What affects the price in Southwood
Every event is priced individually, based on a few main things:
- Whether you need disposables
- Whether you add a drinks bar or food
- How many staff you need
- Parking and the route in
A food truck can be a practical alternative to plated catering, because it needs no venue kitchen. Contact us for a quote to compare.

About our food truck hire in Southwood
Service is planned around your timings: a set lunch hour, an evening slot or a few hours through a party. Let us know your running order and we’ll plan around it. It works well for back-garden parties and retirement parties, serving vegan tacos, loaded nachos and burritos.
In and around Southwood, our truck or trailer can work at home, in a field or at a hall. Narrow roads and soft ground are fine if we know about them. We’ll check the space, access and power with you before the day, so set-up goes smoothly.
Perfect for your event in Southwood
Every order is cooked and served hot, rather than waiting under foil.
A truck or trailer works for big and small events alike. Common bookings include:
- Wedding evening food
- Family reunions
- Client events and product launches

Your questions about food truck hire in Southwood
What’s the nearest station to Southwood for guests?
Fleet station, about 1.5 miles west of the centre.
We are having a ceremony at St John the Baptist: can you cater afterwards?
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 the truck suitable for a large group?
It depends on the event and how long service runs. Most bookings fall around 50 to 400 guests, so tell us your numbers.
How much does food truck hire cost?
We don’t publish set prices, because each hire is different. Tell us your plans and we’ll quote for your event. See the Mexican catering cost guide for background.
Do you do parties at home?
That depends on access. A drive or a spot nearby may work, with permission, if the garden itself is out of reach. Send us a picture and we will talk it through.
What about vegan and gluten-free guests?
We plan for diets before the day, though we can’t guarantee there are no traces of any allergen. Anyone with a severe allergy should contact us before the event.
What’s on the menu?
Mexican street food and drinks: tacos, taco bars, burritos, bowls, nachos and quesadillas, plus salsas, guacamole and toppings. A drinks bar is available too.
How long are you on site?
That depends on your event and menu. Timings are agreed in advance to suit your day.
A closer look at the menu
Loaded nachos
Crisp chips loaded with toppings, salsa and guacamole, for sharing.
Burritos
A large flour tortilla rolled round rice, beans, a filling and toppings.
Should I do it myself?
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 dishes for guests with allergies.
You can set up your own drinks table, but someone has to serve all evening. Our margarita bar guide has tips.
How it works
Here’s how the day usually runs: we park up and get ready, service opens at the agreed time, and we serve your guests fresh for the agreed time. At midsummer, it stays light in Southwood until about 9:25pm, while late September brings sunset forward to around 7:05pm. In December it is dark by about 3:55pm, so the queue by the hatch needs lighting.
- Ask us whether your date is available.
- 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.
- After service, we close up and leave the spot clear.
