Food truck hire in Wartling, from our food truck or trailer

The hatch menu is agreed with you: tacos and burritos, with bowls, nachos or quesadillas if you like, finished with salsas and guacamole. At anniversary celebrations and leaving parties, we’ll put together a menu of tacos from the hatch, burrito bowls and burritos.

In a rural place like Wartling, 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. Access, space and power are agreed with you beforehand, so there are no surprises on arrival.

Popular choices

Burritos

A burrito is a full meal in the hand.

Tacos from the hatch

Tacos are quick to serve and easy to eat standing up, and corn tortillas suit gluten-free guests.

Diets, allergies and planning

Mixed diets are straightforward to plan for, because guests can choose what suits them. A few tips:

Send allergy details in writing
Ask about parking rules if we’ll be on a road
Add a dietary question to the invitation
Ask guests with severe allergies to speak to us beforehand

We arrive in the agreed window and park where we’ve arranged. Someone on site to meet us makes it smoother.

Simple quesadillas suit younger guests, if you’d like a kids’ choice.

The process

It’s a relaxed, well-organised set-up. We agree arrival and serving times in advance, set up our truck or trailer, and get on with serving. December events in Wartling lose the light at about 3:55pm, so ask the venue about outdoor lighting where we will park. In late June, it stays light until about 9:15pm.

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.

Before we arrive

How much does Mexican catering cost?

Can I do a taco night myself?

Running your own drinks table is one option, but someone has to serve all evening. Our margarita bar guide has tips.

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. Read our guide to taco bars.

Your questions about food truck hire in Wartling

Could you serve our guests after a service at The Parish Church of St Mary Magdalene?

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.

Do you cater in villages like Wartling?

Yes, small places are no problem, given access. Tell us about lanes, gates, ground and parking.

How many guests can you serve?

Truck and trailer service normally suits around 50 to 400 guests. Festivals can be bigger, and smaller parties are quoted case by case. Tell us your numbers.

When should we book?

As early as you can, especially for summer weekends. Ask about your date even if it’s soon.

Can you cater in a back garden?

That depends on access. If the truck or trailer cannot reach the garden, a drive or a spot nearby may work, with permission. Send us a photo and we’ll talk it through.

What if the weather’s bad?

Rain doesn’t typically stop service from the truck or trailer. Plan cover for guests, such as a marquee or gazebo, and tell us if heavy rain could make the ground soft.

Can we hire a bar too?

You can add our drinks bar, with margaritas, Mexican beer and aguas frescas. Licensing is checked with you.

Which areas do you serve?

London and the South East: Greater London, Kent, Surrey, East and West Sussex, Hampshire, the Isle of Wight, Berkshire, Buckinghamshire, Milton Keynes and Oxfordshire.

Is food truck hire right for your event?

A marquee kitchen with plated service needs more space, more staff and more time. Our truck or trailer brings the kitchen and serves from one hatch, needing level ground, access and the venue’s permission. Extra dishes, drinks and longer service are priced on request, so you choose what goes in.
