Food truck hire in Dorking, served fresh
Truck and trailer service typically suits around 50 to 400 guests. Smaller parties are quoted case by case. Popular choices include burrito bowls, quesadillas and tacos from the hatch, which works well for leaving dos and retirements and family reunions.
In a town like Dorking, a hired food truck can park on a drive, in a club or hall car park, or at a hired venue. All can work, given a way in and level ground. Food and drinks can be booked together or separately, so the food and drinks can come from one caterer.
Occasions we cater for in Dorking
Mixed diets are easy to plan, with gluten-free, dairy-free, vegetarian and vegan options from the same hatch.
A truck or trailer suits almost any gathering. In Dorking, you could book us for events such as:

Before booking anyone
- The caterer’s food hygiene rating
- When payment is due
- The venue requirements
- Travel and parking costs
Dietary needs and planning tips
A little planning makes sure everyone can eat. Try these:
- Have shelter ready in case of rain
- Tell us about coeliac guests
- Agree service times with us
- Confirm the venue accepts outside caterers and vehicles
We can serve through rain, though a marquee or gazebo helps guests stay dry.
Nachos for sharing at the start are a good way to begin.
Questions from Dorking
Could you serve in Deepdene Terrace?
It depends on the park’s owner, who would need to agree to a catering vehicle on site. Ask them first; if they say yes, we’ll send what they need from us.
How far is Dorking from London?
About 21 miles from central London.
Can guests build their own tacos?
We can. We can set up a build-your-own taco bar, served from the truck or a serving table, with fillings, salsas and toppings to choose from. Read our taco bar guide.
What about vegan and gluten-free guests?
We plan vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and dairy-free options, and corn tortillas suit gluten-free guests. Allergen information is available for every dish.
Can you cater in a back garden?
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.
Do you do food truck hire for weddings?
We can serve from the truck for the wedding meal, the evening or both. Timings are agreed with you and your venue. See our food truck wedding guide.
How spicy is the food?
That is your choice: we can keep the main dishes mild, with hotter salsas served separately. Read more about how spicy Mexican food is.
Do you give allergen information?
Yes, and it helps to hear 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). For severe allergies, please talk to us first.
