Food truck hire in Stone
Food truck hire in Stone, served fresh
Food truck hire means our food truck or trailer is booked for your guests only. Unlike a stall at a festival or market, it’s a private hire, so we plan the menu and service times around you. Popular choices include fresh salsas and guacamole, burrito bowls and burritos, and it’s a good fit for company away days and retirement parties.
In a smaller place like Stone, hiring our food truck for a party at home is often the easiest option: no venue hire, and guests order at the hatch. Tell us about the lane and the drive. We arrive ready to serve, and clear our own area when service is finished.
Why choose food truck hire in Stone?
Every order is cooked and served hot, rather than waiting under foil.
Here are some of the events we cater in Stone and Kent:

FAQs for Stone
Can you cater a reception after a service at Church of St Mary?
Yes. The church itself isn’t 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.
What’s the nearest station to Stone for guests?
Guests can use Stone Crossing station, about 0.5 miles north-west of Stone.
Do you need electricity?
It depends on the event and the set-up, so we confirm power and water arrangements with each booking. Let us know whether there is a supply near where we’ll park.
When do you arrive?
It depends on your event. Timings are agreed in advance to suit your day.
Can you cater in a back garden?
Yes, as long as there is access and a level, firm spot. Send us a picture of the access and the space.
Is food truck hire good for weddings?
We can serve from the truck for the wedding meal, the evening or both. We fit service around your running order. Read more in having a food truck at a wedding.
How many guests can the truck serve?
Hiring the truck or trailer generally suits around 50 to 400 guests. Smaller gatherings are looked at case by case.
What if the weather’s bad?
We can serve from the hatch in the rain. Plan cover for guests, such as a marquee or gazebo, and let us know if the ground gets soft after heavy rain.
Should I do it myself?
You can set up your own drinks table, but someone has to serve all evening. See our margarita bar guide.
For a small group, a taco night at home can work well. For big numbers or lots of diets, a caterer makes life easier, with allergen information for every dish.
What we need at the venue
We’ll agree the spot with you before the day. A good spot ticks these boxes:
- Any parking or loading permission needed for street locations
- Seating or standing room near the truck
- Space in front of the hatch for guests to queue
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and the access, and we’ll advise before booking.
