Food truck hire near Barham
Food truck hire in Barham, served fresh
We serve when you want us to: a lunchtime window, an evening service or a longer slot through a party. Let us know your running order. For garden parties and wedding evening food, we will put together a menu of fresh salsas and guacamole, tacos from the hatch and burritos for your guests.
For a rural spot like Barham, food truck hire needs a little planning: gate widths, soft ground and the route from the road all matter. We confirm power and water arrangements with you. Food and drinks can be booked together or separately, so the food and drinks can come from one caterer.
Your questions about food truck hire in Barham
Which station is closest to Barham?
Snowdown station, about 2.4 miles east of the centre.
How far is Barham from central London?
It’s about 58 miles from central London, and inside the area we cover.
Do you have vegan options?
Of course. We can include vegetarian and vegan fillings like black beans or spiced mushrooms, served alongside the meat options.
How big an event can you cater?
Truck and trailer service generally suits around 50 to 400 guests. Festivals can be bigger, and smaller parties are quoted case by case. Tell us your numbers.
Are plates and napkins included?
Ask us when you enquire. Tell us what your venue provides, and we will set out plates, napkins and cutlery in your quote.
What about power on site?
That depends on the set-up, so we confirm power and water arrangements with each booking. Let us know whether there is a supply near where we’ll park.
Which areas do you serve?
We cover London and the South East, Kent included. Find your area.
Can we hire the truck for our wedding?
Wedding food from a truck feels relaxed and sociable. We agree access and timings with the venue.
Catering for every guest
A Mexican menu is easy to plan for mixed diets, because options can be kept separate. A few tips:
- Count children separately
- Walk the access route and note narrow gaps
- Collect diets and allergies with your RSVPs
- Have shelter ready in case of rain
When service ends, we pack away and drive off quietly.
Margaritas, Mexican beer and aguas frescas from our drinks bar can join the truck, with licensing checked with you.
DIY taco night versus a caterer
Plenty of people try a DIY taco night at home. 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’ll do the serving.
Doing it yourself saves money, but the host ends up in the kitchen. With a caterer, you get the food and drinks without the work.

Planning food truck hire around Barham
Barham is about 6 miles south-east of Canterbury, in Kent. From the centre of Barham to the outskirts, food truck hire works the same way: fresh service from our food truck or trailer, every diet planned for and a clear quote. Barham is one of 922 places in Kent where we can bring food truck hire. We cater right across the region, from Barham to Canterbury (6 miles away).
After a service at a church such as Church of St John the Baptist, a hired food truck at a garden, field or venue nearby can feed everyone. Close to Barham are historic houses such as Goodnestone Park (3.9 miles north-east) and Acrise Place (4.9 miles south). If you are hiring a historic venue, check early whether it allows a catering vehicle on site. With the Kent Downs National Landscape within about 5 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.
