Near Caring, a hired food truck in a field or garden suits private parties and work away days alike. Guests queue at the hatch, so have some cover ready in case of rain. We turn up ready to serve, and tidy our own area afterwards.

Salsas and guacamole
Fresh salsas and guacamole, made for your event.

It’s a relaxed, well-organised set-up. Arrival and serving times are agreed beforehand, set up our food truck or trailer, and serve without fuss. December events in Caring lose the light at about 3:50pm, so choose a well-lit spot for the truck or trailer. At midsummer, sunset is around 9:15pm.

DIY taco night versus a caterer
Not sure whether to do it yourself or book a caterer? Consider your numbers, your guests’ diets and your own time. Contact us for a quote to compare.
For a small group, a taco night at home can work well. For big numbers or lots of diets, a caterer makes life easier, with allergen information for every dish.

Common questions in Caring
Do you cater 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 far is Caring from London?
About 34 miles from central London, and well within our area.
Do you provide drinks?
Yes. The drinks bar can be added to food or booked on its own, with alcohol-free options such as aguas frescas. For alcohol, we’ll check the licensing with you and your venue.
What about vegan and gluten-free guests?
There are gluten-free, dairy-free, vegetarian and vegan options, and corn tortillas suit gluten-free guests. Every dish has allergen information.
Is the food suitable for children?
Yes, children are welcome. Let us know numbers and ages, and we will suggest mild options.
What do you need at the venue?
Level, firm ground or hardstanding for the truck or trailer, and a route in it can fit through, plus the venue’s permission. We confirm power and water with you for each booking.
Do you need electricity?
It depends on the event and the set-up, so we confirm power and water arrangements with each booking. Tell us what’s available at your venue.
Do you have gluten-free options?
Yes, we offer gluten-free options, made with corn tortillas. Tell us about any coeliac guests before the event so we can explain how we prepare their food. See are corn tortillas gluten-free?
Prices and what affects them
These are the factors that matter most:
- The menu you choose
- Serving staff
- Whether you add a drinks bar or food
- The length of service
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.

We can quote more accurately with a few details. Here’s what’s useful:
- A picture of where we’d park
- Gate widths, slopes and the ground
- The date and rough timings
- Approximate guest numbers, including children
