Your questions about food truck hire in Holmethorpe
Which station is closest to Holmethorpe?
Guests can use Redhill station, about 0.8 miles south-west of Holmethorpe.
How far is Holmethorpe from central London?
It’s about 17 miles from central London, and inside the area we cover.
Are plates and napkins included?
We confirm that with your quote. Let us know what the venue supplies and we will talk it through.
Do you provide drinks?
Yes. Our drinks bar can be booked on its own or with food, with alcohol-free options such as aguas frescas. For alcohol, we will talk licensing through with you and your venue.
Can we hire a bar too?
Our Mexican drinks bar can be added to a truck booking, with margaritas, Mexican beer and aguas frescas. Licensing is checked with you.
Can you do dairy-free food?
We can. Dairy-free options are part of our menus, and we’ll tell you which dishes contain milk.
What access do you need?
The main things are access and a level spot: a firm spot for the truck or trailer, room for a queue and, for a taco bar, space for a serving table. If in doubt, send us a photo of the space and the way in.
Do you have gluten-free options?
We can, using corn tortillas. Corn tortillas are naturally gluten-free, but some fillings, sauces and toppings may not be, so we check every dish and give allergen information.

If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and the access, and we will advise before booking.

Comparing your options
Most guests have seen a burger van. Tacos and burritos from a truck feel different while staying easy to eat. Pricing depends on the event. A short lunch service for a team is a different job from a full wedding day. Contact us for a quote.
