How it works
It is a relaxed, well-organised set-up. Arrival and serving times are agreed beforehand, get the serving area ready, and get on with serving. A Christmas party in Salfords with a hired food truck will be in the dark from about 3:55pm, so ask the venue about outdoor lighting where we’ll park. At midsummer, sunset is around 9:20pm.
- Ask us whether your date is available.
- You get a menu for the hatch and a quote.
- The spot and the way in are agreed in advance.
- On the day, guests order at the hatch and we cook to order.
- After service, we close up and leave the spot clear.
Getting ready for the day
- Have a marquee or gazebo ready in case of rain
- Let us know the timings for the day
- Measure any gates or arches on the way in

Food truck hire in Salfords, served fresh
You choose the hatch menu with us: tacos, burritos, burrito bowls, loaded nachos or quesadillas, finished with salsas and guacamole. It suits staff summer parties and garden parties, with fresh salsas and guacamole, tacos from the hatch and quesadillas.
In a hamlet or village like Salfords, our 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. Access, space and power are agreed with you beforehand, so set-up goes smoothly.
Should I do it myself?
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 be with your guests, we’ll do the serving.
Doing it yourself saves money, but the host ends up in the kitchen. Booking a caterer means you can relax with everyone else.
What’s on the menu
Tacos from the hatch
Tacos made to order at the hatch, with fillings such as carnitas, chicken tinga or spiced mushroom.
Burritos
A burrito is a full meal in the hand and travel well from the hatch.
Comparing your options
Cooking yourself saves on catering but costs you the day. With a hired truck, we do the cooking. The price depends on guest numbers, the menu and how long you’d like us to serve, plus any add-ons and the location. We quote for each event individually.
What you get with us
- Quick, friendly service from the hatch
- A clear quote
- Menus chosen with you
- Served fresh from our food truck or trailer

Catering for every guest
Nearly every event has some special diets. To cater well for them:
- Tell us about coeliac guests
- Have shelter ready in case of rain
- Check early that your venue allows food trucks
- Send allergy details in writing
If your timings move, let us know, and we’ll work around it.
Ask about a second service later in the evening.

Your questions about food truck hire in Salfords
Which station is closest to Salfords?
Salfords has its own station: Salfords station.

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.
Do you do parties at home?
Yes, if the truck or trailer can get in and park on level, firm ground. Tell us about the drive, gates and any slopes.
Can you plan for allergies?
We plan allergen-aware menus, including for nut allergies, with allergen information for every dish. We keep options separate, but we cannot promise anything is completely allergen-free. Guests with severe allergies should talk to us before the event.
Do you come to Salfords?
We do. We serve at events in Salfords and across Surrey. Send us your date to check availability.
Do you offer a bar with the truck?
The drinks bar comes with bar staff. We’ll talk through licensing first.
How does food truck hire work?
You book the truck or trailer for set hours at your event. We cook, serve and clear away.
How much space do you need?
The main things are access and a level spot: a firm spot for the truck or trailer, room for a queue and, for a taco bar, space for a serving table. If in doubt, send us a picture of the space and the way in.
