About our food truck hire in Shippon
We serve when you want us to: a set lunch hour, an evening slot or a few hours through a party. Let us know your running order. We serve quesadillas, loaded nachos and tacos from the hatch, and it is a good fit for private parties in fields and grounds and client hospitality.
Somewhere as small as Shippon, food truck hire can mean a garden, a field or a barn. Tell us about narrow lanes, gates and long drives. Firm ground matters, especially after rain. Everything is prepared fresh for your event and served from our food truck or trailer.

Burger and pizza vans are familiar. A Mexican food truck offers something less expected. Extras, such as more dishes, extra drinks or a longer service, are quoted on request, so you choose what goes in.
Why book with us
- Allergen-aware menus
- Food and drinks from one caterer, if you want both
- A quote that sets out what’s included
- Options for vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and dairy-free guests

Can I do a taco night myself?
Not sure whether to do it yourself or book a caterer? Think about numbers, diets and how much you want to enjoy the day. Contact us for a quote to compare.
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 enjoy the party, let us serve.
What’s on the menu
Loaded nachos
Nachos are good for sharing between friends.
Quesadillas
Toasted tortillas with melted cheese and a filling, cut into wedges.

Questions from Shippon
We are having a ceremony at Church of St Mary Magdalene: can you cater afterwards?
Yes. The church itself is not where we’d set up, but a hall, field or garden close by with room for the truck or trailer can work well. Let us know the reception address and we will check the access.
Is it possible to have you in Albert Park?
Only if the landowner, often the council, allows it. Check with them, and we’ll provide what they ask for from us.
Do you need electricity?
Let us know what’s available on site, such as a supply from the venue near where we will park, and we’ll confirm what we need with your quote.
What about vegan and gluten-free guests?
We plan vegan, vegetarian, dairy-free and gluten-free options, and corn tortillas suit gluten-free guests. Allergen information is available for every dish.
Do you give allergen information?
We plan allergen-aware menus, including for nut allergies, and give allergen information for every dish. We plan carefully and keep options separate, though we cannot promise a dish is allergen-free. If a guest has a severe allergy, please talk to us before the event.
Is the food made fresh?
We cook to order in our food truck or trailer kitchen, or serve from a taco bar. Fillings are slow-cooked beforehand and finished on site.
What does hiring your food truck involve?
You book the truck or trailer for set hours at your event. We cook, serve and clear away.
How many guests can you serve?
It depends on the menu and how long service runs, but around 50 to 400 guests is the usual range. For anything outside that, ask us.
For planners, venues and organisers
Booking for a company? Tell us what your finance team needs, and we will explain how it works. We can work with your facilities team on access and timings.
Events in public spaces, like parks, normally need permission. We will provide the information the landowner or council asks for from us.
What we need at the venue
No two venues are the same, so we ask about the space when you get in touch. Generally, we look for:
- The venue’s or landowner’s permission for a food truck
- A spot away from neighbours
- A way in wide and high enough for the vehicle
If you are unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think.
On the menu in Shippon
