Food truck hire for Claygate events
Food truck hire for your event in Claygate
We cook inside our truck or trailer, so there is no need for kitchen space at the venue. We need a level spot, safe access and the venue’s permission. For family reunions and birthday parties, we will put together a menu of loaded nachos, quesadillas and burritos for your guests.
In a smaller place like Claygate, hiring our food truck for a party at home is often the easiest option: no venue hire, and guests order at the hatch. Tell us about the lane and the drive. We prepare everything fresh for your event and serve it straight from our food truck or trailer.
Claygate questions
How far is Claygate from central London?
About 14 miles from central London, and well within our area.
Do you come to events in the Surrey Hills National Landscape?
Yes. Some venues there have rules about vehicles, ground and catering, so check with yours. We will follow the site rules.
Who clears up?
Our area is packed away and left tidy. Tell us the venue’s rules on waste and clearing up and we’ll talk it through.
Do you sell to the public at private events?
A private hire is booked and quoted for you, and we do not sell to the public. Event organisers should see street food for festivals.
Do you do margaritas?
Yes, we offer a Mexican drinks bar, serving margaritas, Mexican beer, aguas frescas such as hibiscus and horchata, and soft drinks. Your venue or event may need the right licence for alcohol, so we will check the licensing with you.
Do you need power and water?
Tell us what the site has, such as a supply from the venue near where we’ll park, and we will confirm the arrangements with your quote.
Can we hire a bar too?
We bring bar staff with the drinks bar and alcohol-free choices. Alcohol needs the right licence, which we will check with you.
Are plates and napkins included?
That’s confirmed with each quote. Tell us whether your venue has crockery or you’d prefer disposables and we will talk it through.
For planners, venues and organisers
Planners and coordinators can contact us directly, and we will keep everyone informed on the day.
If you’re booking for a business, tell us what your finance team needs, and we will explain how it works. We can work with your facilities team on access and timings.
How the day works
Service is quick and friendly: we serve from the hatch or a serving station, so a crowd is looked after quickly. Afterwards we clear our area. Late-September events in Claygate see sunset at about 7:05pm, so a later service will need some lighting. A late-May event keeps its light until roughly 8:55pm.
- Check our availability for your date.
- You get a menu for the hatch and a quote.
- The spot and the way in are agreed in advance.
- We drive in, open the hatch and serve your guests.
- We pack down and drive away when service ends.
Before we arrive
- Check the venue is happy to have a truck or trailer on site
- Measure any gates or arches on the way in
- Have a marquee or gazebo ready in case of rain

Can I do a taco night myself?
Some hosts like to do it themselves. Common snags are cold tortillas, uneven quantities and the host missing the party. If you’d rather enjoy the party, let us serve.
You can host your own taco night for a crowd, but it takes planning. There are fillings to slow-cook, tortillas to keep warm and salsas to make. Our taco bar guide explains how.
- Served from our truck or trailer at your venue, garden or event
- Vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and dairy-free options, with allergen information
- Tacos and taco bars, burritos, bowls, nachos and quesadillas
- Mexican drinks bar: margaritas, Mexican beer and aguas frescas
