Food truck hire near West Cross
How our food truck hire works in West Cross
Everyone orders at the hatch and gets food cooked to order. It keeps things easy and relaxed for guests and hosts. It suits leaving dos and retirements and family celebrations, serving burrito bowls, burritos and vegan tacos.
Somewhere as small as West Cross, food truck hire can mean a garden, a field or a barn. Lanes, gates and long drives are fine if we know about them. Soft ground after rain is worth mentioning too. Every guest is catered for, vegan, vegetarian, dairy-free and gluten-free included, with allergen information for everything we serve.

Space, access and the venue
Many gardens, fields and venues can take a truck or trailer, but there are a few things to check:
- Some space between the truck and nearby homes
- Firm, level ground or hardstanding where the truck or trailer can park
- Parking arrangements if we are not on private land
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and the access, and we will advise before you book.
Step by step
The truck or trailer needs a level, firm spot with access to drive in, and we agree power and water arrangements before the day. A photo of the space helps. A Christmas party in West Cross with a hired food truck will be in the dark from about 3:55pm, so choose a well-lit spot for the truck or trailer. In late June, it stays light until about 9:15pm.
- Send us your date, the address, a headcount and dietary needs.
- We check availability and send a menu and a quote for hiring the truck or trailer.
- Where the truck or trailer will stand, the route in, and power and water are all agreed in advance.
- Your guests order at the hatch and we serve hot food at the agreed times.
- After service, we close the hatch, pack down and drive away.
Getting ready for the day
- Pick a flat, firm spot for us to park
- Plan a covered area for guests if rain is likely
- Tell us when you want service to start

Your questions about food truck hire in West Cross
Do you cater in villages like West Cross?
Yes, small places are no problem, given access. Let us know about access and parking for the truck or trailer.
How far is West Cross from London?
It’s about 43 miles from central London, and inside the area we cover.
Do you provide drinks?

Are plates and napkins included?
We confirm that with your quote. Let us know what the venue supplies and we’ll talk it through.
Is private hire the same as trading at a festival?
Private hire means we serve only your guests, with a menu and timings you agree with us. At festivals and markets we trade to the public; see our street food catering page.
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’s a supply near where we’ll park.
How much does food truck hire cost in West Cross?
It depends on guest numbers, the menu, the length of service and the location. Contact us for a quote.
What space does the truck need?
Tell us where you’d like the truck, and we’ll check it works. There’s more in our space and power guide.
How we price food truck hire
The same guest numbers can mean different prices, because of:
- Adding food to drinks, or drinks to food
- The number of people
- The menu you choose
- Distance and access to the venue
Extra dishes, drinks and longer service are priced on request, so you can choose what you need.
What we need to know

- Where the event is
- A picture of where we’d park
- Expected numbers
- Your date and when you want service to start
Still deciding on the menu? No problem: give us the basics about your event, and we’ll make suggestions. To start, send a quick message through our quote form.
Planners, venues and businesses
For big numbers, we plan service to keep queues short, so guests are looked after quickly. Tell us how long you have for food and drinks.
Many venues have rules for outside caterers: vehicle access, arrival times and documents. Send us your venue’s requirements and we’ll follow them.
Catering for every guest
Dietary needs are easy to plan for with a little notice. We suggest:
- Ask the venue about catering vehicles before you book
- Ask guests about dietary needs when they reply
- Count children separately
- Ask about parking rules if we will be on a road
We can serve through rain, but guests will want a covered area to eat.
Margaritas, Mexican beer and aguas frescas from our drinks bar can be added to the booking.
DIY taco night versus a caterer
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.
Plenty of people try a DIY taco night at home. Common snags are cold tortillas, uneven quantities and the host missing the party. If you’d rather enjoy the party, let us serve.
