How our food truck hire works in Chainhurst
Guests walk up to the hatch, order and take their food away hot. It is simple, quick and sociable for guests and hosts. Popular choices include burrito bowls, quesadillas and fresh salsas and guacamole, and it suits client hospitality and leaving parties.
In a hamlet or village like Chainhurst, our truck or trailer can serve a private party or a team day in a field or garden. Guests order at the hatch, so plan a sheltered spot for the queue in case of rain. We prepare everything fresh for your event and serve it straight from our truck or trailer, so guests get it at its best.
Common questions in Chainhurst
Is Chainhurst close to London?
Roughly 32 miles from the centre of London, and well within our area.
Can we hire your food truck for a private party in Chainhurst?
Yes, depending on the date. For a private or work event in a village or hamlet, the main thing is access: tell us about the lane, the gate and the ground.
How much space do you need?
Access and level ground matter most: a firm spot for the truck or trailer, room for a queue and, for a taco bar, space for a serving table. If in doubt, send us a picture of the space and the way in.
Can you keep it mild?
The food can be kept mild, with hotter salsas on the side for anyone who wants more heat.
Do you have dairy-free options?
We can. We offer dairy-free options.
Is the food made fresh?
We slow-cook fillings ahead, then finish them and keep them hot at your event. The tortillas are warmed on site, and the salsas and guacamole are made fresh.
What happens if it rains?
We can keep serving from the truck or trailer in the rain, but guests need somewhere covered to eat and drink, like a marquee or gazebo.
Do you give allergen information?
We plan allergen-aware menus, including for nut allergies, 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.
Catering for every guest
Dietary needs are easy to plan for with a little notice. Our advice:
- Check early that your venue allows food trucks
- Ask guests about dietary needs when they reply
- Measure gates and look for low branches on the way in
- Tell us how many children are coming
Service starts when your timings say, and we cook each order as it comes.
Ask about a second service later in the evening.
Other catering in Chainhurst
For planners, venues and organisers
If you are organising for someone else, such as a wedding planner, an office manager or a festival organiser, we will work directly with you and the venue. It saves passing messages back and forth.
Many venues have rules for outside caterers: where vehicles can park, access times and the paperwork they need. Send us your venue’s requirements and we’ll follow them.
How the day works
Expect a friendly, organised team. We agree arrival and serving times in advance, set up our food truck or trailer, and get on with serving. By late September, it’s dark in Chainhurst at around 7:00pm, so evening service from the truck may run past dusk. In late May, daylight lasts until about 8:50pm.
- Share your plans for the event.
- We suggest fillings and dishes for every diet.
- We check power, water and timings with the venue.
- The truck serves at the agreed times.
- Once service ends, we tidy up and go.

Prices and what affects them
Every event is priced individually, based on a few main things:
- Food, drinks or both
- Whether you need disposables
- Travel, parking and access
- Your choice of food and drinks
The cost per head can fall as numbers rise, since the set-up is much the same either way. Give us your numbers and we’ll quote.
What we need to know
We can quote more accurately with a few details. Here’s what’s useful:
- Any dietary needs and allergies
- The venue or postcode
- Your date and when you want service to start
- Approximate guest numbers, including children
Still deciding on the menu? That’s fine: tell us about the occasion and the guests, and we’ll suggest a menu. To start, use our quote form.
What we need at the venue
No two venues are the same, so we will ask about yours before we confirm. Generally, we look for:
- Power and water, confirmed with each booking
- Seating or standing room near the truck
- A flat parking spot on firm ground or hardstanding
Not sure about your space? Send us a photo and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.

Should I do it myself?
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.
If you do it yourself, work out quantities first: our guide to how many tacos per person helps. Keep warmed tortillas covered, and label dishes for guests with allergies.
