Food truck hire near Lingfield Common
Should I do it myself?
For a small group, a taco night at home can work well. For larger numbers, mixed diets or a wedding, a caterer takes the pressure off, with allergen information for every dish.
Some hosts like to do it themselves. The usual problems are cold tortillas, running out of a popular filling and a host stuck at the stove. If you’d rather be with your guests, we will do the serving.
Food truck hire in Lingfield Common, from our food truck or trailer
Our drinks bar can be hired with the truck for margaritas, Mexican beer and aguas frescas, with licensing checked with you. A build-your-own taco bar can sit beside the truck too. It works well for milestone birthdays and anniversary celebrations, with burritos, loaded nachos and quesadillas.
Near Lingfield Common, a hired food truck in a field or garden suits private parties and work away days alike. Guests order at the hatch, so plan a sheltered spot for the queue in case of rain. We arrive ready to serve, and clear our own area when service is finished.

Comparing your options
Hiring a food truck is different from finding one at a festival. At a festival we trade to the public; when you hire us, we serve only your guests, on your timings. Pricing depends on the event. A short lunch service for a team is a different job from a full wedding day. Your quote sets it all out.
What you get with us
- Allergen information for everything we serve
- Menus chosen with you

What we need at the venue
Access is the first thing to check for a truck or trailer. We need:
- The landowner’s go-ahead for the truck or trailer
- A clear area for a queue at the hatch
- Some space between the truck and nearby homes
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and the access, and we’ll advise before you book.
Questions from Lingfield Common
What’s the nearest station to Lingfield Common for guests?
The closest is Lingfield station, roughly 0.8 miles away.
Could we book your food truck for a private event in Lingfield Common?
Yes, as long as we’re available on the date and can get the truck or trailer in. Let us know about access and where we’d park.
Do you have dairy-free options?
Yes, we can. Let us know your dairy-free numbers, and we’ll include them in the plan.
Do you need electricity?
That depends on the set-up, so we confirm power and water arrangements with each booking. Let us know whether there is a supply near where we will park.
Is the truck suitable for a large group?
It depends on the event and how long service runs. As a guide, it is around 50 to 400 guests.
What about vegan and gluten-free guests?
We plan for diets before the day, but we can’t promise an allergen-free kitchen. Anyone with a severe allergy should contact us before the event.
Can you plan for allergies?
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.
