Food truck hire for your event in Chartham
The truck or trailer is a working kitchen on wheels, so your venue doesn’t need a kitchen. We need a level spot, safe access and the venue’s permission, with power and water confirmed per booking. We serve burrito bowls, tacos from the hatch and burritos, which works well for client hospitality and summer parties at home.
In a rural place like Chartham, access is the main thing to plan for a hired truck: the gate, the ground and the distance from the lane. We confirm power and water arrangements with you. Your quote sets out what’s included: menu, timings and any add-ons.
How the day works
Your timings come first. If things run behind, let us know and we will adjust where we can. Late-September events in Chartham see sunset at about 7:00pm, so a later service will need some lighting. In late May, daylight lasts until about 8:45pm.
- Share your plans for the event.
- Together we plan dishes that cover your guests’ diets.
- Power, water and timings are agreed with you or the venue.
- The truck serves at the agreed times.
- Once service ends, we tidy up and go.
Before we arrive
- Pick a flat, firm spot for us to park
- Get the venue’s permission for us to park and serve
- Ask the venue about power and water

Is food truck hire right for your event?
Booking several street food trucks means juggling several suppliers. One Mexican truck with a varied menu keeps things simple. There’s no one-size-fits-all price for food truck hire. A simple party menu and a full wedding day are very different jobs. Your quote sets it all out.
