Common questions in Tonge Corner
Can we hire your food truck for a private party in Tonge Corner?
Yes, as long as we are available on the date and can get the truck or trailer in. Tell us about the lane, gates, ground and parking.
Is Tonge Corner close to London?
It is about 39 miles from central London, and inside the area we cover.
How is the food prepared?
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.
What space does the truck need?
Send us the address and a description of the spot, and we’ll check the access. Our guide to space and power has more.
What areas do you cover?
We cover London and the South East, Kent included. See all areas.
Do you provide plates and napkins?
Ask us when you enquire. Tell us what your venue provides, and we will confirm what’s included with your quote.
What happens if it rains?
Rain doesn’t usually stop service from the truck or trailer. Plan cover for guests, such as a marquee or gazebo, and let us know if the ground gets soft after heavy rain.
Do you provide allergen information for each dish?
We plan allergen-aware menus, including for nut allergies, and give allergen information for every dish. We keep options separate, but we can’t promise anything is completely allergen-free. If a guest has a severe allergy, please talk to us before the event.
Prices and what affects them
Two events with the same number of guests can cost different amounts, depending on:
- Timings and hours
- Adding food to drinks, or drinks to food
- How many guests we are serving
- Travel, parking and access
Catering from a truck or trailer can be a practical alternative to a sit-down meal, because it needs no venue kitchen. Contact us for a quote to compare.
What we need to know
The more we know about your event, the better we can plan. Please include:
- The date and time of the event
- Approximate guest numbers, including children
- Your menu ideas
- Vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free, dairy-free and allergy numbers
It is easy to get a price: tell us the date, place, numbers and any dietary needs. We will come back with a clear quote and a suggested menu.
The process
Serving is quick: we serve from the hatch or a serving station, so a crowd is looked after quickly. Afterwards we clear our area. At midsummer, it stays light in Tonge Corner until about 9:15pm, and by late September sunset is about 7:00pm. In December it is dark by about 3:50pm, so the queue by the hatch needs lighting.
- Ask us whether your date is available.
- You get a menu for the hatch and a quote.
- The spot and the way in are agreed in advance.
- We drive in, open the hatch and serve your guests.
- After service, we close up and leave the spot clear.
How to prepare
- Check gates and access routes are wide and high enough
- Choose a level, firm spot for the truck or trailer
- Tell us what power and water the site has
Ask for a quote

Planning help
Food truck hire or something else?
A hog roast suits meat eaters well, but a Mexican menu covers vegan, gluten-free and dairy-free guests more easily. Cost depends on guest numbers, the menu and the length of service, along with extras and where your event is. We quote for each event individually.

- Set-up planned with you and your venue
- Tacos, burritos and a drinks bar

Take a look at our prices page or our guide to catering costs.
Should I do it myself?
Some hosts like to do it themselves. The usual problems are cold tortillas, running out of a popular filling and a host stuck at the stove. If you’d rather be with your guests, we will do the serving.
DIY catering keeps costs down, but the host spends the party serving. With a caterer, you get the food and drinks without the work.
Why choose food truck hire in Tonge Corner?
Guests can come back to the hatch when they’re ready, rather than all at once.
If you are planning any of these, we can help:
- Christenings and family parties
- Big birthdays
- Wedding evening food
- Parties in venue grounds
Roughly 39 miles separate Tonge Corner from central London, close enough for a London team’s away day.
