About our food truck hire in Ditton
Truck and trailer service normally suits around 50 to 400 guests. Smaller gatherings are looked at case by case. At leaving parties and milestone birthdays, we can serve loaded nachos, burrito bowls and quesadillas and more.
For a place the size of Ditton, food truck hire at your own home is often simplest: no venue to book, and guests order straight from the hatch. Tell us about the lane and the drive. We arrive ready to serve, and clear our own area when service is finished.
Food truck hire in Ditton: local tips
Ditton is about 4 miles north-west of Maidstone, in Kent. Anywhere in ME20, we can bring the truck or trailer to you. Ditton is one of 922 towns and villages in Kent we cover.
When the service is at a church such as St Peter's Church, the truck would serve at the reception venue rather than at the church. Historic houses near Ditton include Starkey Castle (4.8 miles north). Listed venues often control where vehicles go, so raise food truck hire at your first visit.

Prices and what affects them
Each event is quoted on its own, and the price depends on a few things:
- What the venue already provides
- Staff for serving and the bar
- Travel, parking and access
- Guest numbers
When you compare quotes, check what each one includes: serving hours, staff, disposables, travel and VAT. Contact us for a quote and we’ll set out what’s included.
Getting an accurate quote
Here’s what makes a quick, accurate quote possible:
- Any dietary needs and allergies
- How we drive in and where we can park
- A picture of the space, if it’s a garden or field

DIY taco night versus a caterer
DIY catering keeps costs down, but the host spends the party serving. With a caterer, you get the food and drinks without the work.
Doing it yourself? Start with the quantities: our guide to how many tacos per person helps. Keep warmed tortillas covered, and label dishes for guests with allergies.

Ditton questions
We are having a ceremony at St Peter's Church: can you cater afterwards?
Yes, at a nearby garden, marquee or hall with access for the truck or trailer. Service would be at the reception venue, not the church. Send us the reception address.
Which station is closest to Ditton?
Guests can use Aylesford station, about 0.6 miles north-east of Ditton.
How much space do you need?
Level, firm ground or hardstanding for the truck or trailer, and a route in it can fit through, plus the venue’s permission. We confirm power and water with you for each booking.
Can guests build their own tacos?
Yes, a taco bar is one of the ways we serve. Tell us about your space and numbers and we’ll suggest the best set-up.
When should we book?
As soon as you have a date. Peak dates go quickly, so it pays to ask early.
Is the food made fresh?
We cook to order in our truck or trailer kitchen, or serve from a taco bar. Fillings are slow-cooked beforehand and finished on site.
Can you keep it mild?
It is up to you: we can keep the main dishes mild, with hotter salsas served separately.
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.
Is food truck hire right for your event?
For food that becomes part of the event, hiring a Mexican food truck is worth considering in Ditton. There’s no one-size-fits-all price for food truck hire. A simple party menu and a full wedding day are very different jobs. Your quote sets it all out.
