Can you do dairy-free food?
Yes. We offer dairy-free options.
What does it cost to hire the truck?
We quote for every hire, based on guest numbers, the menu, the location and service times. Contact us for a quote.
Are plates and napkins included?
Please ask us. Tell us what your venue provides, and we will confirm what’s included with your quote.
Do you need power and water?
It depends on the event and the set-up, so we confirm power and water arrangements with each booking. Let us know whether there’s a supply near where we will park.
Diets, allergies and planning
A Mexican menu is easy to plan for mixed diets, because options can be kept separate. Here are a few tips for planning:
- Check gate widths and any height limits
- Give us separate numbers for children
- Email us any allergies
- Think about cover if the weather turns
We arrive in the agreed window and park where we’ve arranged. Someone on site to meet us makes it smoother.
Loaded nachos to share while the first orders cook.
