Food truck hire near Old Dean
How our food truck hire works in Old Dean
The truck or trailer is a working kitchen on wheels, 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. On the menu are vegan tacos, burrito bowls and tacos from the hatch, and it’s a good fit for leaving parties and staff appreciation days.
In and around Old Dean, our food truck or trailer can work at home, in a field or at a hall. If the road in is narrow or the ground soft, tell us so we can plan. Every guest is catered for, gluten-free, dairy-free, vegetarian and vegan included, with allergen information for everything we serve.
What affects the price in Old Dean
Two events with the same number of guests can cost different amounts, depending on:
- Distance and access to the venue
- How many guests we are serving
- How many staff you need
- How long we are needed on site
Catering from a truck or trailer can be a practical alternative to a sit-down meal, because it needs no venue kitchen. Ask us for a quote.

Good planning starts with a few facts. Try to include:
- What you’d like on the menu
- Vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free, dairy-free and allergy numbers

What we need at the venue
We will agree the spot with you before the day. A good spot ticks these boxes:
- Level, solid ground for the vehicle
- Some space between the truck and nearby homes
- A parking suspension, where a street spot is needed
If you’re unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think before booking.

Roughly 29 miles separate Old Dean from central London, close enough for a London team’s away day. After a service at a church such as St Martin's Church, a hired food truck at a garden, field or venue nearby can feed everyone.
We serve at events all over GU15 and GU19 and the streets around it. Whether your event is on Esher Road, Gibbet Lane and Sutton Road or anywhere nearby, we’ll plan where to park and serve.

Organising for someone else?
If you are organising for someone else, such as a wedding planner, an office manager or a festival organiser, we’ll work directly with you and the venue. It saves passing messages back and forth.
If your event is in a public space, such as a park, check what permission you need first. We can send what the landowner or council needs from us.
Should I do it myself?
A DIY taco night is possible for a crowd, but it is more work than it looks. There are fillings to slow-cook, tortillas to keep warm and salsas to make. Our taco bar guide explains how.
Not sure whether to do it yourself or book a caterer? Consider your numbers, your guests’ diets and your own time. Contact us for a quote to compare.
Questions from Old Dean
Is Old Dean close to London?
About 29 miles from central London, and well within our area.
Can you cater a reception after a service at St Martin's Church?
Yes. The church itself is not 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 the truck suitable for a large group?
Hiring the truck or trailer usually suits around 50 to 400 guests. Smaller gatherings are looked at case by case.
How long do you serve for?
We get there well before service to set up. Serving times are agreed with you in advance.
Do you offer a bar with the truck?
We bring bar staff with the drinks bar. Alcohol needs the right licence, which we will check with you.
How spicy is the food?
That is your choice: we can keep the main dishes mild, with hotter salsas served separately.
How much is food truck hire?
We quote for every hire, based on guest numbers, the menu, the location and service times. For a price, send a quick message through our quote form.
Do you give allergen information?
Yes, and it helps to hear about allergies when you book. Under UK rules, caterers must give information on 14 allergens, and we do that for every dish (Food Standards Agency guidance). Anyone with a severe allergy should speak to us before the event.
About the menu

Food truck hire or something else?
