About our food truck hire in Norton
When you hire our food truck, it serves your guests and nobody else. Unlike a stall at a festival or market, it’s a private hire, so we plan the menu and service times around you. At leaving parties and end-of-year celebrations, we can serve burritos, loaded nachos and quesadillas and more.
In a small place like Norton, a hired food truck might park in a garden, paddock or field. Lanes, gates and long drives are fine if we know about them. Firm ground matters, especially after rain. We’ll check the space, access and power with you before the day, so there are no surprises on arrival.

Norton questions
Can you cater a reception after a service at St. James' Church?
Yes. The church itself isn’t where we’d set up, but a hall, field or garden close by with room for the truck or trailer can work well. Let us know the reception address and we will check the access.
Could we book your food truck for a private event in Norton?
Yes, depending on the date. For a private or work event in a village or hamlet, the main thing is access: tell us about the lane, the gate and the ground.
Do you have dairy-free options?
Yes. Dairy-free options are part of our menus, and we’ll tell you which dishes contain milk.
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, guacamole and toppings.
Can you cater for children?
Yes, children are easy to plan for. Let us know numbers and ages, and we’ll plan the menu with them in mind.
When do you arrive?
We get there well before service to set up. The length of service is agreed when you book.
How spicy is the food?
We can keep it mild, with hotter salsas on the side for anyone who wants more heat.
Can we add drinks?
Our Mexican drinks bar can be added to a truck booking, serving margaritas, Mexican beer, aguas frescas and soft drinks. Licensing is checked with you.
What we need at the venue
Plenty of outdoor spaces and venues work for us, but a few things matter:
- A place for guests to eat close to the hatch
- A flat parking spot on firm ground or hardstanding
- A parking suspension, where a street spot is needed
Out-of-the-way places like Norton take a little more planning, so let us know about tracks, gates and power in good time.
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and the access, and we’ll advise before you book.

Comparing your options
Several trucks mean several quotes and arrival times. One truck with tacos, burritos and nachos is one booking to manage. The cost per head can fall as numbers rise, because the set-up is similar for different sizes of event. Give us your numbers and we will quote.
