How we price food truck hire
Your quote will be clear. What affects it most:
- The length of service
- Distance and access to the venue
- Guest numbers
- Plates, napkins and cutlery
Cost depends on guest numbers, the menu and the length of service, plus any add-ons and the location. We quote for each event individually.
What to tell us
The more we know about your event, the better we can plan. Please include:
- The date and time of the event
- The address or venue name
- What you’d like on the menu
- Diets and allergies you know about
Not sure what you need yet? That’s fine: tell us about the occasion and the guests, and we will make suggestions. When you are ready, drop us a line using the enquiry form.
Food truck hire in Woodlands, served fresh
Food truck hire means our truck or trailer is booked for your guests only. It’s a private booking, not public trading, so we plan the menu and service times around you. Popular choices include vegan tacos, tacos from the hatch and loaded nachos, and it’s a good fit for private outdoor parties and family celebrations.
In a small place like Woodlands, a hired food truck might park in a garden, paddock or field. Lanes, gates and long drives are fine if we know about them. Soft ground after rain is worth mentioning too. Timings are planned around your event, whether that is speeches, a lunch break or a festival schedule.
DIY taco night or a caterer?
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.
Running your own drinks table is one option, but someone has to serve all evening. Our margarita bar guide has tips.
Space, access and the venue
We will be honest if a space won’t work, and suggest an alternative. What matters most:
- Arrangements for power and water, agreed when you book
- Firm, level ground or hardstanding where the truck or trailer can park
- Any parking or loading permission needed for street locations
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and the access, and we’ll advise.

Yes, we offer gluten-free options, using corn tortillas. Tell us about any coeliac guests before the event so we can explain how we prepare their food. See are corn tortillas gluten-free?

How the day works
The truck or trailer needs a level, firm spot with access to drive in, with power and water arrangements agreed beforehand. Send us a picture of the space if you are unsure. December events in Woodlands lose the light at about 4:00pm, so ask the venue about outdoor lighting where we will park. At midsummer, sunset is around 9:25pm.
- First come the basics: date, location, numbers and diets.
- You get a hatch menu and a quote for the hire.
- Where the truck or trailer will stand, the route in, and power and water are all agreed in advance.
- Your guests order at the hatch and we serve hot food at the agreed times.
- Once guests are fed, we clear our area and head off.
Preparing for the day
- Pick a flat, firm spot for us to park
- Ask the venue about power and water
- Give us your final numbers and diets
