Food truck hire for Woodcote events

Food truck hire in Woodcote, from our truck or trailer

The hatch menu is agreed with you: tacos, burritos, burrito bowls, loaded nachos or quesadillas, with fresh salsas and guacamole. It suits launch events and private parties in fields and grounds, with burrito bowls, loaded nachos and quesadillas.

Hiring a food truck in Woodcote starts with where it can park. A courtyard, forecourt or drive can work, with permission, and a parking suspension may be needed on some streets. All of Greater London is inside the ULEZ. We cater for vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and dairy-free guests, and we give allergen information for every dish.

The process

Service is quick and friendly: guests are served at the hatch or a serving station, so even a long queue moves. Afterwards we clear our area. Planning a private evening event in Woodcote? Sunset is around 8:50pm in late May and 9:20pm in late June. After that, festoon lights or lamps near the truck help guests order.

  1. First come the basics: date, location, numbers and diets.
  2. We suggest a menu for the hatch and quote for it.
  3. Before the day, we agree the spot, the way in, power and water.
  4. On the day we drive in, set up and serve to order from the hatch.
  5. When service ends, we pack up and leave the spot clear.

Getting ready for the day

  • Give us a contact for the day
  • Check the venue is happy to have a truck or trailer on site
  • Confirm numbers and diets before the day

Getting a price

Not sure what you need yet? No problem: give us the basics about your event, and we will make suggestions. To start, send a quick message through our quote form.

Planning help

How we price food truck hire

Each event is quoted on its own, based on a few main things:

  • Travel, parking and access
  • Serving staff
  • Whether you add a drinks bar or food
  • The menu you choose

When you compare quotes, check what each one includes: service time, staff, plates and napkins, travel and VAT. Our quote sets out what’s included.

What we need to know

Good planning starts with a few facts. Please include:

  • Gate widths, slopes and the ground
  • A picture of where we’d park
  • Vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free, dairy-free and allergy numbers
  • Your date and when you want service to start

A detailed enquiry gets a more accurate quote: the venue, the timings, food or drinks or both, and the access. When you’re ready, send us your details through our quote form.

Diets, allergies and planning

A little planning makes sure everyone can eat. Try these:

  • Check parking and loading rules for street locations
  • Plan a covered area for guests to eat
  • Check early that your venue allows food trucks
  • Share your running order

Allergen information is available at the hatch for every dish, so guests can ask before ordering.

Margaritas, Mexican beer and aguas frescas from our drinks bar can be added to the booking, with licensing checked with you.

DIY taco night or a caterer?

Doing it yourself? Start with the quantities: see how many tacos per person. Keep tortillas warm in a covered basket, and label anything containing allergens.

A DIY taco night works well for a small group. For big numbers or lots of diets, a caterer makes life easier, with allergen information for every dish.

What’s on the menu

Quesadillas

Crisp tortillas folded round melted cheese.

Tacos from the hatch

Tacos made to order at the hatch, with a choice of fillings agreed with you.

Woodcote: your questions answered

We are having a ceremony at St Swithun's: can you cater afterwards?

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 will check the access.

What about parking in Woodcote?

That depends on the street. A drive, a courtyard or a bay suspended by the council can all work, so tell us what’s outside your venue. The ULEZ covers all of Greater London.

Do you offer a bar with the truck?

Our Mexican drinks bar can be added to a truck booking, serving margaritas, Mexican beer, aguas frescas and soft drinks. Licensing is checked with you.

How many guests can you serve?

Our truck and trailer service typically suits events of around 50 to 400 guests. Festivals can be bigger, and smaller parties are quoted case by case. Send us your numbers and we’ll advise.

What areas do you cover?

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

Do you cater for dietary needs?

There are gluten-free, dairy-free, vegetarian and vegan options, and corn tortillas suit gluten-free guests. Every dish has allergen information.

How spicy is the food?

We can keep it mild, and hotter salsas go on the side for guests who like heat.

Do you have gluten-free options?

Yes, with corn tortillas. Corn is naturally gluten-free, though some sauces and toppings can contain gluten, so we check every dish and give allergen information.

Food truck hire or something else?

If you want guests to remember the food, hiring a Mexican food truck is worth considering in Woodcote. Larger events can cost less per head, since the set-up is much the same either way. Give us your numbers and we’ll quote.
