About our food truck hire in Rookley Green
Pair the truck with our Mexican drinks bar with margaritas, Mexican beer and aguas frescas. We can add a taco-bar station next to the truck. Popular choices include tacos from the hatch, burrito bowls and burritos, and it’s a good fit for weddings and parties in venue grounds.
In a hamlet or village like Rookley Green, our food truck or trailer can serve a private party or a team day in a field or garden. Guests queue at the hatch, so have some cover ready in case of rain. Food and drinks can be booked together or separately, so one caterer can cover more of the day.

DIY taco night versus a caterer
If you do it yourself, work out quantities first: our guide to how many tacos per person helps. Keep tortillas warm in a covered basket, and label anything containing allergens.
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. Read our guide to taco bars.
How the day works
Guests tend to gather around the truck, so we plan a spot with space for people to queue. Rain doesn’t generally stop us serving, though guests will want somewhere covered to stand or sit. Evening events in Rookley Green stay light until about 9:20pm at midsummer. After that, festoon lights or lamps near the truck help guests order.
- Send us your date, the address, a headcount and dietary needs.
- 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.
- On the day we drive in, set up and serve to order from the hatch.
- Once guests are fed, we clear our area and head off.
How to prepare
- Have a marquee or gazebo ready in case of rain
- Tell us when you want service to start
- Get the venue’s permission for us to park and serve
