About our food truck hire in Claygate Cross
Guests walk up to the hatch, order and take their food away hot. It keeps things easy and relaxed. We serve loaded nachos, quesadillas and vegan tacos, and it suits milestone birthdays and wedding evening food.
In a rural place like Claygate Cross, access is the main thing to plan for a hired truck: gate widths, soft ground and the route from the road all matter. We confirm power and water arrangements with you. Your quote sets out what’s included: menu, timings and any add-ons.
Step by step
We take care of everything you’ve booked, from set-up to service, so you can spend time with your guests. Late-September events in Claygate Cross see sunset at about 7:00pm, so evening service from the truck may run past dusk. A late-May event keeps its light until roughly 8:50pm.
- Tell us the date, the location, rough numbers and any diets.
- You get a hatch menu and a quote for the hire.
- We confirm the parking spot, access, power and water with you or the venue.
- On the day we drive in, set up and serve to order from the hatch.
- After service, we close the hatch, pack down and drive away.

Questions from Claygate Cross
Which station should guests use for Claygate Cross?
Guests can use Borough Green & Wrotham station, about 1.2 miles north of Claygate Cross.
Can we hire your food truck for a private party in Claygate Cross?
Yes, as long as we are available on the date and can get the truck or trailer in. Let us know about access and where we’d park.
Do you take everything away?
We pack down and tidy our own area after service. Ask us if you’d like help with anything else.
How does private food truck hire work?
Our truck or trailer comes to your venue and serves your guests from the hatch. It is a private booking for your guests only.
What do you need at the venue?
Access and level ground matter most: a level spot to park, space for guests to queue and a little room for a serving table. Send us a picture and tell us about gates, slopes and soft ground.
Can you cater for guests who avoid dairy?
Yes, we can. Let us know your dairy-free numbers, and we will include them in the plan.
How is the food prepared?
We cook to order in our food truck or trailer kitchen, or serve from a taco bar. Slow-cooked fillings are prepared in advance and kept hot on site.
What areas do you cover?
We cover London and the South East, Kent included. See all areas.
Catering for every guest
Mixed diets are straightforward to plan for, because options can be kept separate. Here are a few tips for planning:
- Tell us about coeliac guests
- Think about cover if the weather turns
- Ask guests with severe allergies to speak to us beforehand
- Ask guests about dietary needs when they reply
We drive in at the agreed time and park in the planned spot. Someone on site to meet us makes it smoother.
Nachos for sharing at the start.
Planning the serving area
Before the day, we will agree where we park and serve. A good spot ticks these boxes:
- Level, solid ground for the vehicle
- The landowner’s go-ahead for the truck or trailer
- Space in front of the hatch for guests to queue
Not sure about your space? Send us a picture and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.

Hiring a food truck in Claygate Cross

Our truck and trailer cover the area from Claygate Cross to Maidstone (9 miles away).
Historic houses near Claygate Cross include Old Soar Manor (0.9 miles south-east) and Ightham Mote (2.2 miles south-west).

Some venues in protected landscapes have rules on vehicles, so check with yours.
