Food truck hire in Newtown Common, from our truck or trailer
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. For end-of-year parties and retirement parties, we can serve burritos, loaded nachos and fresh salsas and guacamole.
Somewhere as small as Newtown Common, food truck hire can mean a garden, a field or a barn. Lanes, gates and long drives are fine if we know about them. Firm ground matters, especially after rain. We serve from the hatch of our truck or trailer, or from a serving station, and we plan service so the queue keeps moving.

A closer look at the menu
Tacos from the hatch
Tacos are quick to serve and easy to eat standing up, and corn tortillas suit gluten-free guests.
Salsas and guacamole
Fresh salsas and guacamole, made for your event.
Planning the serving area
Every venue is different, so we will ask about yours before we confirm. Generally, we look for:
- A flat parking spot on firm ground or hardstanding
- Gate widths, overhead branches and soft ground checked in advance
- A clear area for a queue at the hatch
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and the access, and we’ll advise.
Diets, allergies and planning
A Mexican menu is easy to plan for mixed diets, because options can be kept separate. A few tips:
- Walk the access route and note narrow gaps
- Put anyone with a severe allergy in touch with us
- Think about cover if the weather turns
- Agree service times with us
If your timings move, let us know.
Our Mexican drinks bar, with margaritas, Mexican beer and aguas frescas can join the truck.

DIY taco night versus a caterer

You can set up your own drinks table, but someone has to serve all evening. Our margarita bar guide has tips.
