Food truck hire in Chessington, from our truck or trailer
We serve when you want us to: a lunchtime window, an evening service or a longer slot through a party. Tell us when guests should eat and we will plan around it. At anniversary celebrations and client hospitality, we will put together a menu of quesadillas, burritos and tacos from the hatch.
In Chessington, a yard, forecourt or car park can suit a hired food truck. We need a level spot and room for a queue at the hatch. Your quote sets out what’s included: menu, timings and any add-ons.

Hoping to hire a food truck for a gathering in Horton Country Park? A catering vehicle in a public park usually needs the landowner’s permission. By road, Chessington is on or near the A243, which makes it easy for us to reach with the truck or trailer.

Some venues in protected landscapes have rules on vehicles, so check with yours.
Here we cover the KT9, KT19 and KT6 postcode area, and we can cater your event anywhere in it with access for the truck or trailer.

Every quote is put together for your event. Give us your date and numbers, and we’ll confirm whether we’re available that day.
DIY taco night versus a caterer
You can set up your own drinks table, but someone still has to mix, pour and keep an eye on it all evening. See our margarita bar guide.
A DIY taco night is possible for a crowd, but it is more work than it looks. Fillings need slow cooking, tortillas need warming as you go, and salsas need making. Our taco bar guide explains how.
Chessington questions
Can you bring a truck or trailer to venues in the Surrey Hills National Landscape?
Yes, though some venues in protected landscapes have extra rules; ask your venue. We will follow the site rules.
Which station should guests use for Chessington?
Chessington North station, in Chessington itself.
What do you need at the venue?
Tell us where you’d like the truck, and we’ll check it works. There’s more in our space and power guide.
Do you give allergen information?
Our menus are planned with allergies in mind, nut allergies included, and give allergen information for every dish. We keep options separate, but we can’t promise anything is completely allergen-free. If a guest has a severe allergy, please talk to us before the event.
Do you offer a bar with the truck?
Our Mexican drinks bar can be added to a truck booking, with margaritas, Mexican beer and aguas frescas. We will talk licensing through with you.
How is the food prepared?
We cook to order in our food truck or trailer kitchen, or serve from a taco bar. Fillings are slow-cooked beforehand and finished on site.
How soon do we need to book?
As early as you can, especially for summer weekends. Ask about your date even if it is soon.
Can you keep it mild?
It’s up to you: we can keep it mild and put the hotter salsas on the side.
