Food truck hire near Ripley
How our food truck hire works in Ripley
Guests walk up to the hatch, order and take their food away hot. It keeps things easy and relaxed. It suits wedding evening food and family reunions, with fresh salsas and guacamole, loaded nachos and burrito bowls.
For a rural spot like Ripley, food truck hire needs a little planning: gate widths, soft ground and the route from the road all matter. We confirm power and water arrangements with you. You can book food, drinks or both, so one caterer can cover more of the day.
Catering for every guest
Mixed diets are straightforward to plan for, because options can be kept separate. Here are a few tips for planning:
- Agree service times with us
- Tell us how many children are coming
- Email us any allergies
- Tell us about coeliac guests
If your timings move, let us know.
Ask about a second service later in the evening.

How the day works
Service is quick and friendly: we serve from the hatch or a serving station, so a crowd is looked after quickly. When service ends, we pack down. By late September, it’s dark in Ripley at around 7:05pm, so evening service from the truck may run past dusk. In late May, daylight lasts until about 8:55pm.
- Share your plans for the event.
- We suggest fillings and dishes for every diet.
- We check power, water and timings with the venue.
- Service runs at the times you choose.
- Once service ends, we tidy up and go.

Should I do it myself?
A DIY taco night works well for a small group. For larger numbers, mixed diets or a wedding, a caterer takes the pressure off, with allergen information for every dish.
Plenty of people try a DIY taco night at home. Common snags are cold tortillas, uneven quantities and the host missing the party. If you’d rather enjoy the party, let us serve.
Before you choose a spot
The route in matters as much as the spot itself. We need:
- A flat parking spot on firm ground or hardstanding
- Space in front of the hatch for guests to queue
- Any parking or loading permission needed for street locations
Not sure about your space? Send us a picture and we will tell you honestly.
- 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
