How our food truck hire works in Barns Green

Near Barns Green, a hired food truck in a field or garden suits private parties and work away days alike. Guests queue at the hatch, so have some cover ready in case of rain. We will check the space, access and power with you before the day, so set-up goes smoothly.

Barns Green: your questions answered
What’s the nearest station to Barns Green for guests?
Guests can use Christs Hospital station, about 1.9 miles north-east of Barns Green.
Do you cater in villages like Barns Green?
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.
How does private food truck hire work?
We bring our truck or trailer to your venue, park in the agreed spot and serve your guests from the hatch. Only your guests are served.
Do you provide allergen information for each dish?
Yes. Tell us about allergies when you book. UK law requires caterers to provide information on 14 allergens, and we do that for every dish (Food Standards Agency guidance). For severe allergies, please talk to us first.
When should we book?
As soon as you have a date. Popular dates go first, so it pays to ask early.
Do you cater in Barns Green?
Yes. We cater across London and the South East, including Barns Green. To check your date, send us your details through our quote form.
How spicy is the food?
That is your choice: we can keep it mild and put the hotter salsas on the side.
Can you cater in a back garden?
It depends on access. If the truck or trailer cannot reach the garden, a drive or a spot nearby may work, with permission. Tell us about the space and we’ll advise.
Catering for every guest
We take diets and allergies seriously. Help us by following these steps:
- Ask guests with severe allergies to speak to us beforehand
- Email us any allergies
- Ask the venue about catering vehicles before booking
- Plan a covered area for guests to eat
We drive in at the agreed time and park in the planned spot. It helps if someone can meet us on arrival.
Loaded nachos to share while the first orders cook are a good way to begin.
The menu, item by item
Salsas and guacamole
Guests can add salsa and guacamole to taste, from mild to hot.
Burrito bowls
Everything from a burrito, served in a bowl.
For planners, venues and organisers
If your event is in a public space, such as a park, check what permission you need first. We can send what the landowner or council needs from us.
Wedding planners and venue coordinators are welcome to contact us directly, and we’ll keep you updated on timings and set-up.
Food truck hire or something else?
A marquee kitchen with plated service needs more space, more staff and more time. Our truck or trailer brings the kitchen and serves from one hatch. When you compare quotes, check what each one includes: serving hours, staff, disposables, travel and VAT. Our quote sets out what’s included.

Should I do it myself?
Plenty of people try a DIY taco night at home. The usual problems are cold tortillas, running out of a popular filling and a host stuck at the stove. If you’d rather be with your guests, we will do the serving.
A DIY taco night works well for a small group. For larger numbers, mixed diets or a wedding, a caterer takes the pressure off, and handles allergen information for you.
