What affects the price in Appledore
The price comes down to a few factors:
- Parking and the route in
- Guest numbers
- How many staff you need
- Whether you add a drinks bar or food
If you have a budget in mind, tell us, and we’ll suggest a menu that fits. Even a simple menu can feel generous.
Details that help
When you get in touch, it helps to tell us:
- Diets and allergies you know about
- Approximate guest numbers, including children
- What you’d like on the menu
- The address or venue name
It is easy to get a price: share your date, venue, numbers and diets. We will come back with a clear quote.
Food truck hire for your event in Appledore
Fillings might include carnitas, al pastor-style pork or chicken tinga, alongside a vegan option such as spiced mushroom. There are options for gluten-free, dairy-free, vegetarian and vegan guests. For staff summer parties and back-garden parties, we can serve burritos, fresh salsas and guacamole and vegan tacos and more.
Somewhere as small as Appledore, food truck hire can mean a garden, a field or a barn. Tell us about narrow lanes, gates and long drives. Firm ground matters, especially after rain. Everything is prepared fresh for your event and served from our truck or trailer.
Should I do it myself?
Not sure whether to do it yourself or book a caterer? Think about numbers, diets and how much you want to enjoy the day. Contact us for a quote to compare.
Running your own drinks table is one option, but someone has to serve all evening. Our margarita bar guide has tips.
Before you choose a spot
If a space is not suitable, we will tell you. What matters most:
- A place for guests to eat close to the hatch
- Firm, level ground or hardstanding where the truck or trailer can park
- A parking suspension, where a street spot is needed
If you are unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think.
Planning for every diet
A Mexican menu is easy to plan for mixed diets, because guests can choose what suits them. Here are a few tips for planning:
- Ask the venue about catering vehicles before you book
- Count children separately
- Let us know who is coeliac
- Tell us when guests should eat
Running late? Tell us and we’ll adjust service.
Our Mexican drinks bar, with margaritas, Mexican beer and aguas frescas can join the truck.
Why choose food truck hire in Appledore?
A DIY barbecue keeps a host at the grill. With a hired truck, we do the cooking. Cost depends on guest numbers, the menu and the length of service, along with extras and where your event is. Every event gets its own quote.

Appledore: parking, access and venues
Appledore is about 8 miles south-west of Ashford, in Kent. Events in Appledore are planned around your venue and timings: a quote, a plan and friendly service on the day. We cater in all 922 towns and villages across Kent, from the larger towns to small villages, wherever the truck or trailer can get in. Our nearest city page is Maidstone, about 20 miles away.
When the service is at a church such as Church of St Peter and St Paul, the truck would serve at the reception venue rather than at the church. For guests coming by train, Appledore (Kent) station is about 1.3 miles away. With the sea within about 6 miles, a hired food truck at a seaside venue is an option. The truck or trailer needs firm ground rather than sand or shingle, and seafront spots normally need permission.
We cover events in every part of the TN26 postcode area. From The Street, Old Way and Court Lodge Road or anywhere nearby, we will plan where to park and serve. For events just outside Appledore, we cover Appledore Heath (1 mile north), Stone in Oxney (1 mile south-west), Reading Street (2 miles west), Stone Corner (3 miles west) and Brattle (3 miles north). Larger places within reach include Ashford (8 miles north-east), Hythe (13 miles east), Tenterden (5 miles north-west), Kennington (10 miles north-east), New Romney (7 miles south-east) and Staplehurst (14 miles north-west).

Your questions about food truck hire in Appledore
Is Appledore close to London?
About 50 miles from central London, and we cover it.
Could we book your food truck for a private event in Appledore?
Yes, depending on the date. For a private or work event in a village or hamlet, the main thing is access: tell us about the lane, the gate and the ground.
Is the food suitable for children?
Yes, children are welcome. Tell us how many and roughly how old, and we’ll suggest mild options.
Can you keep it mild?
The food can be kept mild, with hotter salsas on the side for anyone who wants more heat.
Do you have dairy-free options?
Yes, on request. Let us know your dairy-free numbers, and we will plan the menu around them.
How long are you on site?
We arrive in good time to set up before service. The length of service is agreed when you book, along with pack-down.
Where can the truck park?
Level, firm ground or hardstanding, access wide and high enough to drive in, and the venue’s permission. Power and water are confirmed with each booking.
Do you cater for coeliacs?
Yes, with corn tortillas. Corn tortillas are naturally gluten-free, but some fillings, sauces and toppings may not be, so we check every dish and give allergen information.
The process
When we arrive, we position the truck or trailer and get the serving area ready. We’re ready to serve at the agreed time, planned around your event. A Christmas party in Appledore with a hired food truck will be in the dark from about 3:50pm, so ask the venue about outdoor lighting where we’ll park. In late June, it stays light until about 9:15pm.
- Tell us what the event is and who’s coming.
- Together we plan dishes that cover your guests’ diets.
- Power, water and timings are agreed with you or the venue.
- The truck serves at the agreed times.
- When everyone is fed, we clear our area.
How to prepare
- Name one person we can ask on the day
- Tell us what power and water the site has
- Arrange somewhere covered for guests to eat
