How our food truck hire works in Benover
You choose the hatch menu with us: tacos, burritos, burrito bowls, loaded nachos or quesadillas, with fresh salsas and guacamole. It suits staff summer parties and wedding receptions, serving tacos from the hatch, vegan tacos and burritos.
For a rural spot like Benover, 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. We prepare everything fresh for your event and serve it straight from our truck or trailer.
Benover: your questions answered
Which station should guests use for Benover?
Guests can use Yalding station, about 1.3 miles north-west of Benover.
Can you cater a reception after a service at St Peter's and St Paul's 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’ll check the access.
Do you do a taco bar?
We can. We can set up a build-your-own taco bar, served from the truck or a serving table, with fillings, salsas, guacamole and toppings.
Do you cook on site?
We slow-cook fillings ahead, then finish them and keep them hot at your event. Tortillas are warmed on site, and salsas and guacamole are made fresh.
Can you plan for allergies?
Our menus are planned with allergies in mind, nut allergies included, and give allergen information for every dish. We plan carefully and keep options separate, though we can’t promise a dish is allergen-free. If a guest has a severe allergy, please talk to us before the event.
Do you cater for dietary needs?
We plan vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and dairy-free options, with corn tortillas for gluten-free guests. Every dish has allergen information.
How spicy is the food?
That is your choice: we can keep the main dishes mild, with hotter salsas served separately.
Where can the truck park?
Send us the address and a description of the spot, and we will check it works. There is more in our space and power guide.

Catering for every guest
Mixed diets are straightforward to plan for, because guests can choose what suits them. Here are a few tips for planning:
- Send allergy details in writing
- Think about cover if the weather turns
- Give us separate numbers for children
- Tell us about coeliac guests
Allergen information is available at the hatch for every dish, so guests can ask before ordering.
Nachos for sharing at the start.
Comparing your options
A marquee kitchen with plated service needs more space, more staff and more time. A food truck arrives as a kitchen and serves from the hatch. Got a budget? Let us know, and we’ll suggest a menu to match. A simple menu can still feel generous.

How the day works
We work to your timings. If things run behind, let us know and we will adjust where we can. A Christmas party in Benover 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.
- Share your plans for the event.
- We suggest fillings and dishes for every diet.
- Power, water and timings are agreed with you or the venue.
- Service runs at the times you choose.
- Once service ends, we tidy up and go.
Getting ready for the day
- Name one person we can ask on the day
- Pick a flat, firm spot for us to park
- Let us know the timings for the day
Ask for a quote
Getting a quote is simple: tell us the date, place, numbers and any dietary needs. We will come back with a clear quote and a suggested menu.

Before you choose a spot
No two venues are the same, so we’ll ask about yours before we confirm. In general, we need:
- Parking arrangements if we are not on private land
- Distance from houses and windows
- Gate widths, overhead branches and soft ground checked in advance
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and the access, and we’ll advise.
