How the day works
It’s a relaxed, well-organised set-up. We agree arrival and serving times in advance, set up our food truck or trailer, and get on with serving. A hired food truck at a summer event in Scragged Oak can serve in daylight until about 9:15pm at midsummer, and by late September sunset is about 7:00pm. In December it is dark by about 3:50pm, so the queue by the hatch needs lighting.

- We agree a hatch menu and send a quote.
- The spot and the way in are agreed in advance.
- On the day, guests order at the hatch and we cook to order.
- After service, we close up and leave the spot clear.

Before you choose a spot
Before the day, we’ll agree where we park and serve. A good spot ticks these boxes:
- Power and water, confirmed with each booking
- Seating or standing room near the truck
- Gate widths, overhead branches and soft ground checked in advance
If you’re unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think.
What affects the price in Scragged Oak
We quote for your event, and the price is based on:
- Food, drinks or both
- Staff for serving and the bar
- Parking and the route in
- The number of people
Catering from a truck or trailer can be a practical alternative to a sit-down meal, because it needs no venue kitchen. Contact us for a quote to compare.

- The date and rough timings
- Your menu ideas
- The venue or postcode
- Approximate guest numbers, including children

Diets, allergies and planning
We cater for vegan, vegetarian, dairy-free and gluten-free guests. To make it work smoothly:
- Plan a covered area for guests to eat
- Confirm the venue accepts outside caterers and vehicles

Quesadillas make an easy option for children, if you’d like a kids’ choice.
Common questions in Scragged Oak
Could you serve in Levan Strice?
It depends on the park’s owner, who would need to agree to a catering vehicle on site. Ask them first; if they say yes, we will send what they need from us.
Do you come to events in the Kent Downs 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 you keep it mild?
That is your choice: we can keep it mild and put the hotter salsas on the side.
Can you do dairy-free food?
Yes, on request. Let us know your dairy-free numbers, and we’ll include them in the plan.
What space does the truck need?
A firm, level spot, a way in that fits the vehicle, and the venue’s agreement. We confirm power and water when you book.
Which areas do you serve?
London and the South East: Greater London, Kent, Surrey, East and West Sussex, Hampshire, the Isle of Wight, Berkshire, Buckinghamshire, Milton Keynes and Oxfordshire, including Scragged Oak.
Is there a minimum number of guests?
That depends on the menu and the service time, but around 50 to 400 guests is the usual range. Tell us your numbers and we will advise.
How much space do you need?
The main things are access and a level spot: a firm spot for the truck or trailer, room for a queue and, for a taco bar, space for a serving table. If in doubt, send us a photo of the space and the way in.
