Diets, allergies and planning
We take diets and allergies seriously. Here’s how you can help:
- Ask about parking rules if we will be on a road
- Put anyone with a severe allergy in touch with us
- Ask the venue about catering vehicles before you book
- Ask guests about dietary needs when they reply
At the end of service, we close the hatch and pack down and drive off quietly.
Our Mexican drinks bar, with margaritas, Mexican beer and aguas frescas can be added to the booking, with licensing checked with you.
Food truck hire for your event in Upperton
We cook inside our food truck or trailer, so your venue does not need a kitchen. We need a level spot, safe access and the venue’s permission, with power and water confirmed per booking. It suits winter staff parties and engagements and anniversaries, with burrito bowls, vegan tacos and tacos from the hatch.
In a rural place like Upperton, access is the main thing to plan for a hired truck: gate widths, soft ground and the route from the road all matter. We confirm power and water arrangements with you. We turn up ready to serve, and tidy our own area afterwards.

Your questions about food truck hire in Upperton
Is Upperton close to London?
It is about 42 miles from central London, and inside the area we cover.
Could you serve our guests after a service at The Parish Church of All Hallows?
Yes. The church itself isn’t where we’d set up, but a hall, field or garden close by with room for the truck or trailer can work well. Let us know the reception address and we’ll check the access.
Do you come to Upperton?
We do. Upperton is one of the places we cover. Send us your date to check availability.
What’s on the menu?
Every menu is agreed with you. Fillings might include chicken tinga, pork carnitas, al pastor-style pork and vegan options like black beans. Our sample menu has more ideas.
Can you keep it mild?
That’s your choice: we can keep the main dishes mild, with hotter salsas served separately. Read more about how spicy Mexican food is.
Can we hire a bar too?
We bring bar staff with the drinks bar and alcohol-free choices. We will talk through licensing first.
Who clears up?
We clear our own area when service is finished. For anything beyond that, such as guests’ tables, ask us.
Do you have vegan options?
Yes. Vegetarian and vegan fillings, such as spiced mushrooms or black beans, can be part of the menu, served alongside the meat options.
What’s on the menu
Tacos from the hatch
A taco is ideal food from a truck.
Burrito bowls
Rice, beans, a filling and toppings in a bowl.
