Common questions in Haslingbourne
Could we book your food truck for a private event in Haslingbourne?

What’s the nearest station to Haslingbourne for guests?
Guests can use Pulborough station, about 3.8 miles east of Haslingbourne.

That is your choice: we can keep it mild and put the hotter salsas on the side. Read more about how spicy Mexican food is.
Where do you cater?
London and South East England: Greater London, Kent, Surrey, East and West Sussex, Hampshire, the Isle of Wight, Berkshire, Buckinghamshire, Milton Keynes and Oxfordshire.
Is there a minimum number of guests?
That depends on the menu and the service time, but our truck and trailer service usually suits around 50 to 400 guests. For anything outside that, ask us.
Do you give allergen information?
We plan allergen-aware menus, including for nut allergies, with allergen information for every dish. We plan carefully and keep options separate, though we can’t promise a dish is allergen-free. If a guest has a severe allergy, please talk to us before the event.
How many guests can the truck serve?
That depends on your timings and the event. Most bookings fall around 50 to 400 guests.
Can you run a bar?
Yes, we do. The drinks bar can be added to food or booked on its own. We will check the licensing for alcohol with you.
What happens on the day
When we arrive, we park the truck or trailer in the agreed spot and set up. Service starts at the time we’ve agreed, so everything runs to your schedule. A hired food truck at a summer event in Haslingbourne can serve in daylight until about 9:20pm at midsummer, while late September brings sunset forward to around 7:05pm. In December it is dark by about 4:00pm, so the queue by the hatch needs lighting.
- Tell us the date, the location, rough numbers and any diets.
- We suggest a menu for the hatch and quote for it.
- Before the day, we agree the spot, the way in, power and water.
- On the day we drive in, set up and serve to order from the hatch.
- After service, we close the hatch, pack down and drive away.
Getting ready for the day
- Name one person we can ask on the day
- Find out what power and water are available
- Arrange somewhere covered for guests to eat
