Food truck hire for Alkham events
Food truck hire in Alkham, served fresh
Our food truck or trailer is available to hire for events across Alkham and nearby. At staff appreciation days and client hospitality, we can serve tacos from the hatch, burritos and quesadillas and more.
Near Alkham, a hired food truck in a field or garden suits private parties and work away days alike. Guests order at the hatch, so plan a sheltered spot for the queue in case of rain. Guests are served from our food truck or trailer, or from a serving table nearby, and we plan service so the queue keeps moving.
Who books food truck hire in Alkham?
Nothing is needed from a venue kitchen, so gardens, fields and grounds all become options.
If you are planning any of these, we can help:
- Garden parties
- Engagements and anniversaries
- Leaving parties
- Winter staff parties
Rail travellers will be glad to hear that the nearest station is Kearsney station, about 2.3 miles north-east.
Comparing caterers
- Plates and napkins, or nothing at all
- If the price includes VAT
- The wet-weather plan
- The caterer’s food hygiene rating
Can I do a taco night 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.
A DIY taco night works well for a small group. For big numbers or lots of diets, a caterer makes life easier, with allergen information for every dish.
Planners, venues and businesses
If you run the same event each year, tell us your dates early, so we can check the date.
If you are planning an event on someone’s behalf, whether you’re a planner, an office manager or an event organiser, we are happy to deal with you and the venue directly. It keeps things simple.
Catering for every guest
We cater for gluten-free, dairy-free, vegetarian and vegan guests. To get it right:
- Share your running order
- Give us separate numbers for children
- Ask guests with severe allergies to speak to us beforehand
- Ask the venue about catering vehicles before you book
At the end of service, we close the hatch and pack down.
Ask about a second service later in the evening, quoted with the main booking.
How the day works
We need a level, firm spot we can drive the truck or trailer onto, with power and water arrangements agreed beforehand. A picture of the space helps. By late September, it’s dark in Alkham at around 7:00pm, so a later service will need some lighting. In late May, daylight lasts until about 8:45pm.
- 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.
- We pack down and drive away when service ends.
Before we arrive
- Send us final numbers and dietary needs in good time
- Find out what power and water are available

Questions from Alkham
Will you travel to a small place like Alkham?
Yes, we cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Let us know about access and parking for the truck or trailer.
Do you hire out your food truck for parties in places like Alkham?
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 clear up afterwards?
We clear our own area when service is finished. Ask us if you’d like help with anything else.
What guest numbers do you cater for?
Truck and trailer service typically suits around 50 to 400 guests. Smaller parties are quoted case by case.
What does food truck hire cost?
It depends on guest numbers, the menu, the length of service and the location. Send us the details for a quote.
Do you need power and water?
That depends on the set-up, so we confirm power and water arrangements with each booking. Tell us what’s available at your venue.
When should we book?
As early as you can, especially for summer weekends. Even if it is short notice, it is worth asking.
What’s on the menu?
Mexican street food: tacos, taco bars, burritos, bowls, nachos and quesadillas, plus salsas, guacamole and toppings. We also run a Mexican drinks bar, with margaritas, Mexican beer and aguas frescas.
Space, access and the venue
We’ll agree the spot with you before the day. It needs to meet a few simple requirements:
- Space in front of the hatch for guests to queue
- Some space between the truck and nearby homes
- Somewhere for guests to sit or stand and eat
If you’re unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think before booking.
How it compares
Most guests have seen a burger van. A Mexican food truck offers something less expected while staying easy to eat. Got a budget? Let us know, and we’ll suggest a menu to match. A simple menu can still feel generous.

Alkham: parking, access and venues
Alkham is about 3 miles west of Dover, in Kent. For food truck hire in Alkham, we can park up at venues, fields, drives and courtyards in and around Alkham. We cater in 922 places in Kent, from the larger towns to small villages. Our nearest city page is Canterbury, about 12 miles away.
From central London, Alkham is about 62 miles away, which can suit a team day out of the city with a hired food truck. When the service is at a church such as Church of St Anthony the Martyr, the truck would serve at the reception venue rather than at the church. With the Kent Downs National Landscape within about 6 miles, a rural setting for your private or work event is within reach. Firm ground and a clear way in matter most for the truck or trailer. With the coast within about 5 miles of Alkham, wind is worth planning for. A sheltered, firm spot for the truck or trailer and the queue works best.
This part of Kent takes in CT15, so your event can be anywhere in it. From Alkham Valley Road, Hogbrook Hill Lane and Newlyn's Meadow or anywhere nearby, we can bring food truck hire there, given access. We also serve at events in South Alkham (1 mile south-west), Chalksole Green (1 mile north-west), Ewell Minnis (1 mile north), Wolverton (1 mile north-east) and Drellingore (1 mile south-west).
