Food truck hire in Crowhurst
How our food truck hire works in Crowhurst
A hired food truck works for weddings, birthdays and staff days. It works well for birthday parties and garden parties, serving tacos from the hatch, burritos and vegan tacos.
Somewhere as small as Crowhurst, food truck hire can mean a garden, a field or a barn. Tell us about narrow lanes, gates and long drives. Soft ground after rain is worth mentioning too. We’ll check the space, access and power with you before the day, so there are no surprises on arrival.
How it works
We work to your timings. If things run behind, let us know and we will adjust where we can. At midsummer, it stays light in Crowhurst until about 9:20pm, while late September brings sunset forward to around 7:05pm. In December it is dark by about 3:55pm, so the queue by the hatch needs lighting.
- Ask us whether your date is available.
- We agree a hatch menu and send a quote.
- The spot and the way in are agreed in advance.
- We drive in, open the hatch and serve your guests.
- After service, we close up and leave the spot clear.
How to prepare
- Check the venue is happy to have a truck or trailer on site
- Ask the venue about power and water
- Have a marquee or gazebo ready in case of rain

Your questions about food truck hire in Crowhurst
What’s the nearest station to Crowhurst for guests?
Godstone station, about 1.9 miles west of the centre.
How far is Crowhurst from London?
It’s about 20 miles from central London, and inside the area we cover.
Where can the truck park?
A firm, level spot, a way in that fits the vehicle, and the venue’s agreement. We confirm power and water when you book.
Do you provide plates and napkins?
Please ask us. Tell us what your venue provides, and we’ll confirm what’s included with your quote.
Do you cater for vegetarian guests?
Yes, they’re part of the planning from the start. Tell us your numbers when you ask for a quote, and we’ll keep their options separate.
Can you come to a private house?
It depends on access. If the truck or trailer can’t reach the garden, a drive or a spot nearby may work, with permission. Send us a photo and we will talk it through.
Can you plan for allergies?
Yes, and it helps to hear about allergies when you book. UK law requires caterers to provide information on 14 allergens, and we do that for every dish (Food Standards Agency guidance). For severe allergies, please talk to us first.
Can you do gluten-free food?
Yes, gluten-free options are available, using corn tortillas. Let us know about coeliac guests in advance so we can explain how we prepare their food. See are corn tortillas gluten-free?

- Your menu ideas
- What power and water the site has
- Vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free, dairy-free and allergy numbers

Can I do a taco night myself?
