About our food truck hire in Aylesford
The hatch menu is agreed with you: tacos, burritos, burrito bowls, loaded nachos or quesadillas, finished with salsas and guacamole. It suits summer parties at home and staff summer parties, with vegan tacos, fresh salsas and guacamole and tacos from the hatch.
In a smaller place like Aylesford, hiring our food truck for a party at home is often the easiest option: no venue hire, and guests order at the hatch. Tell us about the lane and the drive. We plan the timings around your day, whether that is speeches, a lunch break or a festival schedule.
Diets, allergies and planning
A Mexican menu is easy to plan for mixed diets, because options can be kept separate. A few tips:
- Think about cover if the weather turns
- Guests with serious allergies should contact us first
- Email us any allergies
- Ask the venue about catering vehicles before you book
Guests order at the hatch and their food is handed out hot.
Margaritas, Mexican beer and aguas frescas from our drinks bar can be added to the booking, with licensing checked with you.
Step by step
When we arrive, we park the truck or trailer in the agreed spot and set up. We are ready to serve at the agreed time, planned around your event. A Christmas party in Aylesford 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 9:20pm.

- You get a menu for the hatch and a quote.

Preparing for the day

FAQs for Aylesford
Can you bring a truck or trailer to venues in the Kent Downs National Landscape?
We do, where the venue allows a catering vehicle. Lanes can be narrow and ground soft, so tell us how we’d get in.
Can you cater a reception after a service at Aylesford Church?
Yes. The church itself isn’t where we’d set up, but a hall, field or garden close by with room for the truck or trailer can work well. Let us know the reception address and we will check the access.
What guest numbers do you cater for?
Truck and trailer service generally suits around 50 to 400 guests. Smaller gatherings are looked at case by case.
Do you cater for vegetarian guests?
Of course. Vegetarian and vegan fillings, such as spiced mushrooms or black beans, can be part of the menu, served alongside the meat options.
When should we book?
The sooner the better. Popular dates go first, so it pays to ask early.
Do you give allergen information?
Yes. Tell us about allergies when you book. UK law requires caterers to provide information on 14 allergens, and we do that for every dish (Food Standards Agency guidance). Anyone with a severe allergy should speak to us before the event.
Do you provide plates and napkins?
We confirm that with your quote. Tell us whether your venue has crockery or you’d prefer disposables.
What access do you need?
Level, firm ground or hardstanding for the truck or trailer, and a route in it can fit through, and the venue’s agreement. We confirm power and water with you for each booking.
