About our food truck hire in Binsted
When you hire our food truck, it serves your guests and nobody else. It’s a private booking, not public trading, so the menu and timings are set around your event. At parties in venue grounds and birthday parties, we will put together a menu of burritos, fresh salsas and guacamole and burrito bowls and more.
For a rural spot like Binsted, food truck hire needs a little planning: gate widths, soft ground and the route from the road all matter. Power and water may be limited, so we confirm the arrangements before the day. You can book food, drinks or both, so one caterer can cover more of the day.
Common questions in Binsted
Do you cater 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.
We are having a ceremony at Church of the Holy Cross: can you cater afterwards?
Yes, at a garden, field or venue nearby where the truck or trailer can park. We’d serve at the reception venue rather than at the church itself. Send us the reception address.
Do you give allergen information?
Our menus are planned with allergies in mind, nut allergies included, and give allergen information for every dish. We plan carefully and keep options separate, though we cannot promise a dish is allergen-free. If a guest has a severe allergy, please talk to us before the event.
How much is food truck hire?
Each hire is quoted individually, based on guest numbers, the menu, the location and service times. For a price, tell us about it on our contact page.
Is the food very hot?
The food can be kept mild, with hotter salsas on the side for anyone who wants more heat.
What happens if it rains?
The truck or trailer can serve in the rain, but guests need somewhere covered to eat and drink, like a marquee or gazebo.
Can you do gluten-free food?
Yes, we offer gluten-free options, using corn tortillas. Tell us about any coeliac guests before the event so we can explain how we prepare their food. See are corn tortillas gluten-free?
Do you sell to the public at private events?
A private hire is booked and quoted for you, so we do not serve passers-by. Event organisers should see street food for festivals.

What else we do in Binsted
How we price food truck hire
Pricing is straightforward once we know the basics:
- Your choice of food and drinks
- Guest numbers
- Whether you need disposables
- Food, drinks or both
Access, parking and the distance to your venue can affect the price, so tell us about the venue when you ask for a quote. The full price is confirmed in your quote.
What we need to know
When you get in touch, it helps to tell us:
- Approximate guest numbers, including children
- A picture of where we’d park
- The address or venue name
- The date and rough timings
Every quote is put together for your event. Tell us your date and guest numbers, and we will confirm whether we’re available that day.
What we need at the venue
Many gardens, fields and venues can take a truck or trailer, but a few things matter:
- The landowner’s go-ahead for the truck or trailer
- A parking suspension, where a street spot is needed
- Power and water details confirmed in advance
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and the access, and we will advise.
Catering for every guest
Allergies and diets are taken seriously. Help us by following these steps:
- Ask about parking rules if we will be on a road
- Put anyone with a severe allergy in touch with us
- Check gate widths and any height limits
- Agree service times with us
When service ends, we pack away, leaving our spot tidy.
Margaritas, Mexican beer and aguas frescas from our drinks bar can join the truck, with licensing checked with you.
For planners, venues and organisers
Planning an event for a club, school or charity in Binsted? Service from a truck or trailer is quick, even for a crowd, and the menu can suit most diets. Give us the details and we’ll suggest a plan.
Throwing a party at home? Send us a photo of the space and tell us about the drive and gates, and we will let you know if it’s a good fit.
DIY taco night or a caterer?
A DIY taco night works well for a small group. For big numbers or lots of diets, a caterer makes life easier, and handles allergen information for you.
You can host your own taco night for a crowd, but it takes planning. There are fillings to slow-cook, tortillas to keep warm and salsas to make. Our taco bar guide explains how.
