Fillings might include carnitas, al pastor-style pork or chicken tinga, alongside a vegan option such as spiced mushroom. We plan for gluten-free, dairy-free, vegetarian and vegan guests. Popular choices include loaded nachos, quesadillas and tacos from the hatch, and it suits garden parties and leaving parties.
In a small place like Sandleford, a hired food truck might park in a garden, paddock or field. Lanes, gates and long drives are fine if we know about them. Soft ground after rain is worth mentioning too. You can book food, drinks or both, so the food and drinks can come from one caterer.

DIY taco night versus a caterer
Plenty of people try a DIY taco night at home. The usual problems are cold tortillas, running out of a popular filling and a host stuck at the stove. If you’d rather be with your guests, we will do the serving.
For a small group, a taco night at home can work well. For larger numbers, mixed diets or a wedding, a caterer takes the pressure off, with allergen information for every dish.
Dietary needs and planning tips
Dietary needs are easy to plan for with a little notice. We suggest:
- Check early that your venue allows food trucks
- Ask guests with severe allergies to speak to us beforehand
- Measure gates and look for low branches on the way in
- Send allergy details in writing
Guests come to the hatch, order and wait a short moment for hot food.
A taco-bar station can sit next to the truck for a wedding breakfast or lunch.
Step by step
The truck or trailer tends to draw a crowd, so we will help you choose a spot with room for a queue. Rain does not generally stop us serving, though guests will want somewhere covered to stand or sit. A hired food truck at a summer event in Sandleford can serve in daylight until about 9:25pm at midsummer, and by late September sunset is about 7:10pm. In December it’s dark by about 4:00pm, so the queue by the hatch needs lighting.
