Food truck hire in Guildford, from our food truck or trailer
We cook inside our food truck or trailer, so there is no need for kitchen space at the venue. We need a level spot, safe access and the venue’s permission. We serve burritos, vegan tacos and quesadillas, and it suits christenings and family parties and staff appreciation days.
In a large place like Guildford, venue car parks, courtyards and gardens can all host a hired food truck. We need level, firm ground and a way in, and guests order at the hatch. Everything is prepared fresh for your event and served from our truck or trailer.
Food truck hire or something else?
Hiring a food truck is different from finding one at a festival. At a festival we trade to the public; when you hire us, we serve only your guests, on your timings. Your choice of food and drinks affects the price, so share your ideas with us. We will suggest options to suit your budget.
Why us?
- Events in Guildford and across Surrey
- A truck or trailer that comes to you
- Fast service, even with a queue
- A plan agreed before the day

Step by step
From set-up to service, we look after everything you’ve booked from us, so you can spend time with your guests. By late September, it’s dark in Guildford at around 7:05pm, so a later service will need some lighting. In late May, daylight lasts until about 8:55pm.

- We drive in, open the hatch and serve your guests.

Catering for every guest
Mixed diets are straightforward to plan for, because options can be kept separate. A few tips:
- Ask the venue about catering vehicles before booking
- Flag any coeliac guests
- Walk the access route and note narrow gaps
- Collect diets and allergies with your RSVPs
The hatch opens at the time you choose.
Margaritas, Mexican beer and aguas frescas from our drinks bar can join the truck, with licensing checked with you.
Should I do it myself?
You can set up your own drinks table, but someone still has to mix, pour and keep an eye on it all evening. Our margarita bar guide has tips.
If you do it yourself, work out quantities first: see how many tacos per person. Keep warmed tortillas covered, and label anything containing allergens.
