Food truck hire in Baker's Cross, from our food truck or trailer
Everyone orders at the hatch and gets food cooked to order. It is simple, quick and sociable for guests and hosts. It suits leaving parties and end-of-year celebrations, serving tacos from the hatch, burrito bowls and quesadillas.
In a hamlet or village like Baker's Cross, our truck or trailer can serve a private party or a team day in a field or garden. Guests queue at the hatch, so have some cover ready in case of rain. Every guest is catered for, vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and dairy-free included, with allergen information for everything we serve.
Hiring a food truck in Baker's Cross
Baker's Cross is about 9 miles south-east of Paddock Wood, in Kent. Whether your event is in the middle of Baker's Cross or on the outskirts, we offer the same service: fresh service from our food truck or trailer, every diet planned for and a clear quote. We cover 922 places across Kent, from the larger towns to small villages. Our nearest city page is Maidstone, about 12 miles away.
When the service is at a church such as Church of St Dunstan, the truck would serve at the reception venue rather than at the church. Central London is about 39 miles from Baker's Cross, close enough for a London team’s away day. With the High Weald National Landscape within about a mile, 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.
This part of Kent takes in TN17 and TN18. Local streets include Dorothy Avenue, Brickenden Road and Doctor Hope's Road; for an event at home on any of them, tell us where the truck or trailer can park.

What we need at the venue
No two venues are the same, so we ask about the space before we confirm. Generally, we look for:
- Room for guests to gather at the hatch
- Agreement from the venue to bring in a catering vehicle
- A flat parking spot on firm ground or hardstanding
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and the access, and we will advise before booking.
What food truck hire costs
Pricing is straightforward once we know the basics:
- Whether you add a drinks bar or food
- How long we are needed on site
- How many staff you need
- The number of people
Pricing depends on the event. A short lunch service for a team is a different job from a full wedding day. Contact us for a quote.
Getting an accurate quote
You do not need every detail fixed to get a quote, but these help:
- What power and water the site has
- Diets and allergies you know about
- The venue or postcode
- The date and time of the event
Every event is quoted individually, based on what you need. For a quote, send a quick message through our quote form.
Catering for every guest
A little planning makes sure everyone can eat. Here’s how:
- Send allergy details in writing
- Check parking and loading rules for street locations
- Let us know who is coeliac
- Give us separate numbers for children
Guests order at the hatch and their food is handed out hot.
Quesadillas make an easy option for children, if you’d like a kids’ choice.
The process
Guests tend to gather around the truck, so we will help you choose a spot with room for a queue. We can serve in the rain, but guests will need somewhere covered. At midsummer, it stays light in Baker's Cross until about 9:15pm, and by late September sunset is about 7:00pm. In December it is dark by about 3:55pm, so the queue by the hatch needs lighting.
- First come the basics: date, location, numbers and diets.
- We suggest a menu for the hatch and quote for it.
- We confirm the parking spot, access, power and water with you or the venue.
- We arrive, open the hatch and cook to order for your guests.
- Once guests are fed, we clear our area and head off.
Before we arrive
- Name one person we can ask on the day
- Choose a level, firm spot for the truck or trailer
- Give us your final numbers and diets
Getting a price
Getting a quote is simple: tell us the date, place, numbers and any dietary needs. We will send you a clear quote.

About the menu
Burritos
A burrito is a full meal in the hand and travel well from the hatch.
Salsas and guacamole
Salsas and guacamole finish every order.
DIY taco night versus a caterer
If you do it yourself, work out quantities first: our guide to how many tacos per person helps. Keep warmed tortillas covered, and label dishes for guests with allergies.
A DIY taco night works well for a small group. For larger numbers, mixed diets or a wedding, a caterer takes the pressure off, and handles allergen information for you.
Questions from Baker's Cross
Do you come to events in the High Weald 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 we hire your food truck for a private party in Baker's Cross?
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?
Of course. We can keep dishes mild, and simple options such as quesadillas or nachos can be part of the menu. Tell us how many children are coming.
How does private food truck hire work?
Our food truck or trailer comes to your venue and serves your guests from the hatch. Only your guests are served.
How soon do we need to book?
The sooner the better. Peak dates go quickly, so it pays to ask early.
Do you have dairy-free options?
Yes, we can. Let us know your dairy-free numbers, and we’ll plan the menu around them.
Where do you cater?
We cover London and the South East, including Kent. See all areas.
Do you have gluten-free options?
Yes, with corn tortillas. Corn tortillas are naturally gluten-free, but some fillings, sauces and toppings may not be, so we plan gluten-free dishes carefully and give allergen information.
