Food truck hire in Sandy Cross
Food truck hire in Sandy Cross, from our truck or trailer
The truck or trailer is a working kitchen on wheels, so your venue does not need a kitchen. We need a level spot, safe access and the venue’s permission, with power and water confirmed per booking. We serve loaded nachos, tacos from the hatch and burrito bowls, and it suits family celebrations and engagement parties.
For a rural spot like Sandy Cross, food truck hire needs a little planning: the gate, the ground and the distance from the lane. We confirm power and water arrangements with you. Everything is prepared fresh for your event and served from our truck or trailer.
What affects the price in Sandy Cross
The same guest numbers can mean different prices, depending on:
- Distance and access to the venue
- Whether you need disposables
- Your choice of food and drinks
- How many staff you need
Extra dishes, drinks and longer service are priced on request, so you choose what goes in.
What we need to know
When you get in touch, it helps to tell us:
- The date and rough timings
- What you’d like on the menu
- Diets and allergies you know about
- Approximate guest numbers, including children
Every event is quoted individually, based on what you need. For a quote, fill in our quote form.
Space, access and the venue
We’ll agree the spot with you before the day. A good spot ticks these boxes:
- Any parking or loading permission needed for street locations
- A flat parking spot on firm ground or hardstanding
- Gate widths, overhead branches and soft ground checked in advance
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and the access, and we’ll advise.
Diets, allergies and planning
Nearly every event has some special diets. To cater well for them:
- Ask about parking rules if we will be on a road
- Confirm allergies with us in writing
- Check gate widths and any height limits
- Share your running order
Service starts when your timings say.
Quesadillas make an easy option for children.

Sandy Cross: your questions answered
Do you come to events in the Surrey Hills National Landscape?
Yes. Some venues there have rules about vehicles, ground and catering, so check with yours. Tell us about narrow lanes and soft ground.
Which station should guests use for Sandy Cross?
Aldershot station, about 2.1 miles north-west of the centre.
How long do you serve for?
We get there well before service to set up. The length of service is agreed when you book.
Can you cater in a back garden?
Yes, as long as there’s access and a level, firm spot. Tell us about the drive, gates and any slopes, and we will tell you honestly whether it works.
Can you plan for allergies?
We plan allergen-aware menus, including for nut allergies, with allergen information for every dish. We plan carefully and keep options separate, though we cannot promise a dish is allergen-free. Guests with severe allergies should talk to us before the event.
Can you do gluten-free food?
We can, using corn tortillas. Corn tortillas are naturally gluten-free, but some fillings, sauces and toppings may not be, so we plan gluten-free dishes carefully and give allergen information.
Is there a minimum number of guests?
Our truck and trailer service usually suits events of around 50 to 400 guests. Festivals can be bigger, and smaller parties are quoted case by case. Send us your numbers and we’ll advise.
Do you provide plates and napkins?
That is confirmed with each quote. Tell us whether your venue has crockery or you’d prefer disposables and we’ll talk it through.

- Share your plans for the event.
- We suggest fillings and dishes for every diet.
- Power, water and timings are agreed with you or the venue.
- The truck serves at the agreed times.
- When everyone is fed, we clear our area.

DIY taco night or a caterer?
For a small group, a taco night at home can work well. For larger numbers, mixed diets or a wedding, a caterer takes the pressure off, and handles allergen information for you.
You can set up your own drinks table, but someone still has to mix, pour and keep an eye on it all evening. Our margarita bar guide has tips.
