About our food truck hire in Crockenhill
Food truck hire suits weddings, milestone birthdays and staff events, and any gathering where guests want hot food without a sit-down meal. At parties in venue grounds and engagements and anniversaries, we can serve quesadillas, fresh salsas and guacamole and burritos and more.
In a small place like Crockenhill, a hired food truck might park in a garden, paddock or field. Lanes, gates and long drives are fine if we know about them. Firm ground matters, especially after rain. Everything is prepared fresh for your event and served from our truck or trailer, so guests get it at its best.
Food truck hire or something else?
Most guests have seen a burger van. Tacos and burritos from a truck feel different. There’s no one-size-fits-all price for food truck hire. A short lunch service for a team is a different job from a full wedding day. Your quote sets it all out.
What you get with us
- Access, space and power checked in advance

Working with your venue
Events in public spaces, like parks, normally need permission. We can send what the landowner or council needs from us.
If you’re planning an event on someone’s behalf, such as a wedding planner, an office manager or a festival organiser, we’re happy to deal with you and the venue directly. It saves passing messages back and forth.
Diets, allergies and planning
We take diets and allergies seriously. Help us by following these steps:
- Check early that your venue allows food trucks
- Check gate widths and any height limits
- Let us know who is coeliac
- Guests with serious allergies should contact us first
Running late? Tell us.
Nachos for sharing at the start are a good way to begin.
Can I do a taco night myself?
Not sure whether to do it yourself or book a caterer? Think about numbers, diets and how much you want to enjoy the day. Ask us for a quote and compare.
Plenty of people try a DIY taco night at home. Common snags are cold tortillas, uneven quantities and the host missing the party. If you’d rather enjoy the party, let us serve.
How the day works
Serving is quick: we serve from the hatch or a serving station, so a crowd is looked after quickly. Afterwards we clear our area. At midsummer, it stays light in Crockenhill until about 9:20pm, while late September brings sunset forward to around 7:05pm. For winter events, dark by about 3:55pm, plan lighting where guests queue at the hatch.
- Tell us what the event is and who’s coming.
- 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.
How to prepare
- Tell us what power and water the site has
- Tell us about narrow gates or low branches
- Choose a level, firm spot for the truck or trailer

Crockenhill questions
Is Crockenhill close to London?
It’s about 14 miles from central London, and inside the area we cover.
Can you bring a truck or trailer to venues 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.

That depends on your timings and the event. As a guide, it is around 50 to 400 guests, so tell us your numbers.

Yes. Tell us about allergies when you book. Under UK rules, caterers must give information on 14 allergens, and we do that for every dish (Food Standards Agency guidance). Anyone with a severe allergy should speak to us before the event.
When should we book?
The sooner the better. Peak dates go quickly, so get in touch early.
