Food truck hire in Oakridge, from our food truck or trailer
Guests walk up to the hatch, order and take their food away hot. It keeps things easy and relaxed. It works well for engagements and anniversaries and parties in venue grounds, with tacos from the hatch, fresh salsas and guacamole and burrito bowls.
For a place the size of Oakridge, food truck hire at your own home is often simplest: no venue hire, and guests order at the hatch. Let us know about the route to the house. You can book food, drinks or both, so the food and drinks can come from one caterer.
For event organisers in Oakridge
Wedding planners and venue coordinators are welcome to contact us directly, and we will keep you updated on timings and set-up.
Events in public spaces, like parks, usually need permission. We can send what the landowner or council needs from us.
Is food truck hire right for your event?
A hog roast suits meat eaters well, but a Mexican menu covers vegan, gluten-free and dairy-free guests more easily. Larger events can cost less per head, since the set-up is much the same either way. Give us your numbers and we’ll quote.

DIY taco night or a caterer?
Doing it yourself? Start with the quantities: our guide to how many tacos per person helps. Keep tortillas warm in a covered basket, and label dishes for guests with allergies.
A DIY taco night is possible for a crowd, but it’s more work than it looks. There are fillings to slow-cook, tortillas to keep warm and salsas to make. Read our guide to taco bars.

What we need at the venue
We serve from a truck or trailer, so the spot needs a little planning. Here’s what we look for:
- Parking arrangements if we’re not on private land
- Level, solid ground for the vehicle
- Gate widths, overhead branches and soft ground checked in advance
If you are unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think before booking.
Dietary needs and planning tips
Allergies and diets are taken seriously. Here’s how you can help:
- Email us any allergies
- Ask guests with severe allergies to speak to us beforehand
- Give us separate numbers for children
- Ask about parking rules if we will be on a road
We drive in at the agreed time and park in the planned spot. Someone on site to meet us makes it smoother.
Margaritas, Mexican beer and aguas frescas from our drinks bar can be added to the booking.

Common questions in Oakridge
We are having a ceremony at Ruins Of Chapel Of The Holy Trinity: can you cater afterwards?
Yes. The church itself is not 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’ll check the access.
How far is Oakridge from central London?
About 46 miles from central London.
What does hiring your food truck involve?
Our truck or trailer comes to your venue and serves your guests from the hatch. Only your guests are served.
How long do you serve for?
We arrive in good time to set up before service. Serving times are agreed with you in advance, along with pack-down.
Do you have vegan options?
Yes. We can include vegetarian and vegan fillings like black beans or spiced mushrooms.
Do you need electricity?
Let us know what’s available on site, such as a supply from the venue near where we’ll park, and we will confirm what we need with your quote.
How spicy is the food?
We can keep it mild, with hotter salsas on the side for anyone who wants more heat.
Do you cook on site?
We slow-cook fillings ahead, then finish them and keep them hot at your event. The tortillas are warmed on site, and the salsas and guacamole are made fresh.
