Your questions about food truck hire in Rudgwick
Which station should guests use for Rudgwick?
Christs Hospital station, about 4.6 miles south-east of the centre.
Will you travel to a small place like Rudgwick?
Yes, small places are no problem, given access. Tell us about lanes, gates, ground and parking.
Is the food very hot?
It’s up to you: we can keep the main dishes mild, with hotter salsas served separately.
Can we hire a bar too?
You can add our drinks bar, serving margaritas, Mexican beer, aguas frescas and soft drinks. Licensing is checked with you.
Do you cook on site?
Fillings are slow-cooked in advance, then finished and kept hot on site. The tortillas are warmed on site, and the salsas and guacamole are made fresh.
Where can the truck park?
A firm, level spot, a way in that fits the vehicle, and the venue’s agreement. Power and water are confirmed with each booking.
Can you cater for special diets?
We plan vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and dairy-free options, and corn tortillas suit gluten-free guests. Every dish has allergen information.
Do you have options for kids?
Yes, children are welcome. Let us know numbers and ages, and we’ll suggest mild options.
How our food truck hire works in Rudgwick
Pair the truck with our Mexican drinks bar with margaritas, Mexican beer and aguas frescas, with licensing checked with you. A build-your-own taco bar can sit beside the truck too. Popular choices include quesadillas, tacos from the hatch and loaded nachos, and it’s a good fit for private outdoor parties and client hospitality.
Somewhere as small as Rudgwick, food truck hire can mean a garden, a field or a barn. Lanes, gates and long drives are fine if we know about them. Firm ground matters, especially after rain. We turn up ready to serve, and tidy our own area afterwards.

Dietary needs and planning tips
We take diets and allergies seriously. Here’s how you can help:
- Flag any coeliac guests
- Tell us when guests should eat
- Guests with serious allergies should contact us first
- Have shelter ready in case of rain
We arrive in the agreed window and park where we’ve arranged. It helps if someone can meet us on arrival.
Ask about a second service later in the evening, quoted with the main booking.
DIY taco night versus a caterer
Some hosts like to do it themselves. Common snags are cold tortillas, uneven quantities and the host missing the party. If you’d rather be with your guests, we’ll do the serving.
Doing it yourself? Start with the quantities: see how many tacos per person. Keep warmed tortillas covered, and label dishes for guests with allergies.
Organising for someone else?
For repeat events, such as annual staff parties or seasonal fairs, let us know your dates early, so we can plan ahead.
Venues often have their own rules about outside caterers: vehicle access, arrival times and documents. Send us your venue’s requirements and we will follow them.
Popular choices
Loaded nachos
Tortilla chips with cheese, a filling, salsa and guacamole.
Tacos from the hatch
Warm tortillas filled to order and finished with salsa, with a choice of fillings agreed with you.

What happens on the day
Your timings come first. If speeches run late or the photos take longer, let us know and we’ll adjust where we can.

In December it is dark by about 3:55pm, so the queue by the hatch needs lighting.

- Together we plan dishes that cover your guests’ diets.
- We check power, water and timings with the venue.
- Service runs at the times you choose.
- Once service ends, we tidy up and go.

Comparing your options
A private hire is not the same as a festival stall. At public events, anyone can buy; a private hire means your guests, your menu and your timings. There is no one-size-fits-all price for food truck hire. A short lunch service for a team is a different job from a full wedding day. Your quote sets it all out.
