Food truck hire in Densole
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. The cost per head can fall as numbers rise, since the set-up is much the same either way. Tell us your numbers for an accurate price.
Why book with us
- Options for gluten-free, dairy-free, vegetarian and vegan guests
- Access, space and power checked in advance

Food truck hire in Densole, served fresh
Guests walk up to the hatch, order and take their food away hot. It’s simple, quick and sociable for guests and hosts. For leaving dos and retirements and parties in venue grounds, we’ll put together a menu of vegan tacos, loaded nachos and fresh salsas and guacamole for your guests.
Somewhere as small as Densole, food truck hire can mean a garden, a field or a barn. Lanes, gates and long drives are fine if we know about them. Soft ground after rain is worth mentioning too. Food and drinks can be booked together or separately, so one caterer can cover more of the day.
How the day works
Guests tend to gather around the truck, so we’ll help you choose a spot with room for a queue. We can serve in the rain, though guests will want somewhere covered to stand or sit. By late September, it’s dark in Densole at around 7:00pm, so evening service from the truck may run past dusk. In late May, daylight lasts until about 8:45pm.
- Send us your date, the address, a headcount and dietary needs.
- You get a hatch menu and a quote for the hire.
- Where the truck or trailer will stand, the route in, and power and water are all agreed in advance.
- Your guests order at the hatch and we serve hot food at the agreed times.
- After service, we close the hatch, pack down and drive away.
Getting ready for the day
- Give us a contact for the day
- Tell us about narrow gates or low branches
- Pick a flat, firm spot for us to park

FAQs for Densole
Could you serve our guests after a service at St Luke's?
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.
Could we book your food truck for a private event in Densole?
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.
Where can the truck park?
Tell us where you’d like the truck, and we will check it works. There is more in our space and power guide.
Do you give allergen information?
Yes. Tell us about allergies when you book. Under UK rules, caterers must give information on 14 allergens, and we give it for every dish (Food Standards Agency guidance). Anyone with a severe allergy should speak to us before the event.
Is the truck suitable for a large group?
It depends on the event and how long service runs. Most bookings fall around 50 to 400 guests.
Do you cater in Densole?
Yes. We cater across London and the South East, including Densole. For a quote, send us your details through our quote form.
Do you offer a bar with the truck?
Our Mexican drinks bar can be added to a truck booking, with margaritas, Mexican beer and aguas frescas. We will go through the licensing with you.
What if the weather’s bad?
Rain does not typically stop service from the truck or trailer. Plan cover for guests, such as a marquee or gazebo, and tell us if heavy rain could make the ground soft.

Space, access and the venue
Everything is served from our food truck or trailer, so where we park matters. These are the things we check:
- A parking suspension, where a street spot is needed
- Seating or standing room near the truck
- The venue’s or landowner’s permission for a food truck
If you’re unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think.
