Food truck hire in Chipstead
How it compares
A private hire is not the same as a festival stall. At public events, anyone can buy; when you hire us, we serve only your guests, on your timings. The price depends on guest numbers, the menu and how long you’d like us to serve, along with extras and where your event is. We quote for each event individually.
What you get with us
- Food and drinks from one caterer, if you want both
- Quick, friendly service from the hatch
- Events in Chipstead and across Kent
- Set-up planned with you and your venue

How our food truck hire works in Chipstead
Our truck or trailer is available to hire for events across Chipstead and nearby. We serve quesadillas, burritos and fresh salsas and guacamole, which works well for retirement parties and big birthdays.
For a rural spot like Chipstead, food truck hire needs a little planning: the gate, the ground and the distance from the lane. We confirm power and water arrangements with you. Access, space and power are agreed with you beforehand, so there are no surprises on arrival.
What happens on the day
We need a level, firm spot we can drive the truck or trailer onto, and we agree power and water arrangements before the day. A picture of the space helps. Late-September events in Chipstead see sunset at about 7:05pm, so a later service will need some lighting. A late-May event keeps its light until roughly 8:50pm.
- First come the basics: date, location, numbers and diets.
- We suggest a menu for the hatch and quote for it.
- Where the truck or trailer will stand, the route in, and power and water are all agreed in advance.
- We arrive, open the hatch and cook to order for your guests.
- After service, we close the hatch, pack down and drive away.
Before we arrive
- Check the venue is happy to have a truck or trailer on site
- Give us your final numbers and diets
- Plan a covered area for guests if rain is likely
