About our food truck hire in Sundridge
When you hire our food truck, it serves your guests and nobody else. It is a private booking, not public trading, so the menu and timings are set around your event. On the menu are vegan tacos, loaded nachos and fresh salsas and guacamole, and it suits weddings and christenings and family parties.
In a rural place like Sundridge, access is the main thing to plan for a hired truck: gate widths, soft ground and the route from the road all matter. Power and water may be limited, so we confirm the arrangements before the day. We turn up ready to serve, and tidy our own area afterwards.
Occasions we cater for in Sundridge
The truck is yours for the booking, so there are no public queues and the menu is set for your guests.
In Sundridge and nearby, we can cater all sorts of events. Popular bookings include:
- Client hospitality
- Garden parties
- Engagement parties
- Winter staff parties
When the service is at a church such as Church of St Mary, the truck would serve at the reception venue rather than at the church.
Questions to ask before booking
- Plates and napkins, or nothing at all
- The wet-weather plan
- The deadline for final numbers
- Travel and parking costs
Planning the serving area
We serve from a truck or trailer, so the spot needs a little planning. These are the things we check:
- Any parking or loading permission needed for street locations
- Distance from houses and windows
- Agreement from the venue to bring in a catering vehicle

How it works
Serving is quick: guests are served at the hatch or a serving station, so a crowd is looked after quickly. Afterwards we clear our area. Late-September events in Sundridge see sunset at about 7:05pm, so evening service from the truck may run past dusk. In late May, daylight lasts until about 8:50pm.
- Share your plans for the event.
- Together we plan dishes that cover your guests’ diets.
- We check power, water and timings with the venue.
- The truck serves at the agreed times.
- Once service ends, we tidy up and go.
Getting ready for the day

Sundridge: your questions answered
Do you come to events in the Kent Downs 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.
Is it possible to have you in Montreal Park?
Only with permission from whoever runs the park, often the council. Check with them, and we’ll provide what they ask for from us.
What food and drinks do you offer?
We agree a sample menu with each client. Fillings could include chicken tinga, pork carnitas, al pastor-style pork and vegan options like black beans. See our menu for ideas.
Is the food made fresh?
Food is cooked to order in our truck or trailer, or served from a build-your-own taco bar. Slow-cooked fillings are prepared in advance and kept hot on site.
Can we hire a bar too?
We bring bar staff with the drinks bar. Alcohol needs the right licence, which we will check with you.
Is the food very hot?
It is up to you: we can keep it mild and put the hotter salsas on the side. Read more about how spicy Mexican food is.
Who clears up?
Our area is packed away and left tidy. Tell us the venue’s rules on waste and clearing up and we’ll confirm the arrangements with your quote.
Do you have gluten-free options?
Yes, gluten-free options are available, using corn tortillas. Tell us about any coeliac guests before the event so we can talk through how their food is prepared.
