Common questions in Chilmington Green
Is it possible to have you in Ashford Community Woodland?
Only if the landowner, often the council, allows it. Check with them, and we will provide what they ask for from us.
What’s the nearest station to Chilmington Green for guests?
Ashford International station, about 2.3 miles east of the centre.
How is the food prepared?
Fillings are slow-cooked in advance, then finished and kept hot on site. The tortillas are warmed on site, and the salsas and guacamole are made fresh.
Can we have a build-your-own taco bar?
We can. We can set up a build-your-own taco bar, served from the truck or a serving table, with fillings, salsas and toppings to choose from. Read our taco bar guide.
Do you provide drinks?
Yes, we do. Our drinks bar can be booked on its own or with food, with alcohol-free options such as aguas frescas. For alcohol, we will talk licensing through with you and your venue.
How much is food truck hire?
We don’t publish set prices, because each hire is different. Tell us your plans and we’ll quote for your event. Our food truck hire guide explains what affects the cost.
What food and drinks do you offer?
Every menu is agreed with you. Fillings might include slow-cooked pork carnitas, chicken tinga, beef birria and vegan options such as spiced mushrooms or black beans. See our menu for ideas.
How long do you serve for?
We get there well before service to set up. The length of service is agreed when you book.
How our food truck hire works in Chilmington Green
Fillings might include carnitas, al pastor-style pork or chicken tinga, with vegan choices like black bean and sweet potato. We plan for vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and dairy-free guests, and corn tortillas suit gluten-free diets. On the menu are tacos from the hatch, burritos and quesadillas, and it is a good fit for end-of-year parties and parties in venue grounds.
In a small place like Chilmington Green, a hired food truck might park in a garden, paddock or field. Lanes, gates and long drives are fine if we know about them. Soft ground after rain is worth mentioning too. Food and drinks can be booked together or separately, so one caterer can cover more of the day.
Can I do a taco night myself?
You can host your own taco night for a crowd, but it takes planning. There are fillings to slow-cook, tortillas to keep warm and salsas to make. Read our guide to taco bars.
Doing it yourself? Start with the quantities: see how many tacos per person. Keep warmed tortillas covered, and label dishes for guests with allergies.

How it works
We arrive in good time before service, then set up and prepare everything. When service opens, guests come up to the hatch or serving table. By late September, it is dark in Chilmington Green at around 7:00pm, so a later service will need some lighting. In late May, daylight lasts until about 8:45pm.
- Tell us what the event is and who’s coming.
- Together we plan dishes that cover your guests’ diets.
- Power, water and timings are agreed with you or the venue.
- Service runs at the times you choose.
- Once service ends, we tidy up and go.
How to prepare
- Confirm the venue allows outside caterers
- Pick a flat, firm spot for us to park
- Tell us about narrow gates or low branches
How to get a price
