Before you choose a spot
We serve from a truck or trailer, so where we park matters. Here’s what we look for:
- A flat parking spot on firm ground or hardstanding
- Somewhere for guests to sit or stand and eat
- The landowner’s go-ahead for the truck or trailer
Princelett is a more remote spot, so tell us early and we’ll plan the journey and access for the truck or trailer.
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and the access, and we will advise.

About our food truck hire in Princelett
We cook inside our truck or trailer, so your venue does not need a kitchen. What we do need is level ground, a way in and the venue’s agreement, with power and water confirmed per booking. At launch events and wedding receptions, we can serve fresh salsas and guacamole, loaded nachos and tacos from the hatch and more.
In a small place like Princelett, a hired food truck might park in a garden, paddock or field. Lanes, gates and long drives are fine if we know about them. Firm ground matters, especially after rain. Timings are planned around your event, so service starts when you want it.

How it works
We work to your timings. If speeches run late or the photos take longer, let us know and we’ll adjust where we can. Late-September events in Princelett see sunset at about 7:10pm, so evening service from the truck may run past dusk. In late May, daylight lasts until about 8:55pm.
- Tell us the date, the location, rough numbers and any diets.
- You get a hatch menu and a quote for the hire.
- We confirm the parking spot, access, power and water with you or the venue.
- On the day we drive in, set up and serve to order from the hatch.
- When service ends, we pack up and leave the spot clear.
Preparing for the day
- Plan a covered area for guests if rain is likely
- Give us a contact for the day

DIY taco night versus a caterer
A DIY taco night works well for a small group. For larger numbers, mixed diets or a wedding, a caterer takes the pressure off, and handles allergen information for you.
If you do it yourself, work out quantities first: see how many tacos per person. Keep tortillas warm in a covered basket, and label dishes for guests with allergies.
- Served from our truck or trailer at your venue, garden or event
- Vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and dairy-free options, with allergen information
- Tacos and taco bars, burritos, bowls, nachos and quesadillas
- Mexican drinks bar: margaritas, Mexican beer and aguas frescas
