Common questions in Congelow
Could we book your food truck for a private event in Congelow?
Yes, depending on the date. For a private or work event in a village or hamlet, the main thing is access: tell us about the lane, the gate and the ground.
How far is Congelow from central London?
It’s about 30 miles from central London, and inside the area we cover.
Do you do parties at home?
It depends on access. A drive or a spot nearby may work, with permission, if the garden itself is out of reach. Tell us about the space and we’ll advise.
How is private hire different from festival trading?
When you hire us, the booking is yours, and we do not sell to the public. Organisers wanting us to trade at their event can see our festival page.
How big an event can you cater?
Our truck and trailer service generally suits events of around 50 to 400 guests. Festivals can be bigger, and smaller parties are quoted case by case. Send us your numbers and we will advise.
Can we hire a bar too?
The drinks bar comes with bar staff and alcohol-free choices. We’ll talk through licensing first.
Do you have options for kids?
Yes, children are easy to plan for. Tell us how many and roughly how old, and we’ll plan the menu with them in mind.

Yes. We cover London and the South East, including Congelow and the rest of Kent. For a quote, fill in our quote form.
Popular choices

A taco is ideal food from a truck.
Quesadillas
A quesadilla suits cautious eaters.
Should I do it myself?
If you do it yourself, work out quantities first: our guide to how many tacos per person helps. Keep tortillas warm in a covered basket, and label dishes for guests with allergies.
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.
