Catering for every guest
Nearly every event has some special diets. To cater well for them:
- Measure gates and look for low branches on the way in
- Add a dietary question to the invitation
- Check parking and loading rules for street locations
- Check early that your venue allows food trucks
At the end of service, we close the hatch and pack down and drive off quietly.
Nachos for sharing at the start are a good way to begin.
Food truck hire for your event in Dean Street
As a guide, hiring the truck or trailer suits around 50 to 400 guests. Smaller gatherings are looked at case by case. At private outdoor parties and leaving parties, we will put together a menu of burritos, tacos from the hatch and fresh salsas and guacamole.
In a hamlet or village like Dean Street, our truck or trailer can serve a private party or a team day in a field or garden. Guests order at the hatch, so plan a sheltered spot for the queue in case of rain. We cater for gluten-free, dairy-free, vegetarian and vegan guests, with allergen information for everything we serve.
Questions from Dean Street
Do you come to events 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.
Is Dean Street close to London?
It’s about 31 miles from central London, and inside the area we cover.
How much does food truck hire cost?
We do not publish set prices, because each hire is different. Send your details and you’ll get a quote. Our food truck hire guide explains what affects the cost.
What space does the truck need?
Send us the address and a description of the spot, and we’ll check it works. There is more in our space and power guide.
When do you arrive?
We get there well before service to set up. Serving times are agreed with you in advance, along with pack-down.
What if the weather’s bad?
Rain does not typically stop service from the truck or trailer. It’s worth planning a covered area for guests, and tell us if heavy rain could make the ground soft.
What guest numbers do you cater for?
Truck and trailer service usually suits around 50 to 400 guests. Smaller gatherings are looked at case by case.
Do you do food truck hire for weddings?
We can serve from the truck for the wedding meal, the evening or both. Timings are agreed with you and your venue. See our food truck wedding guide.
Before you choose a spot
Every venue is different, so we will ask about yours before we confirm. Generally, we look for:
- A parking suspension, where a street spot is needed
- A spot away from neighbours
- Power and water, confirmed with each booking
If you are unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think.

DIY taco night versus a caterer
Doing it yourself saves money, but the host ends up in the kitchen. With a caterer, you get the food and drinks without the work.
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.
Organising for someone else?
Planning an event for a club, school or charity in Dean Street? A truck or trailer serves a crowd quickly, with options for most diets. Give us the details and we’ll suggest a plan.
If you’re organising for someone else, whether you are a planner, an office manager or an event organiser, we’re happy to deal with you and the venue directly. It keeps things simple.
The menu, item by item
Tacos from the hatch
A taco is ideal food from a truck, and corn tortillas suit gluten-free guests.
Burritos
A burrito is a full meal in the hand and travel well from the hatch.
How it works
The truck or trailer tends to draw a crowd, so we will help you choose a spot with room for a queue. Rain does not normally stop us serving, though guests will want somewhere covered to stand or sit. At midsummer, it stays light in Dean Street until about 9:15pm, while late September brings sunset forward to around 7:00pm. In December it’s dark by about 3:50pm, so the queue by the hatch needs lighting.
- Share your plans for the event.
- Together we plan dishes that cover your guests’ diets.
- We check power, water and timings with the venue.
- The truck serves at the agreed times.
- Once service ends, we tidy up and go.
Getting ready for the day
- Find out what power and water are available
- Let us know the timings for the day
- Have a marquee or gazebo ready in case of rain
How to get a price
Each quote is tailored to your event. Give us your date and numbers, and we’ll confirm whether we’re available that day.
