How our food truck hire works in Wilmington
Food truck hire means our truck or trailer is booked for your guests only. It is a private booking, not public trading, so the menu and timings are set around your event. For client events and product launches and birthday parties, we can serve burritos, quesadillas and vegan tacos and more.
Somewhere as small as Wilmington, food truck hire can mean a garden, a field or a barn. Lanes, gates and long drives are fine if we know about them. Firm ground matters, especially after rain. We turn up ready to serve, and tidy our own area afterwards.
What’s on the menu
Loaded nachos
Crisp chips loaded with toppings, salsa and guacamole.
Salsas and guacamole

Planning for every diet
Every guest is catered for, vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and dairy-free included. To make it work smoothly:
- Confirm allergies with us in writing
- Put anyone with a severe allergy in touch with us
- Plan a covered area for guests to eat
- Ask the venue about catering vehicles before booking
Allergen information is available at the hatch for every dish.
Tell us what serveware you need and we will confirm the options in your quote.

DIY taco night or a caterer?
Doing it yourself? Start with the quantities: see how many tacos per person. Keep warmed tortillas covered, and label anything containing allergens.
Not sure whether to do it yourself or book a caterer? Think about numbers, diets and how much you want to enjoy the day. Contact us for a quote to compare.
Comparing your options
A marquee kitchen with plated service needs more space, more staff and more time. Our food truck or trailer brings the kitchen and serves from one hatch, needing level ground, access and the venue’s permission. Got a budget? Let us know, and we will suggest a menu that fits. A simple menu can still feel generous.

Your questions about food truck hire in Wilmington
Can we hire your food truck for a private party in Wilmington?
Yes, depending on the date. For a private or work event in a village or hamlet, the main thing is access: tell us about the lane, the gate and the ground.
Could you serve our guests after a service at St Barnabas?
Yes, at a nearby garden, marquee or hall with access for the truck or trailer. Service would be at the reception venue, not the church. Tell us where the reception will be.
How far ahead should we book?
Early, particularly for summer Saturdays. Even if it’s short notice, it’s worth asking.
Do you cater for vegetarian guests?
Yes. Vegetarian and vegan fillings, such as spiced mushrooms or black beans, can be part of the menu, served alongside the meat options.
How much is food truck hire?
We quote for every hire, based on guest numbers, the menu, the location and service times. For a price, drop us a line using the enquiry form.
Do you cook on site?
We slow-cook fillings ahead, then finish them and keep them hot at your event. The tortillas are warmed on site, and the salsas and guacamole are made fresh.
Do you do parties at home?
That depends on access. If the truck or trailer can’t reach the garden, a drive or a spot nearby may work, with permission. Send us a photo and we’ll talk it through.
What food and drinks do you offer?
Mexican street food: tacos, taco bars, burritos, bowls, nachos and quesadillas, plus salsas, guacamole and toppings. A drinks bar is available too, with margaritas, Mexican beer and aguas frescas.
Planning the serving area
Everything is served from our food truck or trailer, so the spot needs a little planning. Here’s what we look for:
- The venue’s or landowner’s permission for a food truck
- Seating or standing room near the truck
- Enough width and height on the route in
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and the access, and we will advise.
