Food truck hire in Outwood, from our truck or trailer
Service is planned around your timings: a lunchtime window, an evening service or a longer slot through a party. Tell us when guests should eat and we will plan around it. At wedding receptions and birthday parties, we will put together a menu of vegan tacos, burrito bowls and burritos and more.
In a hamlet or village like Outwood, our truck or trailer can serve a private party or a team day in a field or garden. Guests queue at the hatch, so have some cover ready in case of rain. We prepare everything fresh for your event and serve it straight from our truck or trailer.

What happens on the day
Serving is quick: we serve from the hatch or a serving station, so a crowd is looked after quickly. Afterwards we clear our area. December events in Outwood lose the light at about 3:55pm, so ask the venue about outdoor lighting where we’ll park. In late June, it stays light until about 9:20pm.
- Check our availability for your date.
- We agree a hatch menu and send a quote.
- The spot and the way in are agreed in advance.
- We drive in, open the hatch and serve your guests.
- We pack down and drive away when service ends.
Getting ready for the day

DIY taco night versus a caterer
DIY catering keeps costs down, but the host spends the party serving. Booking a caterer means you can relax with everyone else.
A DIY taco night is possible for a crowd, but it is more work than it looks. Fillings need slow cooking, tortillas need warming as you go, and salsas need making. Read our guide to taco bars.
Prices and what affects them
Pricing is straightforward once we know the basics:
- Your choice of food and drinks

Got a budget? Let us know, and we’ll suggest a menu to match. A simple menu can still feel generous.
