About our food truck hire in East Shalford
Guests walk up to the hatch, order and take their food away hot. It keeps things easy and relaxed for guests and hosts. Popular choices include loaded nachos, fresh salsas and guacamole and vegan tacos, and it is a good fit for private outdoor parties and staff appreciation days.
In a hamlet or village like East Shalford, 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, so service starts when you want it.
East Shalford questions
Do you come to events in the Surrey Hills National Landscape?
We do, where the venue allows a catering vehicle. Lanes can be narrow and ground soft, so tell us how we’d get in.
How far is East Shalford from London?
About 28 miles from central London, and we cover it.
Do you come to East Shalford?
Yes, we do. We serve at events in East Shalford and across Surrey. Tell us your date and we’ll check availability.
Do you cook on site?
We slow-cook fillings ahead, then finish them and keep them hot at your event. Tortillas are warmed on site, and salsas and guacamole are made fresh.
Can we hire the truck for our wedding?
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.
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 do that for every dish (Food Standards Agency guidance). Anyone with a severe allergy should speak to us before the event.
Do you have options for kids?
Yes, children are welcome. Tell us how many and roughly how old, and we’ll suggest mild options.
What happens if it rains?
We can serve from the hatch in the rain. It’s worth planning a covered area for guests, and tell us if heavy rain could make the ground soft.

Dietary needs and planning tips
Good planning keeps every guest safe and happy. Here’s how:
- Tell us when guests should eat
- Tell us about coeliac guests
- Give us separate numbers for children
- Walk the access route and note narrow gaps
We can serve through rain, though a marquee or gazebo helps guests stay dry.
Margaritas, Mexican beer and aguas frescas from our drinks bar can be added to the booking, with licensing checked with you.
Organising for someone else?
Venues often have their own rules about outside caterers: where vehicles can park, access times and the paperwork they need. Tell us what your venue needs and we’ll work to it.
If you’re planning an event on someone’s behalf, such as a wedding planner, an office manager or a festival organiser, we are happy to deal with you and the venue directly. It keeps things simple.
Should I do it myself?
Doing it yourself? Start with the quantities: our guide to how many tacos per person helps. Keep tortillas warm in a covered basket, and label anything containing allergens.
DIY catering keeps costs down, but the host spends the party serving. Booking a caterer means you can relax with everyone else.
