Food truck hire in St Michaels
About our food truck hire in St Michaels
The hatch menu is agreed with you: tacos, burritos, burrito bowls, loaded nachos or quesadillas, with fresh salsas and guacamole. We serve burrito bowls, quesadillas and tacos from the hatch, which works well for summer parties at home and engagements and anniversaries.
Near St Michaels, a hired food truck in a field or garden suits private parties and work away days alike. Guests queue at the hatch, so have some cover ready in case of rain. We turn up ready to serve, and tidy our own area afterwards.
For planners, venues and organisers
If you’re organising for someone else, such as a wedding planner, an office manager or a festival organiser, we’re happy to deal with you and the venue directly. It saves passing messages back and forth.
Planning an event for a club, school or charity in St Michaels? A truck or trailer serves a crowd quickly, with options for most diets. Give us the details and we will suggest a plan.
Planning for every diet
With a little notice, most diets are easy. We suggest:
- Collect diets and allergies with your RSVPs
- Tell us about coeliac guests
- Have shelter ready in case of rain
- Agree service times with us
We arrive in the agreed window and park where we’ve arranged. Someone on site to meet us makes it smoother.
A taco-bar station can sit next to the truck.
St Michaels: your questions answered
Could you serve in Turners Field?
Only if the landowner, often the council, allows it. Check with them, and we’ll provide what they ask for from us.
Do you come to events in the High Weald National Landscape?
Yes. Some venues there have rules about vehicles, ground and catering, so check with yours. Tell us about narrow lanes and soft ground.
How is private hire different from festival trading?
A private hire is booked and quoted for you, so we do not serve passers-by. Event organisers should see street food for festivals.
Can you cater in a back garden?
Yes, if the truck or trailer can get in and park on level, firm ground. Tell us about the drive, gates and any slopes.
How many guests can you serve?
Our truck and trailer service normally suits events of around 50 to 400 guests. Festivals can be bigger, and smaller parties are quoted case by case. Send us your numbers and we will advise.
Can you plan for allergies?
Yes, and it helps to hear about allergies when you book. Under UK rules, caterers must give information on 14 allergens, and we give it for every dish (Food Standards Agency guidance). For severe allergies, please talk to us first.
How does food truck hire work?
You hire the truck or trailer for agreed service times. We cook to order, serve from the hatch and pack down afterwards.
What do you need at the venue?
Tell us where you’d like the truck, and we will check it works. Our guide to space and power has more.
