How our food truck hire works in Thakeham
Our drinks bar can be hired with the truck for margaritas, Mexican beer and aguas frescas. We can add a taco-bar station next to the truck. At leaving dos and retirements and company away days, we’ll put together a menu of tacos from the hatch, burrito bowls and fresh salsas and guacamole and more.
In a small place like Thakeham, a hired food truck might park in a garden, paddock or field. Tell us about narrow lanes, gates and long drives. Soft ground after rain is worth mentioning too. Your quote sets out what’s included: the menu, the service time and any extras you choose.

Common questions in Thakeham
Do you cater in the South Downs National Park?
Yes. Some venues there have rules about vehicles, ground and catering, so check with yours. We will follow the site rules.
Can we hire your food truck for a private party in Thakeham?
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.
Can you do gluten-free food?
We can, using corn tortillas. Corn is naturally gluten-free, though some sauces and toppings can contain gluten, so we plan gluten-free dishes carefully and give allergen information.
Can guests build their own tacos?
Yes, a taco bar is one of our options. Let us know your numbers and space and we’ll recommend how to serve.
Can you cater for special diets?
Diets are planned with you in advance, though we can’t guarantee there are no traces of any allergen. Anyone with a severe allergy should contact us before the event.
How soon do we need to book?
The sooner the better. Peak dates go quickly, so get in touch early.
Do you take everything away?
We pack down and leave our area tidy. Tell us the venue’s rules on waste and clearing up and we will confirm the arrangements with your quote.
Can you do dairy-free food?
Yes, on request. Tell us how many guests need dairy-free food, and we’ll include them in the plan.
