Food truck hire in Slutshole, served fresh
Food truck hire suits weddings, milestone birthdays and staff events, and any gathering where guests want hot food without a sit-down meal. It works well for company away days and wedding receptions, serving burritos, fresh salsas and guacamole and tacos from the hatch.
In a rural place like Slutshole, access is the main thing to plan for a hired truck: gate widths, soft ground and the route from the road all matter. We confirm power and water arrangements with you. We serve from the hatch of our truck or trailer, or from a serving station, and we plan the service around your numbers.
How the day works
The truck or trailer tends to draw a crowd, so we plan a spot with space for people to queue. We can serve in the rain, but guests will need somewhere covered. By late September, it’s dark in Slutshole at around 7:00pm, so evening service from the truck may run past dusk. A late-May event keeps its light until roughly 8:45pm.
- Tell us what the event is and who’s coming.
- We suggest fillings and dishes for every diet.
- We check power, water and timings with the venue.
- The truck serves at the agreed times.
- Once service ends, we tidy up and go.
Preparing for the day
- Check gates and access routes are wide and high enough
- Let us know the timings for the day
- Plan a covered area for guests if rain is likely

Planners, venues and businesses
If you are planning an event on someone’s behalf, such as a wedding planner, an office manager or a festival organiser, we’re happy to deal with you and the venue directly. It keeps things simple.
If your event is in a public space, such as a park, check what permission you need first. We can send what the landowner or council needs from us.
Slutshole questions
Do you cater at coastal events near Slutshole?
We can, given firm ground and the landowner’s permission. Beaches and promenades usually need the council’s agreement, so check that first.
Could you serve our guests after a service at Church of St Michael?
Yes. The church itself isn’t 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’ll check the access.
Is private hire the same as trading at a festival?
A private hire is booked and quoted for you, so we don’t serve passers-by. Event organisers should see street food for festivals.
Can you cater for special diets?
Diets are planned with you in advance, but we cannot promise an allergen-free kitchen. Anyone with a severe allergy should contact us before the event.
How is the food prepared?
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.
When do you arrive?
We get there well before service to set up. Serving times are agreed with you in advance.
How far ahead should we book?
As soon as you have a date. Popular dates go first, so contact us early.
Where can the truck park?
A firm, level spot, a way in that fits the vehicle, and the venue’s agreement. We confirm power and water when you book.
Before you choose a spot
Access is the first thing to check for a truck or trailer. We look for:
- The landowner’s go-ahead for the truck or trailer
- A place for guests to eat close to the hatch
- Distance from houses and windows
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and the access, and we will advise.
On the menu in Slutshole
- Burritos
- Burrito bowls
- Loaded nachos
- Mexican drinks bar
- Quesadillas
- Tacos
Dietary needs and planning tips
Dietary needs are easy to plan for with a little notice. We suggest:
- Confirm the venue accepts outside caterers and vehicles
- Tell us about coeliac guests
- Plan a covered area for guests to eat
- Send allergy details in writing
Guests come to the hatch, order and wait a short moment for hot food.
Our Mexican drinks bar, with margaritas, Mexican beer and aguas frescas can join the truck.
How it compares
A private hire is not the same as a festival stall. At a festival we trade to the public; a private hire means your guests, your menu and your timings. Cost depends on guest numbers, the menu and the length of service, plus any add-ons and the location. Every event gets its own quote.
What we offer in Slutshole
- Menus for vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and dairy-free guests
- A truck or trailer that comes to you
- Tacos, burritos and a drinks bar
- A quote that sets out what’s included

DIY taco night or a caterer?
If you do it yourself, work out quantities first: our guide to how many tacos per person helps. Keep tortillas warm in a covered basket, and label anything containing allergens.
