Food truck hire in Porchfield, from our truck or trailer
As a guide, hiring the truck or trailer suits around 50 to 400 guests. Smaller gatherings are looked at case by case, so tell us how many you expect. On the menu are burrito bowls, burritos and tacos from the hatch, and it’s a good fit for company away days and wedding receptions.
In a small place like Porchfield, a hired food truck might park in a garden, paddock or field. Tell us about narrow lanes, gates and long drives. Soft ground after rain is worth mentioning too. We cater for vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and dairy-free guests, with allergen information for everything we serve.

Common questions in Porchfield
Do you cater in villages like Porchfield?
Yes, we cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Let us know about access and parking for the truck or trailer.
Do you cater at coastal events near Porchfield?
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 provide allergen information for each dish?
Yes, and it helps to hear about allergies when you book. UK law requires caterers to provide information on 14 allergens, and we do that for every dish (Food Standards Agency guidance). Anyone with a severe allergy should speak to us before the event.
Do you cater for dietary needs?
We plan for diets before the day, though we cannot guarantee there are no traces of any allergen. Anyone with a severe allergy should contact us before the event.
Do you bring plates and cutlery?
We confirm that with your quote. Tell us whether your venue has crockery or you’d prefer disposables.
When should we book?
As early as you can, especially for summer weekends. Ask about your date even if it’s soon.
Do you sell to the public at private events?
At a private hire, we serve your guests and nobody else, with a menu and timings you agree with us. Festival and market trading is open to the public; see our street food catering page.
How does food truck hire work?
You hire the truck or trailer for agreed service times. We cook, serve and clear away.
Space, access and the venue
Everything is served from our food truck or trailer, so where we park matters. These are the things we check:
- A spot away from neighbours
- A clear area for a queue at the hatch
- Firm, level ground or hardstanding where the truck or trailer can park
Out-of-the-way places like Porchfield take a little more planning, so let us know about tracks, gates and power in good time.
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and the access, and we’ll advise.
Planning for every diet
A Mexican menu is easy to plan for mixed diets, because options can be kept separate. A few tips:
- Give us separate numbers for children
- Ask guests with severe allergies to speak to us beforehand
- Send allergy details in writing
- Have shelter ready in case of rain
When service ends, we pack away.
Add a build-your-own taco bar beside the truck.
Can I do a taco night myself?
You can host your own taco night for a crowd, but it takes planning. There are fillings to slow-cook, tortillas to keep warm and salsas to make. Our taco bar guide explains how.

How it works

In December it is dark by about 4:00pm, so the queue by the hatch needs lighting.
