Common questions in Bilting
Do you come to events 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.
We are having a ceremony at Church of St Lawrence: can you cater afterwards?
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.
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.
How spicy is the food?
The food can be kept mild, and hotter salsas go on the side for guests who like heat.
Do you have vegan options?
Yes, and we plan them in from the start. Tell us your numbers when you ask for a quote, and we will keep their options separate.
What space does the truck need?
A firm, level spot, a way in that fits the vehicle, and the venue’s agreement. Power and water are confirmed with each booking.
Can you cater for special diets?
Diets are planned with you in advance, though we can’t guarantee there are no traces of any allergen. Guests with severe allergies should talk to us first.
How many guests can you serve?
It depends on the menu and how long service runs, but our truck and trailer service generally suits around 50 to 400 guests. For anything outside that, ask us.
Is food truck hire right for your event?
Burger and pizza vans are familiar. A Mexican food truck offers something less expected while staying easy to eat. Access and travel can make a difference to the cost, so tell us about the venue when you ask for a quote. Your quote confirms the full price.

DIY taco night or a caterer?
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.
You can host your own taco night for a crowd, but it takes planning. Fillings need slow cooking, tortillas need warming as you go, and salsas need making. Read our guide to taco bars.
