Food truck hire in Cranbrook Common, from our food truck or trailer
The truck or trailer is a working kitchen on wheels, so there’s no need for kitchen space at the venue. We need a level spot, safe access and the venue’s permission. On the menu are vegan tacos, burrito bowls and burritos, which works well for christenings and family parties and retirement parties.
For a rural spot like Cranbrook Common, food truck hire needs a little planning: gate widths, soft ground and the route from the road all matter. We confirm power and water arrangements with you. Food and drinks can be booked together or separately, so the food and drinks can come from one caterer.
What’s on the menu
Burritos
Burritos suit hungry guests and travel well from the hatch.
Quesadillas
Toasted tortillas with melted cheese and a filling, cut into wedges.
For planners, venues and organisers
If you are booking for a business, tell us what your finance team needs, and we will explain how it works. We’re happy to liaise with facilities on access and timings.
Events in public spaces, like parks, normally need permission. We’ll provide the information the landowner or council asks for from us.
The process
On the day, we position the truck or trailer and get the serving area ready. We are ready to serve at the agreed time, planned around your event. By late September, it is dark in Cranbrook Common at around 7:00pm, so evening service from the truck may run past dusk. A late-May event keeps its light until roughly 8:50pm.
- Ask us whether your date is available.
- We agree a hatch menu and send a quote.
- We confirm the parking spot and the route in.
- On the day, guests order at the hatch and we cook to order.
- After service, we close up and leave the spot clear.
Getting ready for the day
- Have a marquee or gazebo ready in case of rain
- Find out what power and water are available
- Pick a flat, firm spot for us to park

Should I do it myself?
For a small group, a taco night at home can work well. For larger numbers, mixed diets or a wedding, a caterer takes the pressure off, and handles allergen information for you.
Plenty of people try a DIY taco night at home. The usual problems are cold tortillas, running out of a popular filling and a host stuck at the stove. If you’d rather enjoy the party, let us serve.
