What we need at the venue
Many gardens, fields and venues can take a truck or trailer, but there are a few things to check:
- Seating or standing room near the truck
- The venue’s or landowner’s permission for a food truck
- Some space between the truck and nearby homes
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and the access, and we’ll advise before booking.

About our food truck hire in Upper Common
You choose the hatch menu with us: tacos and burritos, with bowls, nachos or quesadillas if you like, finished with salsas and guacamole. For wedding receptions and leaving parties, we can serve vegan tacos, fresh salsas and guacamole and loaded nachos.
For a rural spot like Upper Common, food truck hire needs a little planning: the gate, the ground and the distance from the lane. Power and water may be limited, so we confirm the arrangements before the day. We plan the timings around your day, so service starts when you want it.
DIY taco night versus a caterer
Some hosts like to do it themselves. Common snags are cold tortillas, uneven quantities and the host missing the party. If you’d rather be with your guests, we’ll do the serving.
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.
Questions from Upper Common
We’re having a ceremony at Church of St. Martin: can you cater afterwards?
Yes, at a garden, field or venue nearby where the truck or trailer can park. Service would be at the reception venue, not the church. Send us the reception address.
How far is Upper Common from central London?
Roughly 48 miles from the centre of London, and well within our area.
How much is food truck hire?
There is no fixed price list, as every booking is different. Send your details and you will get a quote. See the Mexican catering cost guide for background.
How is the food prepared?
We cook to order in our food truck or trailer kitchen, or serve from a taco bar. Slow-cooked fillings are prepared in advance and kept hot on site.
Do you do food truck hire for weddings?
We can serve from the truck for the wedding meal, the evening or both. Timings are agreed with you and your venue. Read more in having a food truck at a wedding.
How is private hire different from festival trading?
A private hire is booked and quoted for you, so we do not serve passers-by. Organisers wanting us to trade at their event can see our festival page.
Who clears up?
We pack down and tidy our own area after service. Ask us if you’d like help with anything else.
Can we hire a bar too?
Our Mexican drinks bar can be added to a truck booking, serving margaritas, Mexican beer, aguas frescas and soft drinks. We’ll talk licensing through with you.
How the day works
The truck or trailer needs a level, firm spot with access to drive in, with power and water arrangements agreed beforehand. A photo of the space helps. Late-September events in Upper Common see sunset at about 7:10pm, so evening service from the truck may run past dusk. A late-May event keeps its light until roughly 8:55pm.
