About our food truck hire in Washington
You choose the hatch menu with us: tacos and burritos, with bowls, nachos or quesadillas if you like, finished with salsas and guacamole. It suits leaving dos and retirements and garden parties, serving tacos from the hatch, vegan tacos and loaded nachos.
For a rural spot like Washington, 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 serve from the hatch of our truck or trailer, or from a serving station, and we plan service so the queue keeps moving.

DIY taco night versus a caterer
A DIY taco night is possible for a crowd, but it is more work than it looks. Fillings need slow cooking, tortillas need warming as you go, and salsas need making. Read our guide to taco bars.
Weighing up a DIY taco night against a caterer? Consider your numbers, your guests’ diets and your own time. Contact us for a quote to compare.
Food truck hire or something else?
Hiring a food truck is different from finding one at a festival. At a festival we trade to the public; when you hire us, we serve only your guests, on your timings. If you have a budget in mind, tell us, and we’ll suggest a menu that fits. A simple menu can still feel generous.
