Food truck hire in Swingfield Minnis
Food truck hire in Swingfield Minnis, served fresh
Food truck hire means our food truck or trailer is booked for your guests only. It’s a private booking, not public trading, so the menu and timings are set around your event. At family reunions and garden parties, we’ll put together a menu of loaded nachos, vegan tacos and burritos for your guests.
In a hamlet or village like Swingfield Minnis, our food truck or trailer can serve a private party or a team day in a field or garden. Guests queue at the hatch, so have some cover ready in case of rain. Everything is prepared fresh for your event and served from our truck or trailer, so guests get it at its best.
What we need at the venue
Every venue is different, so we will ask about yours before we confirm. Generally, we look for:
- A flat parking spot on firm ground or hardstanding
- Any parking or loading permission needed for street locations
- The landowner’s go-ahead for the truck or trailer
If you’re unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think.

Common questions in Swingfield Minnis
Could you come to a seaside event near Swingfield Minnis?
We can, given firm ground and the landowner’s permission. Beaches and promenades generally need the council’s agreement, so check that first.
How far is Swingfield Minnis from central London?
It’s about 60 miles from central London, and inside the area we cover.
What’s on the menu?
Mexican street food and drinks: tacos and build-your-own taco bars, burritos, burrito bowls, nachos and quesadillas, plus salsas, guacamole and toppings. We also run a Mexican drinks bar, with margaritas, Mexican beer and aguas frescas.
Do you bring plates and cutlery?
Ask us when you enquire. Let us know what you already have, and we’ll set out plates, napkins and cutlery in your quote.
How soon do we need to book?
As early as you can, especially for summer weekends. Even if it is short notice, it is worth asking.
How long do you serve for?
We arrive in good time to set up before service. Serving times are agreed with you in advance, along with pack-down.
Do you have options for kids?
Yes. Mild dishes, quesadillas and nachos can be part of the menu. Include children in your numbers.
Do you cater for coeliacs?
Yes, gluten-free options are available, made with corn tortillas. Let us know about coeliac guests in advance so we can explain how we prepare their food.
Can I do a taco night myself?
If you do it yourself, work out quantities first: see how many tacos per person. Keep warmed tortillas covered, and label anything containing allergens.
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.
Diets, allergies and planning
With a little notice, most diets are easy. We suggest:
- Have shelter ready in case of rain
- Tell us how many children are coming
- Confirm the venue accepts outside caterers and vehicles
- Walk the access route and note narrow gaps
If your timings move, let us know and we will adjust service.
Ask about a second service later in the evening.
