What’s on the menu makes a difference to the total, so tell us what you have in mind. Tell us your budget and we will suggest a menu.
Details that help
To speed things up, tell us:
- Diets and allergies you know about

We need only a few details to quote: the date, where the event is, how many guests and any dietary needs. To send them, drop us a line using the enquiry form.
Can I do a taco night myself?
Plenty of people try a DIY taco night at home. Common snags are cold tortillas, uneven quantities and the host missing the party. If you’d rather enjoy the party, let us serve.
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.

Your questions about food truck hire in Stonehills
Do you hire out your food truck for parties in places like Stonehills?
Yes, depending on the date. For a private or work event in a village or hamlet, the main thing is access: tell us about the lane, the gate and the ground.
Will you travel to a small place like Stonehills?
Yes, small places are no problem, given access. Tell us about lanes, gates, ground and parking.
What do you need at the venue?
Send us the address and a description of the spot, and we will check it works. There is more in our space and power guide.
What’s on the menu?
Every menu is agreed with you. Fillings could include chicken tinga, pork carnitas, al pastor-style pork and vegan options like black beans. See our menu for ideas.
Do you do a taco bar?
Yes. A build-your-own taco bar can be served from the truck or a serving station, with fillings, salsas and toppings to choose from.
Do you bring plates and cutlery?
That is confirmed with each quote. Tell us whether your venue has crockery or you’d prefer disposables and we will talk it through.
Do you come to Stonehills?

Can you keep it mild?
It is up to you: we can keep it mild and put the hotter salsas on the side. Read more about how spicy Mexican food is.
Is food truck hire right for your event?
A private hire is not the same as a festival stall. At a festival we trade to the public; a private hire means your guests, your menu and your timings. There’s no one-size-fits-all price for food truck hire. A short lunch service for a team is a different job from a full wedding day. Contact us for a quote.
