Food truck hire for Southrope events
Food truck hire for your event in Southrope
Guests walk up to the hatch, order and take their food away hot. It is simple, quick and sociable for guests and hosts. Popular choices include loaded nachos, fresh salsas and guacamole and quesadillas, and it is a good fit for christenings and family parties and birthday parties.
In a hamlet or village like Southrope, our food truck or trailer can serve a private party or a team day in a field or garden. Guests queue at the hatch, so have some cover ready in case of rain. We serve from the hatch of our food truck or trailer, or from a serving station, and we plan service so the queue keeps moving.
Space, access and the venue
No two venues are the same, so we ask about the space when you get in touch. Generally, we look for:
- Agreement from the venue to bring in a catering vehicle
- Level, solid ground for the vehicle
- Gate widths, overhead branches and soft ground checked in advance
If you’re unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think before you book.
Food truck hire or something else?
Most guests have seen a burger van. A Mexican food truck offers something less expected while staying easy to eat. Larger events can cost less per head, since the set-up is much the same either way. Give us your numbers and we’ll quote.

How the day works
Here’s how the day usually runs: we arrive and set up, we open the hatch when you’re ready, and your guests are served fresh for the agreed time. By late September, it’s dark in Southrope at around 7:10pm, so a later service will need some lighting. In late May, daylight lasts until about 8:55pm.
- Tell us what the event is and who’s coming.
- Together we plan dishes that cover your guests’ diets.
- Power, water and timings are agreed with you or the venue.
- Service runs at the times you choose.
- Once service ends, we tidy up and go.

Should I do it myself?
Doing it yourself? Start with the quantities: our guide to how many tacos per person helps. Keep warmed tortillas covered, and label anything containing allergens.
Plenty of people try a DIY taco night at home. The usual problems are cold tortillas, running out of a popular filling and a host stuck at the stove. If you’d rather enjoy the party, let us serve.
