About our food truck hire in Nettlestead
We cook inside our truck or trailer, so there is no need for kitchen space at the venue. What we do need is level ground, a way in and the venue’s agreement, with power and water confirmed per booking. It suits wedding receptions and staff appreciation days, serving burrito bowls, tacos from the hatch and fresh salsas and guacamole.
In a hamlet or village like Nettlestead, our food truck or trailer can serve a private party or a team day in a field or garden. Guests order at the hatch, so plan a sheltered spot for the queue in case of rain. We plan the timings around your day, whether that’s speeches, a lunch break or a festival schedule.
Nettlestead: your questions answered
Could you serve our guests after a service at St Mary's Church?
Yes. The church itself isn’t where we’d set up, but a hall, field or garden close by with room for the truck or trailer can work well. Let us know the reception address and we will check the access.
Is Nettlestead close to London?
Roughly 28 miles from the centre of London.
Do you have options for kids?
Yes, children are easy to plan for. Tell us how many and roughly how old, and we’ll plan the menu with them in mind.
Do you have dairy-free options?
Yes. We offer dairy-free options, and we will tell you which dishes contain milk.
How is private hire different from festival trading?
When you hire us, the booking is yours, so we do not serve passers-by. Organisers wanting us to trade at their event can see our festival page.
When do you arrive?
We get there well before service to set up. Serving times are agreed with you in advance, along with pack-down.
Do you cater in Nettlestead?
Yes. We cover London and the South East, and Nettlestead is within our area. To check your date, tell us about it on our contact page.
How much space do you need?
A level, firm spot for the truck or trailer, with access wide and high enough to drive in, and the venue’s agreement. We confirm power and water with you for each booking.
