Food truck hire near Skippers Hill
How the day works
A typical event goes like this: we arrive and set up, we open the hatch when you’re ready, and your guests are served fresh until service ends. Late-September events in Skippers Hill see sunset at about 7:05pm, so evening service from the truck may run past dusk. A late-May event keeps its light until roughly 8:50pm.
- Ask us whether your date is available.
- 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.
- We pack down and drive away when service ends.
Preparing for the day
- Send us final numbers and dietary needs in good time
- Have level hardstanding or firm ground ready
- Tell us about narrow gates or low branches
How to get a price
We need only a few details to quote: the date, where the event is, how many guests and any dietary needs. To send them, send a quick message through our quote form.

Food truck hire in Skippers Hill, served fresh
When you hire our food truck, it serves your guests and nobody else. Unlike a stall at a festival or market, it’s a private hire, so we plan the menu and service times around you. At engagements and anniversaries and birthday parties, we will put together a menu of vegan tacos, fresh salsas and guacamole and quesadillas.
In a rural place like Skippers Hill, access is the main thing to plan for a hired truck: 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’ll check the space, access and power with you before the day, so there are no surprises on arrival.

Organising for someone else?
If you are booking for a business, tell us what your finance team needs, and we’ll talk you through the process. We are happy to liaise with facilities on access and timings.
If your event is in a public space, such as a park, check what permission you need first. We’ll provide the information the landowner or council asks for from us.
How we price food truck hire
Every event is priced individually, based on a few main things:
- Food, drinks or both
- Distance and access to the venue
- Staff for serving and the bar
- Plates, napkins and cutlery
Access, parking and the distance to your venue can affect the price, so tell us about the venue when you ask for a quote. The full price is confirmed in your quote.
What to tell us
To speed things up, tell us:
- Approximate guest numbers, including children
- Gate widths, slopes and the ground
- Any dietary needs and allergies
- Your menu ideas
A detailed enquiry gets a more accurate quote: venue, timings, menu ideas and access. To send your details, send a quick message through our quote form.
DIY taco night versus 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, with allergen information for every dish.
Plenty of people try a DIY taco night at home. Common snags are cold tortillas, uneven quantities and the host missing the party. If you’d rather be with your guests, we will do the serving.
Before you choose a spot
The route in matters as much as the spot itself. We look for:
- Space in front of the hatch for guests to queue
- A parking suspension, where a street spot is needed
- A way in wide and high enough for the vehicle
Not sure about your space? Send us a picture and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.
Planning for every diet
Mixed diets are straightforward to plan for, because options can be kept separate. A few tips:
- Check gate widths and any height limits
- Plan a covered area for guests to eat
- Give us separate numbers for children
- Confirm the venue accepts outside caterers and vehicles
We keep allergen information for every dish at the hatch, so guests can ask before ordering.
Our Mexican drinks bar, with margaritas, Mexican beer and aguas frescas can be added to the booking.
Events we cater in Skippers Hill
A food truck gives a private event a focal point.
A truck or trailer suits almost any gathering. People in Skippers Hill can book us for events such as:
- Milestone birthdays
- Client events and product launches
- Staff summer parties
- Anniversary celebrations
When the service is at a church such as Church of the Good Shepherd, the truck would serve at the reception venue rather than at the church.
Questions to ask before you book
- Staff numbers and hours
- VAT, if it applies
- Plates and napkins, or nothing at all
- A food hygiene rating you can check
Skippers Hill questions
How far is Skippers Hill from London?
About 37 miles from central London.
Do you cater in the High Weald 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.
Who clears up?
We pack down and tidy our own area after service. Ask us if you’d like help with anything else.
How much is a food truck for an event?
We quote for each event, so the price fits what you want. Give us your date, numbers and menu ideas for a clear quote.
What do you need at the venue?
Access and level ground matter most: 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 picture of the space and the way in.
Is the food suitable for children?
Yes. We can keep dishes mild, and simple options such as quesadillas or nachos can be part of the menu. Tell us how many children are coming.
Do you sell to the public at private events?
When you hire us, the booking is yours, and we don’t sell to the public. Organisers wanting us to trade at their event can see our festival page.
Can you come to a private house?
That depends on access. A drive or a spot nearby may work, with permission, if the garden itself is out of reach. Tell us about the space and we will advise.
