Food truck hire in Lunsford
Common questions in Lunsford
Which station should guests use for Lunsford?
Guests can use New Hythe station, about 0.7 miles east of Lunsford.
Could you serve our guests after a service at Church of the Holy Trinity?
Yes, at a nearby garden, marquee or hall with access for the truck or trailer. Service would be at the reception venue, not the church. Send us the reception address.
Do you give allergen information?
Yes. Tell us about allergies when you book. Under UK rules, caterers must give information on 14 allergens, and we give it for every dish (Food Standards Agency guidance). For severe allergies, please talk to us first.
Where do you cater?
We cater across London and the South East, including Kent. Find your area.
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 will confirm what we need with your quote.
Are plates and napkins included?
Ask us when you enquire. Tell us what your venue provides, and we will confirm what’s included with your quote.
When should we book?
As early as you can, especially for summer weekends. Ask about your date even if it’s soon.
Do you cook on site?
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.
How our food truck hire works in Lunsford
Pair the truck with our Mexican drinks bar with margaritas, Mexican beer and aguas frescas, with licensing checked with you. We can add a taco-bar station next to the truck. It suits leaving dos and retirements and anniversary celebrations, with burrito bowls, burritos and quesadillas.
Around Lunsford, a hired food truck can serve in a garden, a field or a hall car park. If the road in is narrow or the ground soft, tell us so we can plan. Guests are served from our truck or trailer, or from a serving table nearby, and we plan the service around your numbers.
How it compares
Hog roasts are popular with meat eaters, but tacos and bowls make vegan, gluten-free and dairy-free guests easier to feed. The cost per head can fall as numbers rise, because the set-up is similar for different sizes of event. Give us your numbers and we will quote.
Why book with us
- Fast service, even with a queue
- Menus for gluten-free, dairy-free, vegetarian and vegan guests
- Set-up planned with you and your venue
- Book food, drinks or both

Should I do it myself?
For a small group, a taco night at home can work well. For big numbers or lots of diets, a caterer makes life easier, and handles allergen information for you.
You can host your own taco night for a crowd, but it takes planning. Fillings need slow cooking, tortillas need warming as you go, and salsas need making. Read our guide to taco bars.
Working with your venue
Hosting a party at home? Send us a picture of the space and tell us about the drive and gates, and we will tell you honestly whether a truck or trailer will fit.
If you’re organising for someone else, whether you are a planner, an office manager or an event organiser, we will work directly with you and the venue. It keeps things simple.

How we price food truck hire
Each event is quoted on its own, and the price depends on a few things:
- The number of people
- Travel, parking and access
- What the venue already provides
- Staff for serving and the bar
When you compare quotes, check what each one includes: service time, staff, plates and napkins, travel and VAT. Our quote sets out what’s included.
What we need to know
To speed things up, tell us:
- Diets and allergies you know about
- Access for the truck or trailer, including gates and ground
- Whether you’d like food, drinks or both
- The date and time of the event
The quickest way to a quote is to drop us a line using the enquiry form. Give us the details of your event, and we’ll suggest a menu to suit.
