Questions from South Down
Will you travel to a small place like South Down?
Yes, we cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Let us know about access and parking for the truck or trailer.
Which station is closest to South Down?
Shawford station, about 0.6 miles north-east of the centre.
What space does the truck need?
A firm, level spot, a way in that fits the vehicle, and the venue’s agreement. Power and water are confirmed with each booking.

We clear our own area when service is finished. Ask us if you’d like help with anything else.

Our Mexican drinks bar can be added to a truck booking, with margaritas, Mexican beer and aguas frescas. Licensing is checked with you.
How much is food truck hire?
There’s no fixed price list, as every booking is different. Tell us your plans and we’ll quote for your event. Our food truck hire guide explains what affects the cost.
Is food truck hire good for weddings?
A food truck suits a relaxed wedding well. We’ll check access and timings with your venue.
Can you do gluten-free food?
Yes, with corn tortillas. Corn tortillas are naturally gluten-free, but some fillings, sauces and toppings may not be, so we plan gluten-free dishes carefully and give allergen information.
About the menu
Tacos from the hatch
A taco is ideal food from a truck.
Quesadillas
Toasted tortillas with melted cheese and a filling, cut into wedges.
Planning for every diet
Mixed diets are straightforward to plan for, because options can be kept separate. A few tips:
- Ask the venue about catering vehicles before booking
- Ask guests with severe allergies to speak to us beforehand
- Tell us about coeliac guests
- Ask guests about dietary needs when they reply
Guests come to the hatch, order and wait a short moment for hot food.
Ask us about evening food later on.
Before you choose a spot
We will agree the spot with you before the day. It needs to meet a few simple requirements:
- Some space between the truck and nearby homes
- Level, solid ground for the vehicle
- Power and water, confirmed with each booking
If you’re unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think.

The process

- You get a menu for the hatch and a quote.
- The spot and the way in are agreed in advance.
- We drive in, open the hatch and serve your guests.
- We pack down and drive away when service ends.
Before we arrive
- Give us your final numbers and diets
