About our food truck hire in Ruscombe
The hatch menu is agreed with you: tacos, burritos, burrito bowls, loaded nachos or quesadillas, finished with salsas and guacamole. On the menu are burritos, loaded nachos and vegan tacos, and it’s a good fit for engagements and anniversaries and wedding evening food.
For a rural spot like Ruscombe, food truck hire needs a little planning: the gate, the ground and the distance from the lane. We confirm power and water arrangements with you. We arrive ready to serve, and clear our own area when service is finished.
Dietary needs and planning tips
Most events have a mix of diets. To cater well for them:
- Tell us how many children are coming
- Let us know who is coeliac
- Agree service times with us
- Confirm the venue accepts outside caterers and vehicles
If your timings move, let us know and we will adjust service.
Margaritas, Mexican beer and aguas frescas from our drinks bar can join the truck.

Can I do a taco night myself?
Some hosts like to do it themselves. Common snags are cold tortillas, uneven quantities and the host missing the party. If you’d rather enjoy the party, let us serve.
For a small group, a taco night at home can work well. For big numbers or lots of diets, a caterer makes life easier, and handles allergen information for you.
