Food truck hire in Shamley Green, served fresh
A hired food truck works for weddings, birthdays and staff days. Popular choices include vegan tacos, fresh salsas and guacamole and loaded nachos, and it suits retirement parties and client events and product launches.
For a rural spot like Shamley Green, food truck hire needs a little planning: the gate, the ground and the distance from the lane. Power and water may be limited, so we confirm the arrangements before the day. We plan the timings around your day, so service starts when you want it.
What happens on the day
A typical event goes like this: we park up and get ready, service opens at the agreed time, and your guests are served fresh until service ends. A Christmas party in Shamley Green with a hired food truck will be in the dark from about 3:55pm, so ask the venue about outdoor lighting where we will park. At midsummer, sunset is around 9:20pm.
- Ask us whether your date is available.
- We agree a hatch menu and send a quote.
- We confirm the parking spot and the route in.
- We drive in, open the hatch and serve your guests.
- We pack down and drive away when service ends.

Space, access and the venue
Access is the first thing to check for a truck or trailer. We look for:
- Gate widths, overhead branches and soft ground checked in advance
- Room for guests to gather at the hatch
- The venue’s or landowner’s permission for a food truck
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and the access, and we’ll advise.
Is food truck hire right for your event?
Most guests have seen a burger van. Tacos and burritos from a truck feel different. The price depends on guest numbers, the menu and how long you’d like us to serve, plus any add-ons and the location. We quote for each event individually.
Why us?
- Menus for vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and dairy-free guests
- Book food, drinks or both
- Everything served fresh from the hatch
- Fast service, even with a queue

DIY taco night versus a caterer
If you do it yourself, work out quantities first: our guide to how many tacos per person helps. Keep warmed tortillas covered, and label anything containing allergens.
DIY catering keeps costs down, but the host spends the party serving. With a caterer, you get the food and drinks without the work.

Your questions about food truck hire in Shamley Green
Is it possible to have you in Cucknell's Wood?
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.
Can you bring a truck or trailer to venues in the Surrey Hills National Landscape?
Yes, though some venues in protected landscapes have extra rules; ask your venue. We’ll follow the site rules.
How much does food truck hire cost?
There is no fixed price list, as every booking is different. Tell us your plans and we’ll quote for your event. See the Mexican catering cost guide for background.
How long are you on site?
That depends on your event and menu. Timings are agreed in advance to suit your day.
Do you do margaritas?
Yes, we do. The drinks bar can be added to food or booked on its own, with alcohol-free options such as aguas frescas. For alcohol, we’ll talk licensing through with you and your venue.
Do you have options for kids?
Yes, children are easy to plan for. Tell us how many and roughly how old, and we’ll suggest mild options.

Hiring the truck or trailer generally suits around 50 to 400 guests. Smaller parties are quoted case by case.
