Food truck hire in Lower Bourne, from our food truck or trailer
Our drinks bar can be hired with the truck with margaritas, Mexican beer and aguas frescas, with licensing checked with you. We can add a taco-bar station next to the truck. It works well for family celebrations and retirement parties, with tacos from the hatch, quesadillas and fresh salsas and guacamole.
In a smaller place like Lower Bourne, hiring our food truck for a party at home is often the easiest option: no venue hire, and guests order at the hatch. Let us know about the route to the house. Timings are planned around your event, so service starts when you want it.
Hiring a food truck in Lower Bourne
Lower Bourne is about 1 mile south of Farnham, in Surrey. From the centre of Lower Bourne to the outskirts, food truck hire works the same way: fresh service from our truck or trailer, every diet planned for and a clear quote. Lower Bourne is one of 395 towns and villages in Surrey we cover. We cater right across the region, from Lower Bourne to Guildford (10 miles away).
If guests are travelling by rail, the nearest station is Farnham station, about 1.1 miles north. Parks such as Underdown nature reserve typically need permission for vehicles and catering, so a garden or hired venue is often simpler. Hiring our food truck for an event near the Surrey Hills National Landscape, within about 7 miles of Lower Bourne? Country lanes can be narrow and verges soft, so tell us about the route in.
We cater events across GU10 and GU9. Streets in the area include Fox Road, Ford Lane and Kiln Lane, and an event on any of them can work if the truck or trailer can park nearby. Lower Bourne sits on or near the A287, so getting the truck or trailer to your event is simple. If your venue is just outside Lower Bourne, we also cover Tilford Reeds (1 mile south-east), Shortfield Common (1 mile south), Millbridge (2 miles south), Tilford (2 miles east) and Frensham (2 miles south).

Is it possible to have you in Underdown nature reserve?
Only if the landowner, often the council, allows it. Check with them, and we’ll provide what they ask for from us.
How is the food prepared?
Food is cooked to order in our truck or trailer, or served from a build-your-own taco bar. Slow-cooked fillings are prepared in advance and kept hot on site.
Can you cater for children?
Yes, children are easy to plan for. Let us know numbers and ages, and we’ll plan the menu with them in mind.
Is food truck hire good for weddings?
The truck or trailer can serve the wedding breakfast, evening food or both. Timings are agreed with you and your venue. See our food truck wedding guide.
How much does food truck hire cost in Lower Bourne?
It depends on guest numbers, the menu, the length of service and the location. Contact us for a quote.
How many guests can you serve?
It depends on the menu and how long service runs, but around 50 to 400 guests is the usual range. Tell us your numbers and we’ll advise.

How it compares
Plated catering needs a kitchen tent, waiting staff and set courses. A food truck arrives as a kitchen and serves from the hatch. 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.
