How our food truck hire works in Puckpool
Everyone orders at the hatch and gets food cooked to order. It keeps things easy and relaxed for guests and hosts. At weddings and engagements and anniversaries, we’ll put together a menu of vegan tacos, tacos from the hatch and burritos.
Somewhere as small as Puckpool, food truck hire can mean a garden, a field or a barn. Lanes, gates and long drives are fine if we know about them. Soft ground after rain is worth mentioning too. We prepare everything fresh for your event and serve it straight from our food truck or trailer.

Working with your venue
If your event is in a public space, such as a park, check what permission you need first. We can send what the landowner or council needs from us.
If you are booking for a business, tell us what your finance team needs, and we will talk you through the process. We’re happy to liaise with facilities on access and timings.
The process
Guests tend to gather around the truck, so we plan a spot with space for people to queue. We can serve in the rain, though guests will want somewhere covered to stand or sit. Planning a private evening event in Puckpool? Sunset is around 8:55pm in late May and 9:20pm in late June. Once it’s dark, some lighting near the hatch makes ordering easier.
- Share your plans for the event.
- We suggest fillings and dishes for every diet.
- Power, water and timings are agreed with you or the venue.
- Service runs at the times you choose.
- Once service ends, we tidy up and go.

Planning help
DIY taco night or a caterer?
Not sure whether to do it yourself or book a caterer? Think about numbers, diets and how much you want to enjoy the day. Ask us for a quote and compare.
If you do it yourself, work out quantities first: see how many tacos per person. Keep tortillas warm in a covered basket, and label anything containing allergens.
Dietary needs and planning tips
Good planning keeps every guest safe and happy. Here’s how:
- Confirm the venue accepts outside caterers and vehicles
- Put anyone with a severe allergy in touch with us
- Have shelter ready in case of rain
- Share your running order
We can serve through rain, but guests will want a covered area to eat.
Add a build-your-own taco bar beside the truck for a wedding breakfast or lunch.

Extra dishes, drinks and longer service are priced on request, so you choose what goes in.
