Food truck hire near St Denys
How our food truck hire works in St Denys
Everyone orders at the hatch and gets food cooked to order. It keeps things easy and relaxed. At engagement parties and client events and product launches, we can serve burritos, fresh salsas and guacamole and vegan tacos.
For a place the size of St Denys, food truck hire at your own home is often simplest: no venue to book, and guests order straight from the hatch. Let us know about the route to the house. 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.

What happens on the day
The truck or trailer tends to draw a crowd, so we plan a spot with space for people to queue. Rain doesn’t generally stop us serving, but guests will need somewhere covered. By late September, it is dark in St Denys at around 7:10pm, so evening service from the truck may run past dusk. A late-May event keeps its light until roughly 8:55pm.
- Ask us whether your date is available.
- We agree a hatch menu and send 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.
How to prepare
- Send us final numbers and dietary needs in good time
- Let us know the timings for the day
- Let us know who to talk to on the day

Your questions about food truck hire in St Denys
Is it possible to have you in Riverside Park?
It depends on the park’s owner, who would need to agree to a catering vehicle on site. Ask them first; if they say yes, we will send what they need from us.
Could you come to a seaside event near St Denys?
We can, given firm ground and the landowner’s permission. Beaches and promenades typically need the council’s agreement, so check that first.
Do you provide drinks?
Yes, we offer a Mexican drinks bar, with margaritas, Mexican beer, aguas frescas and soft drinks. Your venue or event may need the right licence for alcohol, so we will talk licensing through with you.
Do you have options for kids?
Of course. Mild dishes, quesadillas and nachos can be part of the menu. Tell us how many children are coming.

Wedding food from a truck feels relaxed and sociable. We will check access and timings with your venue.

DIY taco night versus a caterer
You can host your own taco night for a crowd, but it takes planning. Fillings need slow cooking, tortillas need warming as you go, and salsas need making. Read our guide to taco bars.
Some hosts like to do it themselves. Common snags are cold tortillas, uneven quantities and the host missing the party. If you’d rather be with your guests, we’ll do the serving.
