Food truck hire in Thorpe
Food truck hire for your event in Thorpe
Pair the truck with our Mexican drinks bar with margaritas, Mexican beer and aguas frescas. We can add a taco-bar station next to the truck. It suits back-garden parties and engagement parties, with burrito bowls, vegan tacos and burritos.
In a hamlet or village like Thorpe, our food truck or trailer can serve a private party or a team day in a field or garden. Guests order at the hatch, so plan a sheltered spot for the queue in case of rain. We’ll check the space, access and power with you before the day, so set-up goes smoothly.
Diets, allergies and planning
Allergies and diets are taken seriously. Here’s how you can help:
- Share your running order
- Walk the access route and note narrow gaps
- Send allergy details in writing
- Confirm the venue accepts outside caterers and vehicles
Guests order at the hatch and their food is handed out hot.
Loaded nachos to share while the first orders cook.
Why choose food truck hire in Thorpe?
Burger and pizza vans are familiar. A Mexican food truck offers something less expected while staying easy to eat. The price depends on guest numbers, the menu and how long you’d like us to serve, along with extras and where your event is. We quote for each event individually.

Thorpe: your questions answered
Is it possible to have you in Penton Park?
It depends on the park’s owner, who would need to agree to a catering vehicle on site. Ask them first; if they say yes, we’ll send what they need from us.
What’s the nearest station to Thorpe for guests?
The closest is Virginia Water station, roughly 1.4 miles away.
What about power on site?
Let us know what’s available on site, for example a supply from the venue, and we’ll confirm what we need with your quote.
Can you serve in the rain?
Rain doesn’t typically stop service from the truck or trailer. Plan cover for guests, such as a marquee or gazebo, and let us know if the ground gets soft after heavy rain.
Do you cater for vegetarian guests?
Yes, and we plan them in from the start. Tell us your numbers when you ask for a quote.
How many guests can the truck serve?
Hiring the truck or trailer usually suits around 50 to 400 guests. Smaller parties are quoted case by case.
Can we have a build-your-own taco bar?
Yes. A build-your-own taco bar can be served from the truck or a serving station, with fillings, salsas, guacamole and toppings.
What do you need at the venue?
Tell us where you’d like the truck, and we will check it works. There’s more in our space and power guide.
Should I do it myself?
Some hosts like to do it themselves. The usual problems are cold tortillas, running out of a popular filling and a host stuck at the stove. If you’d rather be with your guests, we will do the serving.
If you do it yourself, work out quantities first: see how many tacos per person. Keep tortillas warm in a covered basket, and label dishes for guests with allergies.
