Food truck hire in Sholden Meadows, from our food truck or trailer
Pair the truck with our Mexican drinks bar with margaritas, Mexican beer and aguas frescas. A build-your-own taco bar can sit beside the truck too. At milestone birthdays and staff summer parties, we’ll put together a menu of tacos from the hatch, quesadillas and fresh salsas and guacamole and more.
In a rural place like Sholden Meadows, access is the main thing to plan for a hired truck: the gate, the ground and the distance from the lane. Power and water may be limited, so we confirm the arrangements before the day. We arrive ready to serve, and clear our own area when service is finished.
Dietary needs and planning tips
With a little notice, most diets are easy. Our advice:
- Walk the access route and note narrow gaps
- Ask guests with severe allergies to speak to us beforehand
- Ask about parking rules if we will be on a road
- Add a dietary question to the invitation
We can serve through rain, but guests will want a covered area to eat.
Simple quesadillas suit younger guests, if you’d like a kids’ choice.
Prices and what affects them
