Food truck hire in Cheriton, from our truck or trailer
Our drinks bar can be hired with the truck with margaritas, Mexican beer and aguas frescas, with licensing checked with you. We can add a taco-bar station next to the truck. At leaving dos and retirements and big birthdays, we’ll put together a menu of vegan tacos, burritos and burrito bowls.
Around Cheriton, a hired food truck can serve in a garden, a field or a hall car park. Narrow roads and soft ground are fine if we know about them. We arrive ready to serve, and clear our own area when service is finished.
The menu, item by item
Salsas and guacamole
Guests can add salsa and guacamole to taste.
Burritos
A burrito is a full meal in the hand.
DIY taco night versus a caterer
A DIY taco night works well for a small group. For larger numbers, mixed diets or a wedding, a caterer takes the pressure off, and handles allergen information for you.
Doing it yourself? Start with the quantities: our guide to how many tacos per person helps. Keep warmed tortillas covered, and label anything containing allergens.
Step by step
Service is quick and friendly: guests are served at the hatch or a serving station, so even a long queue moves. When service ends, we pack down. Evening events in Cheriton stay light until about 9:15pm at midsummer. After that, festoon lights or lamps near the truck help guests order.
- Send us your date, the address, a headcount and dietary needs.
- We check availability and send a menu and a quote for hiring the truck or trailer.
- We confirm the parking spot, access, power and water with you or the venue.
- Your guests order at the hatch and we serve hot food at the agreed times.
- When service ends, we pack up and leave the spot clear.
Before we arrive
- Plan a covered area for guests if rain is likely
- Check the venue is happy to have a truck or trailer on site
- Give us a contact for the day

For planners, venues and organisers
If you’re organising for someone else, such as a wedding planner, an office manager or a festival organiser, we’ll work directly with you and the venue. It keeps things simple.
Throwing a party at home? Send a picture of the space and tell us about access, and we’ll let you know if it is a good fit.
Catering for every guest
Nearly every event has some special diets. To plan for them:
- Measure gates and look for low branches on the way in
- Think about cover if the weather turns
- Check early that your venue allows food trucks
- Let us know who is coeliac
We arrive in the agreed window and park where we have arranged. It helps if someone can meet us on arrival.
Ask us about evening food later on, quoted with the main booking.

Questions from Cheriton
What’s the nearest station to Cheriton for guests?
Guests can use Folkestone West station, about 0.6 miles south-east of Cheriton.
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.
Do you cover Cheriton?
Yes, we do. We serve at events in Cheriton and across Kent. Send us your date to check availability.
What guest numbers do you cater for?
It depends on the event and how long service runs. Most bookings fall around 50 to 400 guests, so tell us your numbers.
Do you have dairy-free options?
We can. We offer dairy-free options, and we will tell you which dishes contain milk.
Can we have a build-your-own taco bar?
Yes. A build-your-own taco bar can be served from the truck or a serving station, with fillings, salsas and toppings to choose from. Read our taco bar guide.
Do you need power and water?
That depends on the set-up, and we agree power and water with you before the day. Tell us what’s available at your venue.
Do you clear up afterwards?
We clear our own area when service is finished. For anything beyond that, such as guests’ tables, ask us.
Hiring our taco truck near Cheriton

Hoping to hire a food truck for a gathering in Lower Leas Coastal Park? A catering vehicle in a public park typically needs the landowner’s permission. Close to Cheriton are historic houses such as Acrise Place (3.4 miles north) and Westenhanger Castle (4.8 miles west). If you are hiring a historic venue, check early whether it allows a catering vehicle on site. With the Kent Downs National Landscape within about 5 miles, a rural setting for your private or work event is within reach. Firm ground and a clear way in matter most for the truck or trailer. The coast is within about 2 miles of Cheriton, so a hired food truck at a seaside venue is an option. The truck or trailer needs firm ground rather than sand or shingle, and seafront spots normally need permission.

How it compares
A private hire is not the same as a festival stall. At a festival we trade to the public; a private hire means your guests, your menu and your timings. Access and travel can make a difference to the cost, so tell us about the venue when you ask for a quote. The full price is confirmed in your quote.
