Food truck hire in Sandhills
Organising for someone else?
Organising a club, school or community event in Sandhills? Service from a truck or trailer is quick, even for a crowd, and the menu can suit most diets. Tell us about the event and we’ll suggest a menu.
Venues often have their own rules about outside caterers: where vehicles can park, access times and the paperwork they need. Send us your venue’s requirements and we’ll follow them.
Food truck hire for your event in Sandhills
We cook inside our truck or trailer, so there’s no need for kitchen space at the venue. We need a level spot, safe access and the venue’s permission. At summer parties at home and milestone birthdays, we can serve burritos, fresh salsas and guacamole and quesadillas and more.
In a hamlet or village like Sandhills, 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 arrive ready to serve, and clear our own area when service is finished.
Before you choose a spot
No two venues are the same, so we’ll ask about yours when you get in touch. In general, we need:
- A parking suspension, where a street spot is needed
- Level, solid ground for the vehicle
- Seating or standing room near the truck
If you are unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think.
Diets, allergies and planning
With a little notice, most diets are easy. We suggest:
- Tell us when guests should eat
- Send allergy details in writing
- Let us know who is coeliac
- Look into parking permissions if the truck cannot go off-road
The hatch opens at the time you choose, and we cook each order as it comes.
Margaritas, Mexican beer and aguas frescas from our drinks bar can join the truck.
Sandhills questions
Do you come to events in the Surrey Hills National Landscape?
We do, where the venue allows a catering vehicle. Lanes can be narrow and ground soft, so tell us how we’d get in.
Can we hire your food truck for a private party in Sandhills?
Yes, depending on the date. For a private or work event in a village or hamlet, the main thing is access: tell us about the lane, the gate and the ground.
Can you keep it mild?
We can keep it mild, with hotter salsas on the side for anyone who wants more heat.
Do you have gluten-free options?
Yes, we offer gluten-free options, made with corn tortillas. Let us know about coeliac guests in advance so we can talk through how their food is prepared. See are corn tortillas gluten-free?
Is food truck hire good for weddings?
We can serve from the truck for the wedding meal, the evening or both. Timings are agreed with you and your venue. Read more in having a food truck at a wedding.
Can you cater in a back garden?
That depends on access. A drive or a spot nearby may work, with permission, if the garden itself is out of reach. Send us a picture and we’ll talk it through.
Do you need power and water?
Tell us what the site has, such as a supply from the venue near where we will park, and we will confirm the arrangements with your quote.
What do you need at the venue?
A level, firm spot for the truck or trailer, with access wide and high enough to drive in, plus the venue’s permission. We confirm power and water with you for each booking.
How we price food truck hire
Every event is priced individually, based on a few main things:
- How long we’re needed on site
- How many staff you need
- What the venue already provides
- Distance and access to the venue
Extra dishes, drinks and longer service are priced on request, so you can choose what you need.
What we need to know
Good planning starts with a few facts. Try to include:
- The venue or postcode
- How we drive in and where we can park
- Approximate guest numbers, including children
- Your date and when you want service to start
Tell us your date, venue or postcode and roughly how many guests, along with any dietary needs, and we will reply with a menu suggestion and a quote. Just drop us a line using the enquiry form.
DIY taco night or a caterer?
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. Read our guide to taco bars.
Plenty of people try a DIY taco night at home. The usual problems are cold tortillas, running out of a popular filling and a host stuck at the stove. If you’d rather be with your guests, we will do the serving.

Step by step
Expect a friendly, organised team. We agree arrival and serving times in advance, get the serving area ready, and serve without fuss. A hired food truck at a summer event in Sandhills can serve in daylight until about 9:20pm at midsummer, while late September brings sunset forward to around 7:05pm. In December it is dark by about 3:55pm, so the queue by the hatch needs lighting.
- Send us your date, the address, a headcount and dietary needs.
- You get a hatch menu and a quote for the hire.
- We confirm the parking spot, access, power and water with you or the venue.
- Your guests order at the hatch and we serve hot food at the agreed times.
- Once guests are fed, we clear our area and head off.
Preparing for the day
- Pick a flat, firm spot for us to park
- Arrange somewhere covered for guests to eat
- Ask the venue about power and water
Getting a price
