Food truck hire for your event in Stone Cross
A hired food truck works for weddings, birthdays and staff days, and any gathering where guests want hot food without a sit-down meal. For garden parties and anniversary celebrations, we’ll put together a menu of tacos from the hatch, vegan tacos and fresh salsas and guacamole.
In a small place like Stone Cross, a hired food truck might park in a garden, paddock or field. Tell us about narrow lanes, gates and long drives. Soft ground after rain is worth mentioning too. We turn up ready to serve, and tidy our own area afterwards.
Is food truck hire right for your event?
A marquee kitchen with plated service needs more space, more staff and more time. Our truck or trailer brings the kitchen and serves from one hatch, needing level ground, access and the venue’s permission. Larger events can cost less per head, since the set-up is much the same either way. Give us your numbers and we will quote.
What you get with us
- Access, space and power checked in advance
- A menu built around your guests
- Book food, drinks or both
- Menus for vegan, vegetarian, dairy-free and gluten-free guests

Stone Cross questions
Do you come out to small places like Stone Cross?
Yes, small places are no problem, given access. Tell us about lanes, gates, ground and parking.
Is Stone Cross close to London?
It is about 51 miles from central London, and inside the area we cover.
How soon do we need to book?
Early, particularly for summer Saturdays. Even if it is short notice, it’s worth asking.
Are plates and napkins included?
Ask us when you enquire. Tell us what your venue provides, and we will confirm what’s included with your quote.
Can guests build their own tacos?
We can. A build-your-own taco bar can be served from the truck or a serving station, with fillings, salsas, guacamole and toppings.
How is the food prepared?
We slow-cook fillings ahead, then finish them and keep them hot at your event. The tortillas are warmed on site, and the salsas and guacamole are made fresh.
Do you offer a bar with the truck?
The drinks bar comes with bar staff. We will talk through licensing first.
How long are you on site?
It depends on your event. Timings are agreed in advance so everything fits your schedule.
Planning for every diet
Dietary needs are easy to plan for with a little notice. Our advice:
- Measure gates and look for low branches on the way in
- Ask the venue about catering vehicles before you book
- Look into parking permissions if the truck cannot go off-road
- Let us know who is coeliac
When service ends, we pack away and drive off quietly.
Ask about a second service later in the evening.
