Lower Cox Street questions
What’s the nearest station to Lower Cox Street for guests?
Guests can use Bearsted station, about 3.1 miles south of Lower Cox Street.
Can you bring your truck or trailer to White Horse Wood?
Only if the landowner, often the council, allows it. Ask them first, and we will help with the information they need from us.
Can you plan for allergies?
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. Guests with severe allergies should talk to us before the event.
Do you need electricity?
It depends on the event and the set-up, so we confirm power and water arrangements with each booking. Let us know whether there’s a supply near where we’ll park.
Do you have options for kids?
Yes, children are welcome. Let us know numbers and ages, and we’ll plan the menu with them in mind.
Is there a minimum number of guests?
Truck and trailer service usually suits around 50 to 400 guests. Smaller parties are quoted case by case, and festivals can be larger. Send us your numbers and we will advise.
Is private hire the same as trading at a festival?
A private hire is booked and quoted for you, and we do not sell to the public. Event organisers should see street food for festivals.
How much space do you need?
Access and level ground matter most: 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.

Food truck hire or something else?

Why us?
- Set-up planned with you and your venue
- A quote that sets out what’s included
- Every guest catered for, vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and dairy-free included
- Fast service, even with a queue
