Running your own drinks table is one option, but someone still has to mix, pour and keep an eye on it all evening. Our margarita bar guide has tips.
Food truck hire for your event in Thames Ditton
We cook inside our truck or trailer, so your venue does not need a kitchen. What we do need is level ground, a way in and the venue’s agreement. For private outdoor parties and end-of-year parties, we can serve quesadillas, tacos from the hatch and loaded nachos.
Hire our food truck for an event near Thames Ditton and the kitchen comes with it; all we need is a level spot, a way in and permission. You can book food, drinks or both, so the food and drinks can come from one caterer.

- We suggest a menu for the hatch and quote for it.
- We confirm the parking spot, access, power and water with you or the venue.
