About our food truck hire in Ashbank
Food truck hire means our food truck or trailer is booked for your guests only. Unlike a stall at a festival or market, it’s a private hire, so the menu and timings are set around your event. On the menu are burritos, tacos from the hatch and loaded nachos, and it suits engagements and anniversaries and leaving parties.
In a small place like Ashbank, a hired food truck might park in a garden, paddock or field. Tell us about narrow lanes, gates and long drives. Firm ground matters, especially after rain. Every guest is catered for, gluten-free, dairy-free, vegetarian and vegan included, with allergen information for everything we serve.
Planning the serving area
Before the day, we’ll agree where we park and serve. A good spot ticks these boxes:
- A clear area for a queue at the hatch
- Enough width and height on the route in
- Level, solid ground for the vehicle

Hiring a food truck in Ashbank

Close to Ashbank are historic houses such as Leeds Castle (0.6 miles east) and Stoneacre (1.7 miles west). Historic houses and estates generally have firm rules on vehicles, so ask where a hired food truck could park before you book. When the service is at a church such as St Nicholas's Church, the truck would serve at the reception venue rather than at the church. Ashbank is within about 2 miles of the Kent Downs National Landscape, with country venues and gardens where a hired food truck could serve. Some venues in protected landscapes have rules on vehicles, so check with yours.

Your questions about food truck hire in Ashbank
Will you travel to a small place like Ashbank?
Yes. Villages and hamlets are part of our area, and the main thing is access: tell us about the lane, the gate and the ground.
Could we book your food truck for a private event in Ashbank?
Yes, subject to the date and access for the truck or trailer. Let us know about access and where we’d park.
What do you need at the venue?
A level, firm spot for the truck or trailer, with access wide and high enough to drive in, plus the venue’s permission. We confirm power and water with you for each booking.
How big an event can you cater?
It depends on the menu and how long service runs, but our truck and trailer service usually suits around 50 to 400 guests. For anything outside that, ask us.
Do you provide drinks?
Yes. Our drinks bar can be booked on its own or with food. For alcohol, we’ll talk licensing through with you and your venue.
Can we add drinks?
You can add our drinks bar, with margaritas, Mexican beer and aguas frescas. We will go through the licensing with you.
What happens if it rains?
Rain does not normally stop service from the truck or trailer. Plan cover for guests, such as a marquee or gazebo, and let us know if the ground gets soft after heavy rain.
Which areas do you serve?
We cover London and the South East, including Kent. Find your area.
Should I do it myself?
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, and handles allergen information for you.
Doing it yourself? Start with the quantities: our guide to how many tacos per person helps. Keep warmed tortillas covered, and label anything containing allergens.
