About our food truck hire in Cudham
Our drinks bar can be hired with the truck with margaritas, Mexican beer and aguas frescas, with licensing checked with you. A build-your-own taco bar can sit beside the truck too. It suits back-garden parties and private outdoor parties, serving burritos, quesadillas and tacos from the hatch.
In a hamlet or village like Cudham, 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. We plan the timings around your day, whether that is speeches, a lunch break or a festival schedule.
Prices and what affects them
Here’s what makes the biggest difference to the price:
- What the venue already provides
- Guest numbers
- The length of service
- Food, drinks or both
Your choice of food and drinks affects the price, so share your ideas with us. Tell us your budget and we will suggest a menu.

FAQs for Cudham
Will you travel to a small place like Cudham?
Yes. Villages and hamlets are part of our area, and the main thing is access: tell us about the lane, the gate and the ground.
Can you cater a reception after a service at Church of St Peter and St Paul?
Yes. The church itself is not 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 will check the access.
Is there a minimum number of guests?
Truck and trailer service generally suits around 50 to 400 guests. Smaller parties are quoted case by case, and festivals can be larger. Tell us your numbers.
How far ahead should we book?
As early as you can, especially for summer weekends. Ask about your date even if it is soon.
Do you have dairy-free options?
Yes, on request. Tell us how many guests need dairy-free food, and we will plan the menu around them.
Where do you cater?
London and the South East: Greater London, Kent and Medway, Surrey, East Sussex, West Sussex, Hampshire, the Isle of Wight, Berkshire, Buckinghamshire and Oxfordshire, including Cudham.
Do you cater for coeliacs?
Yes, with 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 does food truck hire cost in Cudham?
It depends on guest numbers, the menu, the length of service and the location. Contact us for a quote.
DIY taco night versus a caterer
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. Our taco bar guide explains how.
DIY catering keeps costs down, but the host spends the party serving. With a caterer, you get the food and drinks without the work.
