Food truck hire for your event in Shatterling
You could pick fillings such as chicken tinga, carnitas or beef birria, with vegan choices like black bean and sweet potato. We plan for gluten-free, dairy-free, vegetarian and vegan guests, and corn tortillas suit gluten-free diets. For wedding receptions and birthday parties, we can serve tacos from the hatch, burritos and burrito bowls for your guests.
Somewhere as small as Shatterling, 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.
Catering for every guest
A Mexican menu is easy to plan for mixed diets, because guests can choose what suits them. Here are a few tips for planning:
- Ask guests about dietary needs when they reply
- Check early that your venue allows food trucks
- Look into parking permissions if the truck cannot go off-road
- Count children separately
Running late? Tell us.
A taco-bar station can sit next to the truck.
DIY taco night versus a caterer
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.

Shatterling questions
How far is Shatterling from central London?
It’s about 59 miles from central London, and inside the area we cover.
We’re having a ceremony at St Mary's Church: can you cater afterwards?
Yes, at a garden, field or venue nearby where the truck or trailer can park. We’d serve at the reception venue rather than at the church itself. Send us the reception address.
What do you serve?
We agree a sample menu with each client. Fillings could include chicken tinga, pork carnitas, al pastor-style pork and vegan options like black beans. See our menu for ideas.
How much is a food truck for an event?
Every event is quoted individually, based on what you actually need. Give us your date, numbers and menu ideas for a clear quote.
Can you serve in the rain?
We can serve from the hatch in the rain. It is worth planning a covered area for guests, and let us know if the ground gets soft after heavy rain.
Is the food made fresh?
We slow-cook fillings ahead, then finish them and keep them hot at your event. The tortillas are warmed on site, and the salsas and guacamole are made fresh.
How much space do you need?
Level, firm ground or hardstanding for the truck or trailer, and a route in it can fit through, plus the venue’s permission. We confirm power and water with you for each booking.
Can we hire a bar too?
We bring bar staff with the drinks bar. Alcohol needs the right licence, which we will check with you.
Where the truck can go in Shatterling
Everything is served from our truck or trailer, so where we park matters. Here’s what we look for:
- Enough width and height on the route in
- Room for guests to gather at the hatch
- Distance from houses and windows
If you’re unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think before booking.
