Food truck hire in Pilley, from our truck or trailer
Service is planned around your timings: a set lunch hour, an evening slot or a few hours through a party. Tell us when guests should eat. At family celebrations and staff appreciation days, we can serve burrito bowls, quesadillas and tacos from the hatch for your guests.
Somewhere as small as Pilley, food truck hire can mean a garden, a field or a barn. Tell us about narrow lanes, gates and long drives. Firm ground matters, especially after rain. We will check the space, access and power with you before the day, so set-up goes smoothly.
Diets, allergies and planning
Allergies and diets are taken seriously. Help us by following these steps:
- Agree service times with us
- Give us separate numbers for children
- Ask about parking rules if we’ll be on a road
- Ask guests with severe allergies to speak to us beforehand
Allergen information is available at the hatch for every dish, so guests can ask before ordering.
Tell us what serveware you need and we’ll confirm what’s possible.
DIY taco night or 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.
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 enjoy the party, let us serve.
Why choose food truck hire in Pilley?
A hog roast suits meat eaters well, but tacos and bowls make vegan, gluten-free and dairy-free guests easier to feed. Extra dishes, drinks and longer service are priced on request, so you choose what goes in.
What you get with us
- A menu agreed with you
- Everything served fresh from the hatch
- Options for vegan, vegetarian, dairy-free and gluten-free guests
- Quick, friendly service from the hatch

Questions from Pilley
Could you come to a seaside event near Pilley?
Yes, as long as the site allows it and the ground is firm. Wind, sand and seafront permissions are the main things to plan on the coast.
Do you come out to small places like Pilley?
Yes. Villages and hamlets are part of our area, and the main thing is access: tell us about the lane, the gate and the ground.
What food and drinks do you offer?
We agree a sample menu with each client. Fillings might include slow-cooked pork carnitas, chicken tinga, beef birria and vegan options such as spiced mushrooms or black beans. Our sample menu has more ideas.
Can you cater for vegetarians and vegans?
Yes, and we plan them in from the start. Let us know how many vegetarian and vegan guests to expect, and we will keep their options separate.
Is the food made fresh?
We slow-cook fillings ahead, then finish them and keep them hot at your event. Tortillas are warmed on site, and salsas and guacamole are made fresh.
Do you need electricity?
It depends on the event and the set-up, so we confirm power and water arrangements with each booking. Let us know whether there’s a supply near where we will park.
Can you cater in a back garden?
Yes, if the truck or trailer can get in and park on level, firm ground. Tell us about the drive, gates and any slopes, and we’ll tell you honestly whether it works.
