Food truck hire in Woodlands
About our food truck hire in Woodlands
You choose the hatch menu with us: tacos and burritos, with bowls, nachos or quesadillas if you like, with fresh salsas and guacamole. It suits client events and product launches and leaving dos and retirements, with vegan tacos, tacos from the hatch and burritos.
Somewhere as small as Woodlands, food truck hire can mean a garden, a field or a barn. Tell us about narrow lanes, gates and long drives. Soft ground after rain is worth mentioning too. Guests are served from our truck or trailer, or from a serving table nearby, and we plan service so the queue keeps moving.
How the day works
It’s a relaxed, well-organised set-up. Arrival and serving times are agreed beforehand, get the serving area ready, and serve without fuss. By late September, it’s dark in Woodlands at around 7:05pm, so evening service from the truck may run past dusk. A late-May event keeps its light until roughly 8:50pm.
- Check our availability for your date.
- You get a menu for the hatch and a quote.

Before you choose a spot
The route in matters as much as the spot itself. We need:
- Arrangements for power and water, agreed when you book
- Somewhere for guests to sit or stand and eat
- A way in wide and high enough for the vehicle
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and the access, and we will advise.
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.
DIY catering keeps costs down, but the host spends the party serving. With a caterer, you get the food and drinks without the work.

Questions from Woodlands
Will you travel to a small place like Woodlands?
Yes. Villages and hamlets are part of our area, and the main thing is access: tell us about the lane, the gate and the ground.
Is it possible to have you in Kemsing Down?
Only if the landowner, often the council, allows it. Check with them, and we will provide what they ask for from us.
Is the food made fresh?
Fillings are slow-cooked in advance, then finished and kept hot on site. Tortillas are warmed on site, and salsas and guacamole are made fresh.
Do you cater for coeliacs?
Yes, gluten-free options are available, made with corn tortillas. Tell us about any coeliac guests before the event so we can talk through how their food is prepared. See are corn tortillas gluten-free?
How much does food truck hire cost?
We don’t publish set prices, because each hire is different. Tell us your plans and we’ll quote for your event. See the Mexican catering cost guide for background.
What happens if it rains?
We can keep serving from the truck or trailer in the rain, but guests need somewhere covered to eat and drink, like a marquee or gazebo.
Do you have vegan options?
Yes. Vegetarian and vegan fillings, such as spiced mushrooms or black beans, can be part of the menu.
