Food truck hire for your event in Pains-Hill
You could pick fillings such as chicken tinga, carnitas or beef birria, alongside a vegan option such as spiced mushroom. We plan for gluten-free, dairy-free, vegetarian and vegan guests, and corn tortillas suit gluten-free diets. It works well for end-of-year celebrations and anniversary celebrations, serving burrito bowls, vegan tacos and fresh salsas and guacamole.
Somewhere as small as Pains-Hill, food truck hire can mean a garden, a field or a barn. Lanes, gates and long drives are fine if we know about them. Firm ground matters, especially after rain. You will know what’s included before booking: the menu, the service time and any extras you choose.
Pains-Hill questions
We’re having a ceremony at St Andrew's: can you cater afterwards?
Yes, at a nearby garden, marquee or hall with access for the truck or trailer. Service would be at the reception venue, not the church. Send us the reception address.
Which station should guests use for Pains-Hill?
Hurst Green station, about 0.9 miles west of the centre.
Can you cater in a back garden?
That depends on access. If the truck or trailer can’t reach the garden, a drive or a spot nearby may work, with permission. Send us a picture and we’ll talk it through.
Do you cater for vegetarian guests?
Yes. Vegetarian and vegan fillings, such as spiced mushrooms or black beans, can be part of the menu.
Do you provide plates and napkins?
Please ask us. Tell us what your venue provides, and we will set out plates, napkins and cutlery in your quote.
Do you cater in Pains-Hill?
Yes, we do. Pains-Hill is one of the places we cover. Tell us your date and we’ll check availability.
How big an event can you cater?
Truck and trailer service usually suits around 50 to 400 guests. Smaller parties are quoted case by case, and festivals can be larger. Tell us your numbers.
How spicy is the food?
It is up to you: we can keep it mild and put the hotter salsas on the side. Read more about how spicy Mexican food is.
How the day works
Service is quick and friendly: guests are served at the hatch or a serving station, so even a long queue moves. When service ends, we pack down. By late September, it is dark in Pains-Hill at around 7:05pm, so evening service from the truck may run past dusk. A late-May event keeps its light until roughly 8:50pm.
- Send us your date, the address, a headcount and dietary needs.
- You get a hatch menu and a quote for the hire.
- Before the day, we agree the spot, the way in, power and water.
- Your guests order at the hatch and we serve hot food at the agreed times.
- When service ends, we pack up and leave the spot clear.
How to prepare
- Check the venue is happy to have a truck or trailer on site
- Have a marquee or gazebo ready in case of rain
- Send us final numbers and dietary needs in good time

A Mexican menu is easy to plan for mixed diets, because options can be kept separate. Here are a few tips for planning:
- Plan a covered area for guests to eat
- Look into parking permissions if the truck can’t go off-road
- Flag any coeliac guests
- Measure gates and look for low branches on the way in
Allergen information is available at the hatch for every dish, so guests can ask before ordering.
Ask us about evening food later on.
Before you choose a spot

- Enough width and height on the route in

DIY taco night versus a caterer
You can host your own taco night for a crowd, but it takes planning. Fillings need slow cooking, tortillas need warming as you go, and salsas need making. 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 be with your guests, we will do the serving.
