How our food truck hire works in Tipner
Our truck or trailer is available to hire for events across Tipner and nearby: gardens, venue grounds, car parks and business parks. For family celebrations and client events and product launches, we can serve fresh salsas and guacamole, loaded nachos and vegan tacos for your guests.
In a smaller place like Tipner, hiring our food truck for a party at home is often the easiest option: no venue to book, and guests order straight from the hatch. Tell us about the lane and the drive. Access, space and power are agreed with you beforehand, so there are no surprises on arrival.

Questions from Tipner
Is Tipner close to London?
About 64 miles from central London.
Is it possible to have you in Alexandra 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.
Do you cook on site?
Food is cooked to order in our food truck or trailer, or served from a build-your-own taco bar. Slow-cooked fillings are prepared in advance and kept hot on site.
How is private hire different from festival trading?
Private hire means we serve only your guests, with a menu and timings you agree with us. At festivals and markets we trade to the public.
Do you have options for kids?
Yes. Mild dishes, quesadillas and nachos can be part of the menu. Include children in your numbers.
Do you come to Tipner?
Yes. We cater across London and the South East, and Tipner is within our area and the rest of Portsmouth. To check your date, send us your details through our quote form.
What space does the truck need?
Tell us where you’d like the truck, and we will check it works. There is more in our space and power guide.
Can you do dairy-free food?
Yes, we can. Let us know your dairy-free numbers, and we’ll include them in the plan.
What food truck hire costs
The same guest numbers can mean different prices, depending on:
- The menu you choose
- How many guests we are serving
- Travel, parking and access
- Adding food to drinks, or drinks to food
Got a budget? Let us know, and we’ll suggest a menu to match. A simple menu can still feel generous.
Getting an accurate quote
We can quote more accurately with a few details. Here’s what to include:
- A photo of the space, if it’s a garden or field
- Vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free, dairy-free and allergy numbers
- The venue or postcode
- The date and rough timings
Not sure what you need yet? That is fine: give us the basics about your event, and we will make suggestions. To start, fill in our quote form.
DIY taco night versus a caterer
A DIY taco night is possible for a crowd, but it’s more work than it looks. Fillings need slow cooking, tortillas need warming as you go, and salsas need making. Our taco bar guide explains how.
If you do it yourself, work out quantities first: see how many tacos per person. Keep warmed tortillas covered, and label anything containing allergens.

Food truck hire or something else?
Burger and pizza vans are familiar. A Mexican food truck offers something less expected. A food truck can be a practical alternative to plated catering, as there’s no kitchen to hire. Contact us for a quote to compare.

If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and the access, and we will advise before booking.
