About our food truck hire in Ruxley
Guests walk up to the hatch, order and take their food away hot. It is simple, quick and sociable for guests and hosts. At christenings and family parties and parties in venue grounds, we’ll put together a menu of vegan tacos, burritos and loaded nachos for your guests.
For a private or work event in Ruxley, our food truck or trailer parks up and guests order at the hatch. Let us know about the access, any barriers and the width of the way in, and send a photo if you can. Every guest is catered for, vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and dairy-free included, and we give allergen information for every dish.

Planning for every diet
Mixed diets are straightforward to plan for, because options can be kept separate. Here are a few tips for planning:
- Tell us when guests should eat
- Measure gates and look for low branches on the way in
- Plan a covered area for guests to eat
- Look into parking permissions if the truck can’t go off-road
The hatch opens at the time you choose.
A taco-bar station can sit next to the truck.
Should I do it myself?
A DIY taco night works well for a small group. For larger numbers, mixed diets or a wedding, a caterer takes the pressure off, with allergen information for every dish.
Doing it yourself? Start with the quantities: see how many tacos per person. Keep tortillas warm in a covered basket, and label dishes for guests with allergies.
Ruxley: your questions answered
Do you cater in the Kent Downs National Landscape?
Yes, though some venues in protected landscapes have extra rules; ask your venue. Tell us about narrow lanes and soft ground.
Could you serve our guests after a service at St Botolph'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’ll check the access.
What does it cost to hire the truck?
We quote for every hire, based on guest numbers, the menu, the location and service times. Contact us for a quote.
Do you provide plates and napkins?
Ask us when you enquire. Tell us what your venue provides, and we’ll confirm what’s included with your quote.
Where can the truck park?
A firm, level spot, a way in that fits the vehicle, and the venue’s agreement. Power and water are confirmed with each booking.
How many guests can you serve?
Our truck and trailer service normally suits events of around 50 to 400 guests. Smaller parties are quoted case by case, and festivals can be larger. Send us your numbers and we’ll advise.
Do you clear up afterwards?
We clear our own area when service is finished. Ask us if you’d like help with anything else.
Do you provide allergen information for each dish?
Yes, and it helps to hear about allergies when you book. UK law requires caterers to provide 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.
Prices and what affects them
The same guest numbers can mean different prices, depending on:
- Whether you add a drinks bar or food
- How long we are needed on site
- Guest numbers
- Distance and access to the venue
Access, parking and the distance to your venue can affect the price, so it helps to tell us about your venue. The full price is confirmed in your quote.
Details that help
For a quote, it helps to have:
- The date and time of the event
- Approximate guest numbers, including children
- Diets and allergies you know about
- A photo of the space, if it’s a garden or field
Not sure what you need yet? That is fine: tell us about the occasion and the guests, and we will make suggestions. When you are ready, tell us about it on our contact page.
The process
From set-up to service, we look after everything you’ve booked from us, so you can enjoy your event. Late-September events in Ruxley see sunset at about 7:05pm, so a later service will need some lighting. In late May, daylight lasts until about 8:50pm.
- Tell us what the event is and who’s coming.
- Together we plan dishes that cover your guests’ diets.
- Power, water and timings are agreed with you or the venue.
- The truck serves at the agreed times.
- Once service ends, we tidy up and go.
Before we arrive
- Get the venue’s permission for us to park and serve
- Find out what power and water are available
- Send us final numbers and dietary needs in good time

What’s on the menu
Tacos from the hatch
A taco is ideal food from a truck, and corn tortillas suit gluten-free guests.
Burrito bowls
A bowl is a good choice for guests avoiding tortillas, and they’re easy to adapt.
Planning the serving area
We’ll be honest if a space will not work, and suggest an alternative. The main points are:
- A spot away from neighbours
- Power and water details confirmed in advance
- Room for guests to gather at the hatch
In Ruxley, as everywhere in Greater London, the ULEZ applies and kerb space is limited. Where will the truck or trailer stop? A drive, a courtyard or a suspended bay can all work.
Not sure about your space? Send us a photo and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.
