Food truck hire in Setley, from our food truck or trailer
Everyone orders at the hatch and gets food cooked to order. It keeps things easy and relaxed for guests and hosts. For company away days and wedding evening food, we can serve tacos from the hatch, vegan tacos and burrito bowls and more.
For a rural spot like Setley, food truck hire needs a little planning: gate widths, soft ground and the route from the road all matter. We confirm power and water arrangements with you. Guests are served from our food truck or trailer, or from a serving table nearby, and we plan service so the queue keeps moving.
How it compares

DIY taco night or a caterer?
You can host your own taco night for a crowd, but it takes planning. Fillings need slow cooking, tortillas need warming as you go, and salsas need making. Read our guide to taco bars.
If you do it yourself, work out quantities first: see how many tacos per person. Keep warmed tortillas covered, and label anything containing allergens.

Questions from Setley
Could you come to a seaside event near Setley?
Yes, as long as the site allows it and the ground is firm. Seafront and beach spots typically need permission, and wind is the main thing to plan for.
Could we book your food truck for a private event in Setley?
Yes, as long as we are available on the date and can get the truck or trailer in. Let us know about access and where we’d park.
Can we have a build-your-own taco bar?
Yes. We can set up a build-your-own taco bar, served from the truck or a serving table, with fillings, salsas, guacamole and toppings. Read our taco bar guide.
How much does food truck hire cost?
We quote for every hire, depending on numbers, menu, location and timings. Contact us for a quote.
Do you have vegan options?
Yes. We can include vegetarian and vegan fillings like black beans or spiced mushrooms, served alongside the meat options.
How is private hire different from festival trading?
Private hire means we serve only your guests, with a menu and timings you agree with us. Festival and market trading is open to the public; see our street food catering page.
How far ahead should we book?
Early, particularly for summer Saturdays. Ask about your date even if it’s soon.
Do you have gluten-free options?
Yes, with corn tortillas. Corn tortillas are naturally gluten-free, but some fillings, sauces and toppings may not be, so we check every dish and give allergen information.
