The hatch opens at the time you choose.
Add a build-your-own taco bar beside the truck for a wedding breakfast or lunch.
How the day works
Service is quick and friendly: we serve from the hatch or a serving station, so even a long queue moves. Afterwards we clear our area. A hired food truck at a summer event in Abbotswood can serve in daylight until about 9:20pm at midsummer, while late September brings sunset forward to around 7:05pm. For winter events, dark by about 3:55pm, plan lighting where guests queue at the hatch.
- Tell us what the event is and who’s coming.
- We suggest fillings and dishes for every diet.
- Power, water and timings are agreed with you or the venue.
- Service runs at the times you choose.
- Once service ends, we tidy up and go.
How to prepare

- Plan a covered area for guests if rain is likely
- Confirm numbers and diets before the day

What else we do in Abbotswood
Your questions about food truck hire in Abbotswood
Is it possible to have you in Stoke Park?
It depends on the park’s owner, who would need to agree to a catering vehicle on site. Ask them first; if they say yes, we’ll send what they need from us.
Which station is closest to Abbotswood?
Abbotswood has its own station: London Road (Guildford) station.
Do you clear up afterwards?
We pack down and tidy our own area after service. Ask us if you’d like help with anything else.
How big an event can you cater?
That depends on the menu and the service time, but around 50 to 400 guests is the usual range. Tell us your numbers and we will advise.
How much space do you need?
Level, firm ground or hardstanding for the truck or trailer, and a route in it can fit through, plus the venue’s permission. We confirm power and water with you for each booking.
How many guests can the truck serve?
That depends on your timings and the event. As a guide, it’s around 50 to 400 guests, so tell us your numbers.
Do you need power and water?
Let us know what’s available on site, for instance a supply from the venue, and we’ll confirm what we need with your quote.
What do you need at the venue?
Tell us where you’d like the truck, and we’ll check the access. Our guide to space and power has more.
Space, access and the venue
We serve from a truck or trailer, so where we park matters. Here’s what we look for:
- A parking suspension, where a street spot is needed
- Space in front of the hatch for guests to queue
- Firm, level ground or hardstanding where the truck or trailer can park
Not sure about your space? Send us a picture and we will tell you honestly before booking.

For event organisers in Abbotswood
If you’re organising for someone else, whether you are a planner, an office manager or an event organiser, we will work directly with you and the venue. It saves passing messages back and forth.
If your event is in a public space, such as a park, check what permission you need first. We’ll provide the information the landowner or council asks for from us.
DIY taco night or a caterer?
Doing it yourself? Start with the quantities: our guide to how many tacos per person helps. Keep tortillas warm in a covered basket, and label anything containing allergens.
DIY catering keeps costs down, but the host spends the party serving. Booking a caterer means you can relax with everyone else.
How it compares
A marquee kitchen with plated service needs more space, more staff and more time. A food truck arrives as a kitchen and serves from the hatch, needing level ground, access and the venue’s permission. There is no one-size-fits-all price for food truck hire. A short lunch service for a team is a different job from a full wedding day. Contact us for a quote.
