What happens on the day
Serving is quick: we serve from the hatch or a serving station, so even a long queue moves. Afterwards we clear our area. By late September, it is dark in Ratley at around 7:10pm, so a later service will need some lighting. In late May, daylight lasts until about 9:00pm.
- First come the basics: date, location, numbers and 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.
- We arrive, open the hatch and cook to order for your guests.

Before we arrive

Your questions about food truck hire in Ratley
Do you hire out your food truck for parties in places like Ratley?
Yes, depending on the date. For a private or work event in a village or hamlet, the main thing is access: tell us about the lane, the gate and the ground.
Will you travel to a small place like Ratley?
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 provide drinks?
Yes. Our drinks bar can be booked on its own or with food, with alcohol-free options such as aguas frescas. For alcohol, we’ll go through the licensing with you and your venue.
How much space do you need?
A level, firm spot for the truck or trailer, with access wide and high enough to drive in, and the venue’s agreement. We confirm power and water with you for each booking.
What’s on the menu?
Mexican street food and drinks: tacos and build-your-own taco bars, burritos, burrito bowls, nachos and quesadillas, with salsas, guacamole and toppings. We also run a Mexican drinks bar.
Is private hire the same as trading at a festival?
A private hire is booked and quoted for you, so we don’t serve passers-by. Organisers wanting us to trade at their event can see our festival page.
Can you serve in the rain?
Rain doesn’t normally stop service from the truck or trailer. Plan cover for guests, such as a marquee or gazebo, and let us know if the ground gets soft after heavy rain.
What guest numbers do you cater for?
It depends on the event and how long service runs. As a guide, it is around 50 to 400 guests, so tell us your numbers.

DIY taco night or a caterer?
