Planning food truck hire around Merstham
Merstham is about 2 miles north of Redhill, in Surrey. Whether your event is in the middle of Merstham or on the outskirts, we offer the same service: a truck or trailer at your event, options for every diet and a clear price. Merstham is one of 395 places in Surrey where we can bring food truck hire. Our nearest city page is Croydon, about 7 miles away.
A food truck in Nutfield Marshes would need the park owner’s agreement, so check that first. Guests leaving a church like Church of St Katharine could walk or drive to a nearby garden or hall where the truck is ready. With the Surrey Hills National Landscape within about 8 miles, a rural setting for your private or work event is within reach. Firm ground and a clear way in matter most for the truck or trailer.
We serve at events all over RH1 and the streets around it. From London Road North, Shepherd's Hill and Church Hill or a nearby road, we can bring food truck hire there, given access. For events just outside Merstham, we cover South Merstham (1 mile south), Gatton (1 mile south-west), Holmethorpe (1 mile south), Hooley (2 miles north) and Netherne on-the-Hill (2 miles north). We also cater in nearby towns such as Epsom (7 miles north-west), Horley (6 miles south), Ewell (7 miles north-west), Reigate (3 miles south-west), Walton-on-Thames (14 miles north-west) and Caterham (3 miles north-east).
Well-known places in the area include Surrey Fire Museum (2.8 miles south-west) and Bletchingley Castle (2.8 miles south-east). Not far away are South London Downs National Nature Reserve and Colley Hill.
- Local schools include Merstham Park School (0.9 miles south) and East Surrey College (1.4 miles south-west)
Food truck hire in Merstham, served fresh
We serve when you want us to: a lunchtime window, an evening service or a longer slot through a party. Let us know your running order and we’ll plan around it. For big birthdays and leaving parties, we will put together a menu of burritos, tacos from the hatch and loaded nachos for your guests.
In a hamlet or village like Merstham, our truck or trailer can serve a private party or a team day in a field or garden. Guests queue at the hatch, so have some cover ready in case of rain. We arrive ready to serve, and clear our own area when service is finished.
Where the truck can go in Merstham
We serve from a truck or trailer, so the spot needs a little planning. These are the things we check:
- Parking arrangements if we’re not on private land
- A spot away from neighbours
- Level, solid ground for the vehicle
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and the access, and we’ll advise.
How it compares
Burger and pizza vans are familiar. Tacos and burritos from a truck feel different. Comparing caterers? Look at what each quote includes: service time, staff, plates and napkins, travel and VAT. Our quote sets out what’s included.
Why book with us
- Fast service, even with a queue
- Food and drinks from one caterer, if you want both
- Allergen information for every dish
- A truck or trailer that comes to you

Planning for every diet
Every guest is catered for, vegan, vegetarian, dairy-free and gluten-free included. To get it right:
- Guests with serious allergies should contact us first
- Ask the venue about catering vehicles before booking
- Email us any allergies
- Tell us about coeliac guests
Guests order at the hatch and their food is handed out hot.
Margaritas, Mexican beer and aguas frescas from our drinks bar can join the truck.
Prices and what affects them
Contact us for a quote, which reflects:
- Whether you need disposables
- The menu you choose
- Timings and hours
- The number of people
Pricing depends on the event. A simple party menu and a full wedding day are very different jobs. Contact us for a quote.
Getting an accurate quote
To check availability and price, we need:
- How we drive in and where we can park
- Roughly how many adults and children
- A picture of the space, if it’s a garden or field
- Where the event is
Not sure what you need yet? That’s fine: tell us about the occasion and the guests, and we will suggest a menu. When you are ready, fill in our quote form.
DIY taco night versus a caterer
Doing it yourself saves money, but the host ends up in the kitchen. Booking a caterer means you can relax with everyone else.
If you do it yourself, work out quantities first: our guide to how many tacos per person helps. Keep warmed tortillas covered, and label anything containing allergens.
Perfect for your event in Merstham
Nothing is needed from a venue kitchen, so gardens, fields and grounds all become options.
A truck or trailer works for big and small events alike. Typical bookings include:
- Weddings
- Client hospitality
- Family celebrations
- Company away days
Colleagues or friends without a car may like to know that Merstham station is about 0.5 miles away.
What your quote should include
- How dietary needs and allergies are handled
- The deposit and payment dates
- Whether travel is included
- If the price includes VAT
Step by step
On the day, we position the truck or trailer and get the serving area ready. Service starts at the time we have agreed, planned around your event. A Christmas party in Merstham with a hired food truck will be in the dark from about 3:55pm, so choose a well-lit spot for the truck or trailer. In late June, it stays light until about 9:20pm.
- Share your plans for the event.
- Together we plan dishes that cover your guests’ diets.
- We check power, water and timings with the venue.
- The truck serves at the agreed times.
- When everyone is fed, we clear our area.
How to prepare
- Tell us when you want service to start
- Let us know who to talk to on the day
- Send us final numbers and dietary needs in good time

Merstham questions
Do you hire out your food truck for parties in places like Merstham?
Yes, subject to the date and access for the truck or trailer. Let us know about access and where we’d park.
Is it possible to have you in Nutfield Marshes?
It depends on the park’s owner, who would need to agree to a catering vehicle on site. Ask them first; if they say yes, we will send what they need from us.
How far ahead should we book?
The sooner the better. Peak dates go quickly, so it pays to ask early.
How long do you serve for?
We arrive in good time to set up before service. The length of service is agreed when you book.
Do you need electricity?
That depends on the set-up, and we agree power and water with you before the day. Let us know whether there’s a supply near where we will park.
What access do you need?
Access and level ground matter most: a level spot to park, space for guests to queue and a little room for a serving table. Send us a photo and tell us about gates, slopes and soft ground.
Can you plan for allergies?
We plan allergen-aware menus, including for nut allergies, and give allergen information for every dish. We keep options separate, but we cannot promise anything is completely allergen-free. If a guest has a severe allergy, please talk to us before the event.
How does food truck hire work?
Our truck or trailer comes to your venue and serves your guests from the hatch. It’s a private booking for your guests only.
