Food truck hire in Cranleigh, from our truck or trailer
The truck or trailer is a working kitchen on wheels, so there is no need for kitchen space at the venue. What we do need is level ground, a way in and the venue’s agreement. It works well for client hospitality and milestone birthdays, with fresh salsas and guacamole, quesadillas and burrito bowls.
For a place the size of Cranleigh, food truck hire at your own home is often simplest: no venue hire, and guests order at the hatch. Tell us about the lane and the drive. Your quote sets out what’s included: menu, timings and any add-ons.
Dietary needs and planning tips
Most events have a mix of diets. To plan for them:
- Measure gates and look for low branches on the way in
- Check early that your venue allows food trucks
- Send allergy details in writing
- Ask guests with severe allergies to speak to us beforehand
Guests order at the hatch and their food is handed out hot.
Our Mexican drinks bar, with margaritas, Mexican beer and aguas frescas can join the truck, with licensing checked with you.

Should I do it myself?
Plenty of people try a DIY taco night at home. Common snags are cold tortillas, uneven quantities and the host missing the party. If you’d rather enjoy the party, let us serve.
Running your own drinks table is one option, but someone has to serve all evening. See our margarita bar guide.

Food truck hire or something else?
A marquee kitchen with plated service needs more space, more staff and more time. A food truck arrives as a kitchen and serves from the hatch, needing level ground, access and the venue’s permission. Extras, such as more dishes, extra drinks or a longer service, are quoted on request, so you can choose what you need.
