Food truck hire or something else?
Most guests have seen a burger van. A Mexican food truck offers something less expected. Catering from a truck or trailer can be a practical alternative to a sit-down meal, as there is no kitchen to hire. Contact us for a quote to compare.

FAQs for Claygate
Do you cater in the High Weald 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.
Can you cater a reception after a service at Church of St Margaret?
Yes. The church itself isn’t where we’d set up, but a hall, field or garden close by with room for the truck or trailer can work well. Let us know the reception address and we’ll check the access.
When do you arrive?
That depends on your event and menu. Timings are agreed in advance so everything fits your schedule.
Do you do a taco bar?
Yes. A build-your-own taco bar can be served from the truck or a serving station, with fillings, salsas, guacamole and toppings.
How far ahead should we book?
As soon as you have a date. Popular dates go first, so it pays to ask early.
Is there a minimum number of guests?
That depends on the menu and the service time, but our truck and trailer service usually suits around 50 to 400 guests. For anything outside that, ask us.
Do you cater for vegetarian guests?
Yes, and we plan them in from the start. Let us know how many vegetarian and vegan guests to expect.
What do you need at the venue?
Tell us where you’d like the truck, and we will check it works. Our guide to space and power has more.
DIY taco night or a caterer?
Some hosts like to do it themselves. Common snags are cold tortillas, uneven quantities and the host missing the party. If you’d rather be with your guests, we’ll do the serving.
Doing it yourself? Start with the quantities: 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
Mixed diets are straightforward to plan for, because guests can choose what suits them. Here are a few tips for planning:
- Have shelter ready in case of rain
- Agree service times with us
- Put anyone with a severe allergy in touch with us
- Count children separately
If your timings move, let us know and we’ll adjust service.
