Dietary needs and planning tips
Mixed diets are straightforward to plan for, because options can be kept separate. Here are a few tips for planning:
- Walk the access route and note narrow gaps
- Look into parking permissions if the truck can’t go off-road
- Agree service times with us
- Check early that your venue allows food trucks
We arrive in the agreed window and park where we have arranged. Someone on site to meet us makes it smoother.
Tell us what serveware you need and we will confirm the options in your quote.
About our food truck hire in Newtown
Our drinks bar can be hired with the truck for margaritas, Mexican beer and aguas frescas, with licensing checked with you. We can add a taco-bar station next to the truck. It suits leaving parties and winter staff parties, serving quesadillas, loaded nachos and burritos.
Somewhere as small as Newtown, food truck hire can mean a garden, a field or a barn. Lanes, gates and long drives are fine if we know about them. Soft ground after rain is worth mentioning too. Every guest is catered for, vegan, vegetarian, dairy-free and gluten-free included, with allergen information for everything we serve.
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. Ask us for a quote and compare.
Doing it yourself? Start with the quantities: see how many tacos per person. Keep warmed tortillas covered, and label anything containing allergens.
For planners, venues and organisers
Planners and coordinators can contact us directly, and we will keep you updated on timings and set-up.
For big numbers, we plan service to keep queues short, so guests are looked after quickly. Tell us how long you have for food and drinks.

Food truck hire or something else?
Cooking yourself saves on catering but costs you the day. With a hired truck, we do the cooking so you can join in. 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. We quote for each event individually.

How we price food truck hire
We will give you a clear quote. What affects it most:
- Staff for serving and the bar
- Guest numbers
- The menu you choose
- Adding food to drinks, or drinks to food
Pricing depends on the event. A short lunch service for a team is a different job from a full wedding day. Your quote sets it all out.

We can quote more accurately with a few details. Here’s what to include:
- Access for the truck or trailer, including gates and ground
- Whether you’d like food, drinks or both
- A photo of the space, if it’s a garden or field
- The date and rough timings
Not sure what you need yet? That is fine: give us the basics about your event, and we’ll make suggestions. When you are ready, use our quote form.
How it works
We need a level, firm spot we can drive the truck or trailer onto, and we agree power and water arrangements before the day. Send us a picture of the space if you are unsure.

Common questions in Newtown
Do you come out to small places like Newtown?
Yes, small places are no problem, given access. Let us know about access and parking for the truck or trailer.
We’re having a ceremony at Church of the Holy Trinity: can you cater afterwards?
Yes, at a nearby garden, marquee or hall with access for the truck or trailer. We’d serve at the reception venue rather than at the church itself. Tell us where the reception will be.
Can you cater for vegetarians and vegans?
Yes, and we plan them in from the start. Tell us your numbers when you ask for a quote, and we’ll keep their options separate.
How spicy is the food?
The food can be kept mild, and hotter salsas go on the side for guests who like heat.
Can we have a build-your-own taco bar?
We can. A build-your-own taco bar can be served from the truck or a serving station, with fillings, salsas and toppings to choose from.
Where can the truck park?
Send us the address and a description of the spot, and we’ll check it works. There is more in our space and power guide.
Do you provide drinks?
Yes, we run a Mexican drinks bar, with margaritas, Mexican beer, aguas frescas and soft drinks. Your venue or event may need the right licence for alcohol, so we will check the licensing with you.
How far ahead should we book?
