About our food truck hire in The Valley
Food truck hire suits weddings, milestone birthdays and staff events. At weddings and winter staff parties, we will put together a menu of quesadillas, fresh salsas and guacamole and tacos from the hatch and more.
In a rural place like The Valley, access is the main thing to plan for a hired truck: the gate, the ground and the distance from the lane. Power and water may be limited, so we confirm the arrangements before the day. Food and drinks can be booked together or separately, so the food and drinks can come from one caterer.
Where the truck can go in The Valley
Before the day, we will agree where we park and serve. A good spot ticks these boxes:
- Room for guests to gather at the hatch
- Seating or standing room near the truck
- Distance from houses and windows
If you are unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think.

What’s the nearest station to The Valley for guests?

We can. We offer dairy-free options, and we’ll tell you which dishes contain milk.
How long are you on site?
That depends on your event and menu. We agree arrival, service and pack-down times with you so everything fits your schedule.
Can you keep it mild?
The food can be kept mild, with hotter salsas on the side for anyone who wants more heat.
What space does the truck need?
A firm, level spot, a way in that fits the vehicle, and the venue’s agreement. Power and water are confirmed with each booking.

The process
On the day, we position the truck or trailer and get the serving area ready. Service starts at the time we have agreed, so everything runs to your schedule. By late September, it’s dark in The Valley at around 7:00pm, so a later service will need some lighting. In late May, daylight lasts until about 8:45pm.
- Tell us what the event is and who’s coming.
- Together we plan dishes that cover your guests’ diets.
- We check power, water and timings with the venue.
- The truck serves at the agreed times.
- When everyone is fed, we clear our area.
Before we arrive
- Share the running order, including any speeches
- Confirm numbers and diets before the day
- Let us know who to talk to on the day
Getting a price
Every quote is put together for your event. Give us your date and numbers, and we’ll confirm whether we’re available that day.

Food truck hire or something else?
Burger and pizza vans are familiar. A Mexican food truck offers something less expected while staying easy to eat. 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. Your quote sets it all out.

Should I do it myself?
A DIY taco night works well for a small group. For larger numbers, mixed diets or a wedding, a caterer takes the pressure off, with allergen information for every dish.
Doing it yourself? Start with the quantities: see how many tacos per person. Keep warmed tortillas covered, and label anything containing allergens.
