About our food truck hire in South Merstham
Our drinks bar can be hired with the truck with margaritas, Mexican beer and aguas frescas. A build-your-own taco bar can sit beside the truck too. It works well for birthday parties and launch events, serving fresh salsas and guacamole, burritos and vegan tacos.
In a smaller place like South Merstham, hiring our food truck for a party at home is often the easiest option: no venue to book, and guests order straight from the hatch. Tell us about the lane and the drive. We prepare everything fresh for your event and serve it straight from our truck or trailer.
Is food truck hire right for your event?
A hog roast suits meat eaters well, but tacos and bowls make vegan, gluten-free and dairy-free guests easier to feed. A food truck can be a practical alternative to plated catering, because it needs no venue kitchen. Ask us for a quote.

DIY taco night versus a caterer
You can host your own taco night for a crowd, but it takes planning. Fillings need slow cooking, tortillas need warming as you go, and salsas need making. Our taco bar guide explains how.
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.
South Merstham: your questions answered
We are having a ceremony at All Saints': can you cater afterwards?
Yes. The church itself is not where we’d set up, but a hall, field or garden close by with room for the truck or trailer can work well. Let us know the reception address and we’ll check the access.
Which station is closest to South Merstham?
Guests can use Merstham station, which is right in South Merstham.
Can you cater for children?
Of course. 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 cater for dietary needs?
We plan vegan, vegetarian, dairy-free and gluten-free options, and corn tortillas suit gluten-free guests. Every dish has allergen information.
Can we hire the truck for our wedding?
A food truck suits a relaxed wedding well, especially in the evening. We agree access and timings with the venue.
What do you serve?
Every menu is agreed with you. Fillings might include slow-cooked pork carnitas, chicken tinga, beef birria and vegan options such as spiced mushrooms or black beans. See our menu for ideas.
