How our food truck hire works in Oldbury
You choose the hatch menu with us: tacos and burritos, with bowls, nachos or quesadillas if you like, with fresh salsas and guacamole. It suits leaving parties and winter staff parties, serving vegan tacos, loaded nachos and burrito bowls.
In a hamlet or village like Oldbury, our food truck or trailer can serve a private party or a team day in a field or garden. Guests order at the hatch, so plan a sheltered spot for the queue in case of rain. We will check the space, access and power with you before the day, so there are no surprises on arrival.
Dietary needs and planning tips
Nearly every event has some special diets. To cater well for them:
- Ask the venue about catering vehicles before booking
- Ask about parking rules if we will be on a road
- Walk the access route and note narrow gaps
- Share your running order
Guests come to the hatch, order and wait a short moment for hot food.
Add a build-your-own taco bar beside the truck for a wedding breakfast or lunch.

Your questions about food truck hire in Oldbury
Could you serve in Ivy Hatch Nature Reserve?
Only if the landowner, often the council, allows it. Check with them, and we will provide what they ask for from us.
What’s the nearest station to Oldbury for guests?
Guests can use Borough Green & Wrotham station, about 1.4 miles north-east of Oldbury.
Can you run a bar?
Yes, we do. Our drinks bar can be booked on its own or with food. We’ll check the licensing for alcohol with you.
How much is a food truck for an event?
It depends on guest numbers, the menu, the length of service and the location. Contact us for a quote.
Can we have a build-your-own taco bar?
Yes. We can set up a build-your-own taco bar, served from the truck or a serving table, with fillings, salsas and toppings to choose from. Read our taco bar guide.
Can you do gluten-free food?
We can, using corn tortillas. Corn is naturally gluten-free, though some sauces and toppings can contain gluten, so we plan gluten-free dishes carefully and give allergen information.
How is private hire different from festival trading?
A private hire is booked and quoted for you, and we do not sell to the public. Event organisers should see street food for festivals.
Do you offer a bar with the truck?
You can add our drinks bar, with margaritas, Mexican beer and aguas frescas. We’ll check the licensing with you.
The menu, item by item
Burritos
Burritos suit hungry guests.
Salsas and guacamole
Salsas and guacamole finish every order, from mild to hot.
Can I do a taco night myself?
A DIY taco night is possible for a crowd, but it is 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.
Some hosts like to do it themselves. Common snags are cold tortillas, uneven quantities and the host missing the party. If you’d rather enjoy the party, let us serve.
