Food from a truck or trailer feels relaxed. People wander up, order at the hatch and head off with hot food, which suits informal events. It suits summer garden parties and engagement and anniversary parties, serving burrito bowls, tacos and burritos.
Around Chalgrove, events are often in gardens, fields, local halls or nearby venues. If access is tight or the ground is soft, we will plan around it. You will know what’s included before booking: menu, timings and any add-ons.

DIY taco night or a caterer?
Doing it yourself saves money, but the host ends up in the kitchen. With a caterer, you get the food and drinks without the work.
Running your own drinks table is one option, but someone has to serve all evening. See our margarita bar guide.

About the menu
Salsas and guacamole
Every taco needs salsa and guacamole.
Burritos and burrito bowls
Burritos are filling and easy to eat on the move. The bowl version suits anyone avoiding tortillas.
Diets, allergies and planning
Allergies and diets are taken seriously. Help us by following these steps:
- Flag anyone with coeliac disease
- Ask guests about diets and allergies with your invitations
- Check that your venue allows outside caterers and vehicles
- Plan somewhere covered for guests to eat if it rains
If you’ve chosen a taco bar, the fillings, salsas and toppings go out on a serving table, and guests help themselves while we keep it topped up.
Add our Mexican drinks bar, with margaritas, Mexican beer and aguas frescas, with licensing checked with you.
Prices and what affects them
Two events with the same number of guests can cost different amounts, because of:
- Travel, parking and access
- Your choice of food and drinks
- Serving staff
- Adding food to drinks, or drinks to food
When you compare quotes, check what each one includes: serving hours, staff, disposables, travel and VAT. Our quote sets out what’s included.
What to tell us
When you contact us, it helps to tell us:
- Whether you’d like food, drinks or both
- The date and rough timings
- The address or venue name
- Expected numbers
Every quote is put together for your event. Tell us your date and guest numbers, and we’ll check availability at the same time.
How it compares
Burgers and pizza are what guests often expect. Tacos, burritos and nachos feel a little different, while still being easy food most people enjoy. If you have a budget in mind, tell us, and we’ll suggest a menu that fits. Even a simple menu can feel generous.

Common questions in Chalgrove
Could you serve our guests after a service at Church of St Mary?
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.
Do you come to events in the Chilterns National Landscape?
Yes, though some venues in protected landscapes have extra rules; ask your venue. We’ll follow the site rules.
What happens if it rains?
Rain does not normally stop service from the truck or trailer. Plan cover for guests, such as a marquee or gazebo, and let us know if the ground gets soft after heavy rain.
Do you serve in the rain?
The truck or trailer serves in the rain, but guests will need somewhere covered to eat.
Is there a minimum number of guests?
Truck and trailer service normally suits around 50 to 400 guests. Smaller parties are quoted case by case, and festivals can be larger. Send us your numbers and we’ll advise.
How soon do we need to book?
Early, particularly for summer Saturdays. Even if it’s short notice, it’s worth asking.
Can you do gluten-free food?
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.
What space do you need?
Tell us about the venue and the way in, and we will check it works. We also need room for a queue.
