Your questions about food truck hire in Hockenden
Do you come out to small places like Hockenden?
Yes. Villages and hamlets are part of our area, and the main thing is access: tell us about the lane, the gate and the ground.
Can you bring your truck or trailer to Foots Cray Meadows?
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 will send what they need from us.
How long do you serve for?
We get there well before service to set up. Serving times are agreed with you in advance, along with pack-down.
What food and drinks do you offer?
Mexican street food and drinks: tacos, taco bars, burritos, bowls, nachos and quesadillas, with salsas, guacamole and toppings. A drinks bar is available too.
How soon do we need to book?
As soon as you have a date. Peak dates go quickly, so contact us early.
Do you need power and water?
Tell us what the site has, for example a supply from the venue, and we will confirm what we need with your quote.
How much is a food truck for an event?
Every event is quoted individually, so the price fits what you want. Tell us your date and numbers and we will reply with a quote.
What does hiring your food truck involve?
You book the truck or trailer for set hours at your event. We cook to order, serve from the hatch and pack down afterwards.
Diets, allergies and planning
Most events have a mix of diets. To plan for them:
- Ask the venue about catering vehicles before booking
- Check parking and loading rules for street locations
- Email us any allergies
- Collect diets and allergies with your RSVPs
We keep allergen information for every dish at the hatch, so guests can ask before ordering.
Ask about a second service later in the evening.

Space, access and the venue
Everything is served from our food truck or trailer, so the spot needs a little planning. Here’s what we look for:
- A parking suspension, where a street spot is needed
- Gate widths, overhead branches and soft ground checked in advance
- A place for guests to eat close to the hatch
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and the access, and we’ll advise before booking.

How it compares
A private hire is not the same as a festival stall. At a festival we trade to the public; a private hire means your guests, your menu and your timings. The cost per head can fall as numbers rise, because the set-up is similar for different sizes of event. Tell us your numbers for an accurate price.
