Food truck hire in Arford
Food truck hire for your event in Arford
We bring the truck or trailer to private and work events in and around Arford: gardens, venue grounds, car parks and business parks. Popular choices include loaded nachos, burrito bowls and vegan tacos, which works well for winter staff parties and staff appreciation days.
Near Arford, a hired food truck in a field or garden suits private parties and work away days alike. Guests order at the hatch, so plan a sheltered spot for the queue in case of rain. We will check the space, access and power with you before the day, so set-up goes smoothly.
Working with your venue
For big numbers, we plan service to keep queues short, so everyone is served promptly. Tell us how long you have for food and drinks.

If you are unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think before you book.

How to get a price
Most quotes start with a few simple details: the date, where the event is, how many guests and any dietary needs. To send them, drop us a line using the enquiry form.
Planning help
Catering for every guest
Dietary needs are easy to plan for with a little notice. We suggest:
- Share your running order
- Ask guests about dietary needs when they reply
- Ask about parking rules if we’ll be on a road
- Confirm the venue accepts outside caterers and vehicles
Wet weather does not close the hatch, though a marquee or gazebo helps guests stay dry.
Add a build-your-own taco bar beside the truck.

Your questions about food truck hire in Arford
We are having a ceremony at Church of All Saints: can you cater afterwards?
Yes, at a nearby garden, marquee or hall with access for the truck or trailer. Service would be at the reception venue, not the church. Tell us where the reception will be.
Do you come to events in the Surrey Hills National Landscape?
We do, where the venue allows a catering vehicle. Lanes can be narrow and ground soft, so tell us how we’d get in.
Do you cover Arford?
Yes. We cover London and the South East, including Arford. To check your date, use our quote form.
Can we hire a bar too?
The drinks bar comes with bar staff. Alcohol needs the right licence, which we will check with you.
What do you need at the venue?
A firm, level spot, a way in that fits the vehicle, and the venue’s agreement. We confirm power and water when you book.
Can you cater for vegetarians and vegans?
Yes, they’re part of the planning from the start. Tell us your numbers when you ask for a quote.
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 plan gluten-free dishes carefully and give allergen information.
What about vegan and gluten-free guests?
We plan for diets before the day, though we can’t guarantee there are no traces of any allergen. Anyone with a severe allergy should contact us before the event.

DIY taco night versus 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.
DIY catering keeps costs down, but the host spends the party serving. Booking a caterer means you can relax with everyone else.
