About our food truck hire in Steephill
Food truck hire suits weddings, milestone birthdays and staff events, and any gathering where guests want hot food without a sit-down meal. At big birthdays and engagements and anniversaries, we will put together a menu of burritos, loaded nachos and fresh salsas and guacamole and more.
For a rural spot like Steephill, food truck hire needs a little planning: gate widths, soft ground and the route from the road all matter. Power and water may be limited, so we confirm the arrangements before the day. You’ll know what’s included before you book: the menu, the service time and any extras you choose.

Planners, venues and businesses
If you are 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.
If you are booking for a business, tell us what your finance team needs, and we’ll talk you through the process. We can work with your facilities team on access and timings.
Before you choose a spot
We will agree the spot with you before the day. It needs to meet a few simple requirements:
- The venue’s or landowner’s permission for a food truck
- Power and water details confirmed in advance
- A place for guests to eat close to the hatch
Out-of-the-way places like Steephill take a little more planning, so let us know about tracks, gates and power in good time.
If you are unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think before you book.
What we offer
- Loaded nachos
- Mexican drinks bar
- Burrito bowls
- Burritos
- Quesadillas

How it works
The truck or trailer needs a level, firm spot with access to drive in, with power and water arrangements agreed beforehand. Send us a photo of the space if you’re unsure. December events in Steephill lose the light at about 4:00pm, so ask the venue about outdoor lighting where we’ll park. In late June, it stays light until about 9:20pm.
- Share your plans for the event.
- 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.
- When everyone is fed, we clear our area.
Getting ready for the day
- Tell us when you want service to start
- Measure any gates or arches on the way in
- Ask the venue about power and water

Ask about a second service later in the evening.

DIY taco night or a caterer?
A DIY taco night is possible for a crowd, but it’s more work than it looks. Fillings need slow cooking, tortillas need warming as you go, and salsas need making. Read our guide to taco bars.
For a small group, a taco night at home can work well. For big numbers or lots of diets, a caterer makes life easier, with allergen information for every dish.
- Served from our truck or trailer at your venue, garden or event
- Vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and dairy-free options, with allergen information
- Tacos and taco bars, burritos, bowls, nachos and quesadillas
- Mexican drinks bar: margaritas, Mexican beer and aguas frescas
