About our food truck hire in Crouch
Food truck hire means our truck or trailer is booked for your guests only. Unlike a stall at a festival or market, it’s a private hire, so we plan the menu and service times around you. On the menu are burritos, fresh salsas and guacamole and vegan tacos, and it suits launch events and private outdoor parties.
Somewhere as small as Crouch, food truck hire can mean a garden, a field or a barn. Tell us about narrow lanes, gates and long drives. Soft ground after rain is worth mentioning too. We’ll check the space, access and power with you before the day, so there are no surprises on arrival.
DIY taco night or a caterer?
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.
A DIY taco night is possible for a crowd, but it’s more work than it looks. There are fillings to slow-cook, tortillas to keep warm and salsas to make. Read our guide to taco bars.
Hiring our taco truck near Crouch
Crouch is about 6 miles east of Sevenoaks, in Kent. For food truck hire in Crouch, we plan around your venue and timings: a clear quote, agreed timings and fresh service on the day. Crouch is one of 922 towns and villages in Kent we cover. Our truck and trailer cover the area from Crouch to Maidstone (about 9 miles away).

The process
The truck or trailer tends to draw a crowd, so we plan a spot with space for people to queue. Rain doesn’t usually stop us serving, but guests will need somewhere covered. At midsummer, it stays light in Crouch until about 9:20pm, while late September brings sunset forward to around 7:00pm. In December it’s dark by about 3:55pm, so the queue by the hatch needs lighting.
- Tell us the date, the location, rough numbers and any diets.
- 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.
- After service, we close the hatch, pack down and drive away.
Preparing for the day
- Measure any gates or arches on the way in
- Send us final numbers and dietary needs in good time

Planning the serving area
We serve from a truck or trailer, so the spot needs a little planning. These are the things we check:
- Parking arrangements if we are not on private land
- Somewhere for guests to sit or stand and eat
- A flat parking spot on firm ground or hardstanding
If you’re unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think before booking.
Crouch: your questions answered
How far is Crouch from central London?
Roughly 23 miles from the centre of London, and we cover it.
We are having a ceremony at Church of St Mary: can you cater afterwards?
Yes, at a garden, field or venue nearby where the truck or trailer can park. Service would be at the reception venue, not the church. Tell us where the reception will be.
Do you have gluten-free options?
Yes, we offer gluten-free options, made with corn tortillas. Let us know about coeliac guests in advance so we can explain how we prepare their food. See are corn tortillas gluten-free?
Do you give allergen information?
Yes, and it helps to hear 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.
What areas do you cover?
We cover London and the South East, including Kent. See all areas.
Can we add drinks?
We bring bar staff with the drinks bar. We will talk through licensing first.
Can guests build their own tacos?
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.
Do you do margaritas?
Yes, we offer a Mexican drinks bar, with margaritas, Mexican beer, aguas frescas and soft drinks. Alcohol at an event may need a licence, such as a premises licence or a Temporary Event Notice, so we will talk licensing through with you.
Organising for someone else?
Events in public spaces, like parks, typically need permission. We will provide the information the landowner or council asks for from us.
Planners and coordinators can contact us directly, and we will keep everyone informed on the day.
Planning for every diet
With a little notice, most diets are easy. We suggest:
- Confirm allergies with us in writing
- Confirm the venue accepts outside caterers and vehicles
- Tell us how many children are coming
- Tell us about coeliac guests
Guests order at the hatch and their food is handed out hot.
Ask us about evening food later on.
