Food truck hire in Slaugham, served fresh
Food truck hire means our truck or trailer is booked for your guests only. Unlike a stall at a festival or market, it’s a private hire, so we plan the menu and service times around you. It suits garden parties and family reunions, with tacos from the hatch, burritos and quesadillas.
Near Slaugham, a hired food truck in a field or garden suits private parties and work away days alike. Guests order at the hatch, so plan a sheltered spot for the queue in case of rain. We cater for gluten-free, dairy-free, vegetarian and vegan guests, and we give allergen information for every dish.

Burrito bowls
Everything from a burrito, served in a bowl.
Quesadillas
Toasted tortillas with melted cheese and a filling.
Can I do a taco night myself?
You can set up your own drinks table, but someone has to serve all evening. Our margarita bar guide has tips.
Not sure whether to do it yourself or book a caterer? Consider your numbers, your guests’ diets and your own time. Ask us for a quote and compare.
How it compares
If you want guests to remember the food, a private food truck is a strong option. Pricing depends on the event. A short lunch service for a team is a different job from a full wedding day. Your quote sets it all out.
