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. Ask us for a quote and compare.
If you do it yourself, work out quantities first: see how many tacos per person. Keep warmed tortillas covered, and label anything containing allergens.

Yes, subject to the date and access for the truck or trailer. Let us know about access and where we’d park.
Do you have vegan options?
Yes. Vegetarian and vegan fillings, such as spiced mushrooms or black beans, can be part of the menu.
Can you cater for guests who avoid dairy?
We can. We offer dairy-free options.
What does hiring your food truck involve?
You hire the truck or trailer for agreed service times. We cook to order, serve from the hatch and pack down afterwards.
Do you sell to the public at private events?
At a private hire, we serve your guests and nobody else, with a menu and timings you agree with us. At festivals and markets we trade to the public.
Can you cater for special diets?
We plan vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and dairy-free options, with corn tortillas for gluten-free guests. Every dish has allergen information.

The food can be kept mild, with hotter salsas on the side for anyone who wants more heat.
What food truck hire costs
The same guest numbers can mean different prices, depending on:
- Parking and the route in
- What’s on the menu
- How long we are needed on site
- The number of people
The cost per head can fall as numbers rise, because the set-up is similar for different sizes of event. Give us your numbers and we will quote.
What we need to know
When you get in touch, it helps to tell us:
- Expected numbers
- A picture of where we’d park
- Diets and allergies you know about
- The address or venue name
We quote for each event separately, so the price fits what you actually want. To ask for one, drop us a line using the enquiry form.
Why choose food truck hire in Shirrell Heath?
Plated catering needs a kitchen tent, waiting staff and set courses. A food truck arrives as a kitchen and serves from the hatch, needing level ground, access and the venue’s permission. A food truck can be a practical alternative to plated catering, as there’s no kitchen to hire. Contact us for a quote to compare.
