Food truck hire in Doddington, served fresh
Food truck hire suits weddings, milestone birthdays and staff events. It suits weddings and winter staff parties, with burrito bowls, loaded nachos and tacos from the hatch.
Somewhere as small as Doddington, food truck hire can mean a garden, a field or a barn. Lanes, gates and long drives are fine if we know about them. Soft ground after rain is worth mentioning too. We cater for vegan, vegetarian, dairy-free and gluten-free guests, and we give allergen information for every dish.

The closest is Teynham station, roughly 4 miles away.
Can we hire your food truck for a private party in Doddington?
Yes, as long as we are available on the date and can get the truck or trailer in. Tell us about the lane, gates, ground and parking.

How does private food truck hire work?
Our food truck or trailer comes to your venue and serves your guests from the hatch. It is a private booking for your guests only.
How much space do you need?
Access and level ground matter most: a level spot to park, space for guests to queue and a little room for a serving table. Send us a picture and tell us about gates, slopes and soft ground.
How far ahead should we book?
The sooner the better. Popular dates go first, so contact us early.

How we price food truck hire
Every event is priced individually, based on a few main things:
- The number of people
- What’s on the menu
- Whether you add a drinks bar or food
- How long we are needed on site
Larger events can cost less per head, because the set-up is similar for different sizes of event. Tell us your numbers for an accurate price.

How it works
A typical event goes like this: we park up and get ready, service opens at the agreed time, and your guests are served fresh until service ends. Evening events in Doddington stay light until about 9:15pm at midsummer. Once it is dark, some lighting near the hatch makes ordering easier.
- Ask us whether your date is available.
- We agree a hatch menu and send a quote.
- The spot and the way in are agreed in advance.
- We drive in, open the hatch and serve your guests.
- We pack down and drive away when service ends.
Before we arrive
- Tell us what power and water the site has
- Share the running order, including any speeches
- Confirm the venue allows outside caterers

DIY taco night versus a caterer
Some hosts like to do it themselves. The usual problems are cold tortillas, running out of a popular filling and a host stuck at the stove. If you’d rather enjoy the party, let us serve.
You can host your own taco night for a crowd, but it takes planning. Fillings need slow cooking, tortillas need warming as you go, and salsas need making. Our taco bar guide explains how.
Dietary needs and planning tips
Good planning keeps every guest safe and happy. Here’s how:
- Guests with serious allergies should contact us first
- Ask the venue about catering vehicles before booking
- Confirm allergies with us in writing
- Tell us when guests should eat
Running late? Tell us, and we’ll work around it.
