Food truck hire in Kilnwood Vale
Food truck hire in Kilnwood Vale, from our truck or trailer
When you hire our food truck, it serves your guests and nobody else. It is a private booking, not public trading, so the menu and timings are set around your event. We serve vegan tacos, quesadillas and burrito bowls, and it’s a good fit for engagements and anniversaries and christenings and family parties.
Somewhere as small as Kilnwood Vale, food truck hire can mean a garden, a field or a barn. Tell us about narrow lanes, gates and long drives. Soft ground after rain is worth mentioning too. Guests are served from our truck or trailer, or from a serving table nearby, and we plan the service around your numbers.

How the day works
Guests tend to gather around the truck, so we plan a spot with space for people to queue. We can serve in the rain, but guests will need somewhere covered. December events in Kilnwood Vale lose the light at about 3:55pm, so ask the venue about outdoor lighting where we will park. In late June, it stays light until about 9:20pm.

FAQs for Kilnwood Vale
Which station should guests use for Kilnwood Vale?
The closest is Faygate station, roughly 0.9 miles away.
Can you bring a truck or trailer to venues in the Surrey Hills National Landscape?
Yes. Some venues there have rules about vehicles, ground and catering, so check with yours. We’ll follow the site rules.
Do you cook on site?
Fillings are slow-cooked in advance, then finished and kept hot on site. The tortillas are warmed on site, and the salsas and guacamole are made fresh.
How long are you on site?
We arrive in good time to set up before service. Serving times are agreed with you in advance.
Do you give allergen information?
We plan allergen-aware menus, including for nut allergies, and give 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.
Can we add drinks?
The drinks bar comes with bar staff and alcohol-free choices. Alcohol needs the right licence, which we’ll check with you.
Can you keep it mild?
The food can be kept mild, and hotter salsas go on the side for guests who like heat.
Do you need power and water?
It depends on the event and the set-up, so we confirm power and water arrangements with each booking. Tell us what’s available at your venue.
