Food truck hire in Thame
Can I do a taco night myself?
You can host your own taco night for a crowd, but it takes planning. There are fillings to slow-cook, tortillas to keep warm and salsas to make. Our taco bar guide explains how.
Running your own drinks table is one option, but someone still has to mix, pour and keep an eye on it all evening. See our margarita bar guide.

Common questions in Thame
Can you bring a truck or trailer to venues in the Chilterns National Landscape?
Yes, though some venues in protected landscapes have extra rules; ask your venue. We will follow the site rules.
What’s the nearest station to Thame for guests?
The closest is Haddenham & Thame Parkway station, roughly 2.1 miles away.
Can we add drinks?
We bring bar staff with the drinks bar and alcohol-free choices. Alcohol needs the right licence, which we’ll check with you.
Is the food made fresh?
Fillings are slow-cooked in advance, then finished and kept hot on site. Tortillas are warmed on site, and salsas and guacamole are made fresh.
Can you cater in a back garden?
Yes, if the truck or trailer can get in and park on level, firm ground. Send us a picture of the access and the space.
What do you need at the venue?
The main things are access and a level spot: a firm spot for the truck or trailer, room for a queue and, for a taco bar, space for a serving table. If in doubt, send us a picture of the space and the way in.
What guest numbers do you cater for?
It depends on the event and how long service runs. Most bookings fall around 50 to 400 guests.

What else we do in Thame
Catering for every guest
A Mexican menu is easy to plan for mixed diets, because options can be kept separate. Here are a few tips for planning:
- Check early that your venue allows food trucks
- Think about cover if the weather turns
- Walk the access route and note narrow gaps
- Tell us when guests should eat
We drive in at the agreed time and park in the planned spot. Someone on site to meet us makes it smoother.
Ask us about evening food later on.
Working with your venue
If you run the same event each year, tell us your dates early, so we can plan ahead.
Venues often have their own rules about outside caterers: where vehicles can park, access times and the paperwork they need. Send us your venue’s requirements and we’ll follow them.
