Food truck hire near Borden
How our food truck hire works in Borden
As a guide, hiring the truck or trailer suits around 50 to 400 guests. Smaller parties are quoted case by case. It works well for weddings and staff appreciation days, serving burrito bowls, quesadillas and loaded nachos.
In a small place like Borden, a hired food truck might park in a garden, paddock or field. Tell us about narrow lanes, gates and long drives. Soft ground after rain is worth mentioning too. We plan the timings around your day, whether that is speeches, a lunch break or a festival schedule.

Planning the serving area
Access is the first thing to check for a truck or trailer. We need:
- Power and water, confirmed with each booking
- A parking suspension, where a street spot is needed
- The venue’s or landowner’s permission for a food truck
If you are unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think.
What happens on the day
The truck or trailer needs a level, firm spot with access to drive in, with power and water arrangements agreed beforehand. Send us a photo of the space if you are unsure. December events in Borden lose the light at about 3:50pm, so ask the venue about outdoor lighting where we’ll park. In late June, it stays light until about 9:15pm.

- The spot and the way in are agreed in advance.
- On the day, guests order at the hatch and we cook to order.

Planning help
Diets, allergies and planning
Every guest is catered for, vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and dairy-free included. To make it work smoothly:
- Check parking and loading rules for street locations
- Ask guests with severe allergies to speak to us beforehand
- Confirm the venue accepts outside caterers and vehicles
- Tell us when guests should eat
Allergen information is available at the hatch for every dish.
Loaded nachos to share while the first orders cook are a good way to begin.
Should I do it myself?
If you do it yourself, work out quantities first: our guide to how many tacos per person helps. Keep tortillas warm in a covered basket, and label anything containing allergens.
You can set up your own drinks table, but someone still has to mix, pour and keep an eye on it all evening. Our margarita bar guide has tips.
Common questions in Borden
Is Borden close to London?
About 36 miles from central London, and we cover it.
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.
How spicy is the food?
That is your choice: we can keep it mild and put the hotter salsas on the side.
Do you give allergen information?
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 cannot promise a dish is allergen-free. If a guest has a severe allergy, please talk to us before the event.
Can we have a build-your-own taco bar?
Yes. We can set up a build-your-own taco bar, served from the truck or a serving table, with fillings, salsas and toppings to choose from. Read our taco bar guide.
Do you provide drinks?
Yes, we offer a Mexican drinks bar, serving margaritas, Mexican beer, aguas frescas such as hibiscus and horchata, and soft drinks. Alcohol at an event may need a licence, such as a premises licence or a Temporary Event Notice, so we will check the licensing with you.
Can we add drinks?
Our Mexican drinks bar can be added to a truck booking, serving margaritas, Mexican beer, aguas frescas and soft drinks. We’ll talk licensing through with you.
What does it cost to hire the truck?
We don’t publish set prices, because each hire is different. Tell us your plans and we’ll quote for your event. Our food truck hire guide explains what affects the cost.
Prices and what affects them
Every event is priced individually, and the price depends on a few things:
- How long we’re needed on site
- Serving staff
- Guest numbers
- Food, drinks or both
Your choice of food and drinks affects the price, so tell us what you have in mind. We’ll suggest options to suit your budget.
