Food truck hire in Tovil, served fresh
We serve when you want us to: a set lunch hour, an evening slot or a few hours through a party. Tell us when guests should eat and we will plan around it. For leaving dos and retirements and milestone birthdays, we will put together a menu of tacos from the hatch, fresh salsas and guacamole and burrito bowls.
In a smaller place like Tovil, hiring our food truck for a party at home is often the easiest option: no venue hire, and guests order at the hatch. Tell us about the lane and the drive. You will know what’s included before booking: menu, timings and any add-ons.

How it compares
A marquee kitchen with plated service needs more space, more staff and more time. A food truck arrives as a kitchen and serves from the hatch, needing level ground, access and the venue’s permission. If you have a budget in mind, tell us, and we will suggest a menu to match. A simple menu can still feel generous.

About the menu
Loaded nachos
A tray of nachos works as a starter or a late snack.
Salsas and guacamole
Fresh salsas and guacamole, made for your event.
How the day works
When we arrive, we park the truck or trailer in the agreed spot and set up. Service starts at the time we’ve agreed, so everything runs to your schedule. By late September, it’s dark in Tovil at around 7:00pm, so a later service will need some lighting. A late-May event keeps its light until roughly 8:50pm.
- Ask us whether your date is available.
- You get a menu for the hatch and a quote.
- We confirm the parking spot and the route in.
- We drive in, open the hatch and serve your guests.
- After service, we close up and leave the spot clear.
How to prepare
- Have a marquee or gazebo ready in case of rain
- Confirm the venue allows outside caterers
- Check gates and access routes are wide and high enough
Ask for a quote
Every quote is put together for your event. Give us your date and numbers, and we’ll check availability at the same time.
