Food truck hire for Laleham events
About our food truck hire in Laleham
When you hire our food truck, it serves your guests and nobody else. It’s a private booking, not public trading, so we plan the menu and service times around you. It works well for back-garden parties and end-of-year parties, serving burrito bowls, fresh salsas and guacamole and vegan tacos.
For a place the size of Laleham, food truck hire at your own home is often simplest: no venue hire, and guests order at the hatch. Tell us about the lane and the drive. We cater for gluten-free, dairy-free, vegetarian and vegan guests, and we give allergen information for every dish.
Questions from Laleham
How far is Laleham from London?
About 18 miles from central London, and well within our area.
We’re having a ceremony at Church of All Saints: can you cater afterwards?
Yes, at a garden, field or venue nearby where the truck or trailer can park. We’d serve at the reception venue rather than at the church itself. Tell us where the reception will be.
How many guests can you serve?
Truck and trailer service typically suits around 50 to 400 guests. Smaller parties are quoted case by case, and festivals can be larger. Tell us your numbers.
Who clears up?
We clear our own area when service is finished. For anything beyond that, such as guests’ tables, ask us.
What about power on site?
Let us know what’s available on site, such as a supply from the venue near where we’ll park, and we’ll confirm the arrangements with your quote.
How is the food prepared?
We slow-cook fillings ahead, then finish them and keep them hot at your event. Tortillas are warmed on site, and salsas and guacamole are made fresh.
Do you give allergen information?
Yes, and it helps to hear about allergies when you book. UK law requires caterers to provide information on 14 allergens, and we do that for every dish (Food Standards Agency guidance). Anyone with a severe allergy should speak to us before the event.
What’s on the menu?
Mexican street food: tacos and build-your-own taco bars, burritos, burrito bowls, nachos and quesadillas, with salsas, guacamole and toppings. A drinks bar is available too.
Who books food truck hire in Laleham?
Guests can come back to the hatch when they’re ready, rather than all at once.
These are some of the occasions we serve:
- Leaving parties
- Wedding receptions
- Garden parties
- Anniversary celebrations
Close to Laleham are historic houses such as Botleys Mansion (3.4 miles south-west). If you are hiring a historic venue, check early whether it allows a catering vehicle on site.

Planning the serving area
Many gardens, fields and venues can take a truck or trailer, but a few things matter:
- Gate widths, overhead branches and soft ground checked in advance
- Distance from houses and windows
- The venue’s or landowner’s permission for a food truck
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and the access, and we will advise before you book.

Step by step
Service is quick and friendly: we serve from the hatch or a serving station, so a crowd is looked after quickly. When service ends, we pack down. By late September, it is dark in Laleham at around 7:05pm, so evening service from the truck may run past dusk. A late-May event keeps its light until roughly 8:55pm.
- Send us your date, the address, a headcount and dietary needs.
- We suggest a menu for the hatch and quote for it.
- Where the truck or trailer will stand, the route in, and power and water are all agreed in advance.
- On the day we drive in, set up and serve to order from the hatch.
- When service ends, we pack up and leave the spot clear.
How to prepare
- Have a marquee or gazebo ready in case of rain
- Let us know the timings for the day
- Ask the venue about power and water
