How our food truck hire works in Whitewood
Fillings might include carnitas, al pastor-style pork or chicken tinga, alongside a vegan option such as spiced mushroom. We plan for gluten-free, dairy-free, vegetarian and vegan guests. On the menu are fresh salsas and guacamole, loaded nachos and burritos, and it suits garden parties and client hospitality.
In a rural place like Whitewood, access is the main thing to plan for a hired truck: the gate, the ground and the distance from the lane. Power and water may be limited, so we confirm the arrangements before the day. You will know what’s included before booking: menu, timings and any add-ons.
Whitewood: your questions answered
Can you cater a reception after a service at Church of St Mary the Virgin?
Yes, at a nearby garden, marquee or hall with access for the truck or trailer. We’d serve at the reception venue rather than at the church itself. Tell us where the reception will be.
What’s the nearest station to Whitewood for guests?
The closest is Godstone station, roughly 2.2 miles away.
How much is a food truck for an event?
We quote for each event, based on what you actually need. Give us your date, numbers and menu ideas for a clear quote.
Do you do food truck hire for weddings?
A food truck suits a relaxed wedding well, especially in the evening. We agree access and timings with the venue.
Is the truck suitable for a large group?
Hiring the truck or trailer normally suits around 50 to 400 guests. Smaller parties are quoted case by case.
Do you give allergen information?
We plan allergen-aware menus, including for nut allergies, with allergen information for every dish. We plan carefully and keep options separate, though we cannot promise a dish is allergen-free. If a guest has a severe allergy, please talk to us before the event.
Who clears up?
We pack down and leave our area tidy. Let us know the venue’s rules on waste and we will talk it through.
Can guests build their own tacos?
Yes. We can set up a build-your-own taco bar, served from the truck or a serving table, with fillings, salsas and toppings to choose from. Read our taco bar guide.
Can I do a taco night myself?
If you do it yourself, work out quantities first: see how many tacos per person. Keep tortillas warm in a covered basket, and label dishes for guests with allergies.
Some hosts like to do it themselves. Common snags are cold tortillas, uneven quantities and the host missing the party. If you’d rather enjoy the party, let us serve.
Comparing your options
A private hire is not the same as a festival stall. At public events, anyone can buy; a private hire means your guests, your menu and your timings. There is no one-size-fits-all price for food truck hire. A simple party menu and a full wedding day are very different jobs. Your quote sets it all out.
What you get with us
- A clear quote
- Options for gluten-free, dairy-free, vegetarian and vegan guests
