How our food truck hire works in Patching
You choose the hatch menu with us: tacos, burritos, burrito bowls, loaded nachos or quesadillas, finished with salsas and guacamole. At staff summer parties and launch events, we can serve tacos from the hatch, fresh salsas and guacamole and burrito bowls for your guests.
For a rural spot like Patching, 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 food truck or trailer, or from a serving station, and we plan the service around your numbers.

How it works
We get there well before you want to serve, then set up and prepare everything. Guests come up to order when service opens. Late-September events in Patching see sunset at about 7:05pm, so a later service will need some lighting. In late May, daylight lasts until about 8:50pm.
- Tell us the date, the location, rough numbers and any diets.
- You get a hatch menu and a quote for the hire.
- Where the truck or trailer will stand, the route in, and power and water are all agreed in advance.
- Your guests order at the hatch and we serve hot food at the agreed times.
- After service, we close the hatch, pack down and drive away.
Getting ready for the day
- Ask the venue about power and water
- Check gates and access routes are wide and high enough
- Give us a contact for the day

For event organisers in Patching
If you’re booking for a business, tell us what your finance team needs, and we will explain how it works. We can work with your facilities team on access and timings.
Throwing a party at home? Send us a photo of the space and tell us about the drive and gates, and we’ll let you know if it is a good fit.
Can I do a taco night myself?
Plenty of people try a DIY taco night at home. The usual problems are cold tortillas, running out of a popular filling and a host stuck at the stove. If you’d rather be with your guests, we’ll do the serving.
For a small group, a taco night at home can work well. For larger numbers, mixed diets or a wedding, a caterer takes the pressure off, and handles allergen information for you.
Why choose food truck hire in Patching?
Every order is cooked and served hot, rather than waiting under foil.
