How our food truck hire works in Northbourne
Service is planned around your timings: a set lunch hour, an evening slot or a few hours through a party. Let us know your running order and we’ll plan around it. For wedding receptions and christenings and family parties, we will put together a menu of loaded nachos, vegan tacos and tacos from the hatch and more.
Near Northbourne, a hired food truck in a field or garden suits private parties and work away days alike. Guests order at the hatch, so plan a sheltered spot for the queue in case of rain. We turn up ready to serve, and tidy our own area afterwards.
Popular choices
Tacos from the hatch
Tacos made to order at the hatch, with a choice of fillings agreed with you.
Loaded nachos
Tortilla chips with cheese, a filling, salsa and guacamole, for sharing.
Dietary needs and planning tips
We take diets and allergies seriously. Help us by following these steps:
- Tell us when guests should eat
- Ask the venue about catering vehicles before booking
- Confirm allergies with us in writing
- Check parking and loading rules for street locations
We keep allergen information for every dish at the hatch.
Nachos for sharing at the start.
Northbourne questions
Will you travel to a small place like Northbourne?
Yes. Villages and hamlets are part of our area, and the main thing is access: tell us about the lane, the gate and the ground.
Could you serve our guests after a service at Church of St Augustine?
Yes, at a garden, field or venue nearby where the truck or trailer can park. Service would be at the reception venue, not the church. Send us the reception address.
How much is a food truck for an event?
The price depends on numbers, menu, service time and where your event is. Contact us for a quote.
Is the food very hot?
It’s up to you: we can keep the main dishes mild, with hotter salsas served separately. Read more about how spicy Mexican food is.
Can you come to a private house?

What happens on the day
A typical event goes like this: we arrive and set up, we open the hatch when you’re ready, and your guests are served fresh until service ends. Late-September events in Northbourne see sunset at about 7:00pm, so evening service from the truck may run past dusk. A late-May event keeps its light until roughly 8:45pm.

- You get a hatch menu and a quote for the hire.
- Before the day, we agree the spot, the way in, power and water.
- Your guests order at the hatch and we serve hot food at the agreed times.
