About our food truck hire in Upper Ifield
Pair the truck with our Mexican drinks bar with margaritas, Mexican beer and aguas frescas, with licensing checked with you. We can add a taco-bar station next to the truck. We serve burritos, loaded nachos and vegan tacos, and it suits milestone birthdays and launch events.
Somewhere as small as Upper Ifield, food truck hire can mean a garden, a field or a barn. Tell us about narrow lanes, gates and long drives. Firm ground matters, especially after rain. We arrive ready to serve, and clear our own area when service is finished.
How the day works
Serving is quick: guests are served at the hatch or a serving station, so a crowd is looked after quickly. Afterwards we clear our area. A Christmas party in Upper Ifield with a hired food truck will be in the dark from about 3:50pm, so choose a well-lit spot for the truck or trailer. At midsummer, sunset is around 9:20pm.
- Ask us whether your date is available.
- We agree a hatch menu and send a quote.
- The spot and the way in are agreed in advance.
- On the day, guests order at the hatch and we cook to order.
- After service, we close up and leave the spot clear.

Catering for every guest
With a little notice, most diets are easy. Our advice:
- Add a dietary question to the invitation
- Think about cover if the weather turns
- Give us separate numbers for children
- Ask about parking rules if we’ll be on a road
We can serve through rain, but guests will want a covered area to eat.
Nachos for sharing at the start.

DIY taco night versus a caterer
Plenty of people try a DIY taco night at home. 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’ll do the serving.
You can host your own taco night for a crowd, but it takes planning. Fillings need slow cooking, tortillas need warming as you go, and salsas need making. Our taco bar guide explains how.
- Served from our truck or trailer at your venue, garden or event
- Vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and dairy-free options, with allergen information
- Tacos and taco bars, burritos, bowls, nachos and quesadillas
