Food truck hire in Acol, served fresh
The hatch menu is agreed with you: tacos and burritos, with bowls, nachos or quesadillas if you like, finished with salsas and guacamole. It works well for staff summer parties and wedding receptions, with tacos from the hatch, quesadillas and vegan tacos.
In a small place like Acol, a hired food truck might park in a garden, paddock or field. Lanes, gates and long drives are fine if we know about them. Firm ground matters, especially after rain. Everything is prepared fresh for your event and served from our truck or trailer.
Food truck hire or something else?
Most guests have seen a burger van. Tacos and burritos from a truck feel different while staying easy to eat. Extras, such as more dishes, extra drinks or a longer service, are quoted on request, so you can choose what you need.
Why us?
- Service planned around your numbers
- Quoted for your event
- Food and drinks from one caterer, if you want both
- Every guest catered for, vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and dairy-free included

Space, access and the venue
Many gardens, fields and venues can take a truck or trailer, but a few things matter:
- Gate widths, overhead branches and soft ground checked in advance
- Power and water details confirmed in advance
- Firm, level ground or hardstanding where the truck or trailer can park
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and the access, and we’ll advise before booking.
Popular choices
Burritos
Burritos suit hungry guests and travel well from the hatch.

We cater in 922 places across Kent, wherever the truck or trailer can get in. Our truck and trailer cover the area from Acol to Canterbury (about 11 miles away).

How it works
Here’s how the day usually runs: we arrive and set up, we open the hatch when you’re ready, and your guests are served fresh for the agreed time. At midsummer, it stays light in Acol until about 9:15pm, while late September brings sunset forward to around 7:00pm. For winter events, dark by about 3:50pm, plan lighting where guests queue at the hatch.
- Check our availability for your date.
- You get a menu for the hatch and a quote.
- The spot and the way in are agreed in advance.
- On the day, guests order at the hatch and we cook to order.

Other catering in Acol
Can I do a taco night myself?
Doing it yourself saves money, but the host ends up in the kitchen. With a caterer, you get the food and drinks without the work.
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.

Acol: your questions answered
How far is Acol from London?
It is about 61 miles from central London, and inside the area we cover.
Do you hire out your food truck for parties in places like Acol?
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.
Do you cater for vegetarian guests?
Yes, and we plan them in from the start. Tell us your numbers when you ask for a quote.
Is the food very hot?
We can keep it mild, and hotter salsas go on the side for guests who like heat.
How is private hire different from festival trading?
When you hire us, the booking is yours, so we don’t serve passers-by. Event organisers should see street food for festivals.
How big an event can you cater?
Truck and trailer service normally suits around 50 to 400 guests. Festivals can be bigger, and smaller parties are quoted case by case. Tell us your numbers.
Is the food made fresh?
We cook to order in our truck or trailer kitchen, or serve from a taco bar. Fillings are slow-cooked beforehand and finished on site.
What does food truck hire cost?
We quote for each event, so the price fits what you want. Tell us your date and numbers for a clear quote.
