How our food truck hire works in Otterbourne
Fillings might include carnitas, al pastor-style pork or chicken tinga, alongside a vegan option such as spiced mushroom. We plan for vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and dairy-free guests. For private parties in fields and grounds and launch events, we’ll put together a menu of quesadillas, burrito bowls and burritos.
For a rural spot like Otterbourne, food truck hire needs a little planning: the gate, the ground and the distance from the lane. We confirm power and water arrangements with you. We serve from the hatch of our truck or trailer, or from a serving station, and we plan service so the queue keeps moving.
Organising for someone else?
If you’re planning an event on someone’s behalf, such as a wedding planner, an office manager or a festival organiser, we will work directly with you and the venue. It keeps things simple.
For larger events, we plan serving points around your timings, so guests are looked after quickly. Tell us how long you have for food and drinks.

Catering for every guest
A Mexican menu is easy to plan for mixed diets, because guests can choose what suits them. Here are a few tips for planning:
- Plan a covered area for guests to eat
- Walk the access route and note narrow gaps
- Flag any coeliac guests
- Ask guests with severe allergies to speak to us beforehand
We drive in at the agreed time and park in the planned spot. Someone on site to meet us makes it smoother.

Otterbourne: your questions answered
Can you cater a reception after a service at Church of St Matthew?
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 will check the access.
How far is Otterbourne from central London?
It is about 64 miles from central London, and inside the area we cover.
What if the weather’s bad?
We can keep serving from the truck or trailer in the rain, but your guests will want somewhere covered, like a marquee or gazebo.
How far ahead should we book?
As early as you can, especially for summer weekends. Ask about your date even if it is soon.
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.
Do you take everything away?
We pack down and tidy our own area after service. For anything beyond that, such as guests’ tables, ask us.
What does it cost to hire the truck?
We do not publish set prices, because each hire is different. Send your details and you’ll get a quote. Our food truck hire guide explains what affects the cost.
What do you need at the venue?
Level, firm ground or hardstanding for the truck or trailer, and a route in it can fit through, plus the venue’s permission. We confirm power and water with you for each booking.

Comparing your options
A hog roast suits meat eaters well, but tacos and bowls make vegan, gluten-free and dairy-free guests easier to feed. A food truck can be a practical alternative to plated catering, because it needs no venue kitchen. Contact us for a quote to compare.

How it works
The truck or trailer tends to draw a crowd, so we will help you choose a spot with room for a queue. Rain doesn’t usually stop us serving, though guests will want somewhere covered to stand or sit. Planning a private evening event in Otterbourne? Sunset is around 8:55pm in late May and 9:25pm in late June. Once it’s dark, some lighting near the hatch makes ordering easier.
- Share your plans for the event.
- We suggest fillings and dishes for every diet.
- Power, water and timings are agreed with you or the venue.
- Service runs at the times you choose.
