How our food truck hire works in Cripp's Corner
Food truck hire means our food truck or trailer is booked for your guests only. It’s a private booking, not public trading, so the menu and timings are set around your event. We serve quesadillas, vegan tacos and fresh salsas and guacamole, and it’s a good fit for client events and product launches and wedding evening food.
In a hamlet or village like Cripp's Corner, our food truck or trailer can serve a private party or a team day in a field or garden. Guests order at the hatch, so plan a sheltered spot for the queue in case of rain. You’ll know what’s included before booking: the menu, the service time and any extras you choose.

The cost per head can fall as numbers rise, because the set-up is similar for different sizes of event. Give us your numbers and we’ll quote.

Step by step
A typical event goes like this: we park up and get ready, we open the hatch when you are ready, and your guests are served fresh until service ends. By late September, it is dark in Cripp's Corner at around 7:00pm, so a later service will need some lighting. A late-May event keeps its light until roughly 8:45pm.
- Send us your date, the address, a headcount and dietary needs.
- We suggest a menu for the hatch and quote for it.
- Where the truck or trailer will stand, the route in, and power and water are all agreed in advance.
- We arrive, open the hatch and cook to order for your guests.
- Once guests are fed, we clear our area and head off.
Before we arrive
- Choose a level, firm spot for the truck or trailer
- Send us final numbers and dietary needs in good time
- Have a marquee or gazebo ready in case of rain

Cripp's Corner: your questions answered
Could you serve our guests after a service at St Marks Staplecross?
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.
Can we hire your food truck for a private party in Cripp's Corner?
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.
Do you do food truck hire for weddings?
We can serve from the truck for the wedding meal, the evening or both. We fit service around your running order. Read more in having a food truck at a wedding.
Can you cater in a back garden?
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 will advise.
Do you do margaritas?
Yes, we offer a Mexican drinks bar, with margaritas, Mexican beer, aguas frescas and soft drinks. Alcohol at an event may need a licence, such as a premises licence or a Temporary Event Notice, so we will check the licensing with you.
Do you cater for vegetarian guests?
Yes, and we plan them in from the start. Tell us your numbers when you ask for a quote.
Can you do gluten-free food?
We can, using corn tortillas. Corn is naturally gluten-free, though some sauces and toppings can contain gluten, so we check every dish and give allergen information.
How much space do you need?
Level, firm ground or hardstanding for the truck or trailer, and a route in it can fit through, and the venue’s agreement. Power and water arrangements are confirmed with each booking.

Should I do it myself?
DIY catering keeps costs down, but the host spends the party serving. With a caterer, you get the food and drinks without the work.
A DIY taco night is possible for a crowd, but it is more work than it looks. Fillings need slow cooking, tortillas need warming as you go, and salsas need making. Read our guide to taco bars.
