Fillings might include carnitas, al pastor-style pork or chicken tinga, with vegan choices like black bean and sweet potato.

At weddings and engagement parties, we can serve quesadillas, loaded nachos and burrito bowls.
Somewhere as small as Chaldon, food truck hire can mean a garden, a field or a barn. Lanes, gates and long drives are fine if we know about them. Firm ground matters, especially after rain. Timings are planned around your event, so service starts when you want it.
Space, access and the venue
We’ll agree the spot with you before the day. A good spot ticks these boxes:
- A way in wide and high enough for the vehicle
- A parking suspension, where a street spot is needed
- A clear area for a queue at the hatch
If you’re unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think before you book.

Chaldon: your questions answered
Can you cater a reception after a service at Church of St Peter and St Paul?
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.
What’s the nearest station to Chaldon for guests?
Guests can use Caterham station, about 1.2 miles east of Chaldon.
How soon do we need to book?
The sooner the better. Popular dates go first, so contact us early.
Do you offer a bar with the truck?
We bring bar staff with the drinks bar and alcohol-free choices. Alcohol needs the right licence, which we’ll check with you.
Can you cater for children?
Yes, children are welcome. Let us know numbers and ages, and we will plan the menu with them in mind.
Can we have a build-your-own taco bar?
Yes, a taco bar is one of our options. Tell us about your space and numbers and we’ll suggest the best set-up.
Do you cook on site?
Fillings are slow-cooked in advance, then finished and kept hot on site. Tortillas are warmed on site, and salsas and guacamole are made fresh.
Do you sell to the public at private events?
Private hire means we serve only your guests, with a menu and timings you agree with us. At festivals and markets we trade to the public.
How we price food truck hire
Two events with the same number of guests can cost different amounts, because of:
- Whether you need disposables
- How many staff you need
- The length of service
- Food, drinks or both
Extra dishes, drinks and longer service are priced on request, so you can choose what you need.
What we need to know
You do not need everything decided to ask for a quote, but these help:
- Roughly how many adults and children
- Gate widths, slopes and the ground
- Where the event is
- A photo of the space, if it is a garden or field
Getting a quote is simple: tell us the date, place, numbers and any dietary needs. We’ll send you a clear quote and a suggested menu.
DIY taco night versus a caterer
A DIY taco night works well for a small group. For larger numbers, mixed diets or a wedding, a caterer takes the pressure off, with allergen information for every dish.
If you do it yourself, work out quantities first: our guide to how many tacos per person helps. Keep tortillas warm in a covered basket, and label dishes for guests with allergies.
Dietary needs and planning tips
A Mexican menu is easy to plan for mixed diets, because options can be kept separate. Here are a few tips for planning:
- Count children separately
- Have shelter ready in case of rain
- Ask guests about dietary needs when they reply
- Share your running order
Service starts when your timings say, and we cook each order as it comes.
A taco-bar station can sit next to the truck.
Is food truck hire right for your event?
Hiring a food truck is different from finding one at a festival. At a festival we trade to the public; a private hire means your guests, your menu and your timings. Access and travel can make a difference to the cost, so tell us about the venue when you ask for a quote. The full price is confirmed in your quote.
