Near Elmbridge Village, a hired food truck in a field or garden suits private parties and work away days alike. Guests order at the hatch, so plan a sheltered spot for the queue in case of rain. You can book food, drinks or both, so the food and drinks can come from one caterer.
Common questions in Elmbridge Village
Could we book your food truck for a private event in Elmbridge Village?
Yes, as long as we’re available on the date and can get the truck or trailer in. Let us know about access and where we’d park.
Will you travel to a small place like Elmbridge Village?
Yes, small places are no problem, given access. Tell us about lanes, gates, ground and parking.
How much does food truck hire cost?
We quote for every hire, based on guest numbers, the menu, the location and service times. For a price, send a quick message through our quote form.
How many guests can you serve?
That depends on the menu and the service time, but around 50 to 400 guests is the usual range. Tell us your numbers and we’ll advise.
How much space do you need?
Level, firm ground or hardstanding for the truck or trailer, and a route in it can fit through, and the venue’s agreement. Power and water arrangements are confirmed with each booking.
Can you keep it mild?
It’s up to you: we can keep it mild and put the hotter salsas on the side.
Can you do dairy-free food?
Yes, on request. Let us know your dairy-free numbers, and we’ll plan the menu around them.
What does hiring your food truck involve?
You hire the truck or trailer for agreed service times. We cook to order, serve from the hatch and pack down afterwards.
Comparing your options
A hog roast suits meat eaters well, but tacos and bowls make vegan, gluten-free and dairy-free guests easier to feed. What’s on the menu makes a difference to the total, so tell us what you have in mind. Tell us your budget and we’ll suggest a menu.
Why us?
- A menu built around your guests
- We cover Elmbridge Village and the whole of Surrey

Organising for someone else?
Booking for a company? Tell us what your finance team needs, and we will talk you through the process. We can work with your facilities team on access and timings.
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.
Should I do it myself?
Some hosts like to do it themselves. The usual problems are cold tortillas, running out of a popular filling and a host stuck at the stove. If you’d rather enjoy the party, let us serve.
Doing it yourself? Start with the quantities: our guide to how many tacos per person helps. Keep warmed tortillas covered, and label dishes for guests with allergies.
Space, access and the venue
Before the day, we will agree where we park and serve. A good spot ticks these boxes:
- The venue’s or landowner’s permission for a food truck
- Firm, level ground or hardstanding where the truck or trailer can park
- A clear area for a queue at the hatch
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and the access, and we’ll advise.
Popular choices
- Mexican drinks bar
- Loaded nachos
- Tacos
- Burritos
- Quesadillas
- Burrito bowls
What’s on the menu
Burrito bowls
A bowl is a good choice for guests avoiding tortillas, and they’re easy to adapt.
Burritos
A burrito is a full meal in the hand and travel well from the hatch.
