How our food truck hire works in Chattenden
You could pick fillings such as chicken tinga, carnitas or beef birria, alongside a vegan option such as spiced mushroom. We plan for vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and dairy-free guests. Popular choices include vegan tacos, quesadillas and tacos from the hatch, which works well for end-of-year celebrations and private parties in fields and grounds.
For a rural spot like Chattenden, food truck hire needs a little planning: the gate, the ground and the distance from the lane. Power and water may be limited, so we confirm the arrangements before the day. We turn up ready to serve, and tidy our own area afterwards.
Is food truck hire right for your event?
Plated catering needs a kitchen tent, waiting staff and set courses. Our truck or trailer brings the kitchen and serves from one hatch. Extra dishes, drinks and longer service are priced on request, so you can choose what you need.
Why book with us
- Food and drinks from one caterer, if you want both
- Events in Chattenden and across Medway
- Access, space and power checked in advance
- Served fresh from our truck or trailer
Can I do a taco night myself?
For a small group, a taco night at home can work well. For larger numbers, mixed diets or a wedding, a caterer takes the pressure off, with allergen information for every dish.

Planners, venues and businesses
Venues often have their own rules about outside caterers: where vehicles can park, access times and the paperwork they need. Tell us what your venue needs and we will work to it.
If your event is in a public space, such as a park, check what permission you need first. We can send what the landowner or council needs from us.
