Planners, venues and businesses
Planners and coordinators can contact us directly, and we’ll keep you updated on timings and set-up.
Venues often have their own rules about outside caterers: where vehicles can park, access times and the paperwork they need. Tell us what your venue needs and we will work to it.
Why choose food truck hire in East Malling?
Food comes from the hatch hot, one order at a time, rather than waiting under foil.
We cater all kinds of occasions in East Malling and nearby. Some of the most common are:
- Family celebrations
- Staff appreciation days
- Weddings
- Leaving dos and retirements
Parks such as Ditton Quarry typically need permission for vehicles and catering, so a garden or hired venue is often simpler.

Planning for every diet
A Mexican menu is easy to plan for mixed diets, because options can be kept separate. Here are a few tips for planning:
- Ask the venue about catering vehicles before you book
- Count children separately
- Have shelter ready in case of rain
- Tell us when guests should eat
Running late? Tell us, and we’ll work around it.
Our Mexican drinks bar, with margaritas, Mexican beer and aguas frescas can join the truck.
What we need at the venue
Before the day, we’ll agree where we park and serve. A good spot ticks these boxes:
- Parking arrangements if we’re not on private land
- Arrangements for power and water, agreed when you book
- A place for guests to eat close to the hatch
If you’re unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think.
What happens on the day
We arrive in good time before service, then set up and prepare everything. When service opens, guests come up to the hatch or serving table. Planning a private evening event in East Malling? Sunset is around 8:50pm in late May and 9:20pm in late June. After that, festoon lights or lamps near the truck help guests order.
- Tell us the date, the location, rough numbers and any diets.
- You get a hatch menu and a quote for the hire.
- Where the truck or trailer will stand, the route in, and power and water are all agreed in advance.
- On the day we drive in, set up and serve to order from the hatch.
- When service ends, we pack up and leave the spot clear.
Before we arrive
- Check gates and access routes are wide and high enough
- Confirm numbers and diets before the day
- Have level hardstanding or firm ground ready

Your questions about food truck hire in East Malling
Can you bring your truck or trailer to Ditton Quarry?
Only with permission from whoever runs the park, often the council. Check with them, and we will provide what they ask for from us.
How far is East Malling from central London?
Roughly 27 miles from the centre of London, and we cover it.
Who clears up?
We pack down and tidy our own area after service. For anything beyond that, such as guests’ tables, ask us.
Do you cater for vegetarian guests?
Of course. Vegetarian and vegan fillings, such as spiced mushrooms or black beans, can be part of the menu.
Do you provide plates and napkins?
We confirm that with your quote. Tell us whether your venue has crockery or you’d prefer disposables and we will talk it through.
Is the food suitable for children?
Yes. Mild dishes, quesadillas and nachos can be part of the menu. Tell us how many children are coming.
What’s on the menu?
Every menu is agreed with you. Fillings might include slow-cooked pork carnitas, chicken tinga, beef birria and vegan options such as spiced mushrooms or black beans. See our menu for ideas.
How many guests can you serve?
Truck and trailer service normally suits around 50 to 400 guests. Festivals can be bigger, and smaller parties are quoted case by case. Send us your numbers and we’ll advise.
Is food truck hire right for your event?
Hiring a food truck is different from finding one at a festival. At a festival we trade to the public; a private hire means your guests, your menu and your timings. If you have a budget in mind, tell us, and we’ll suggest a menu that fits. A simple menu can still feel generous.
Why us?
- Options for vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and dairy-free guests
- Allergen information for everything we serve
- Fast service, even with a queue
- Food and drinks from one caterer, if you want both

DIY taco night versus a caterer
Running your own drinks table is one option, but someone still has to mix, pour and keep an eye on it all evening. See our margarita bar guide.
A DIY taco night works well for a small group. For larger numbers, mixed diets or a wedding, a caterer takes the pressure off, with allergen information for every dish.
- Served from our truck or trailer at your venue, garden or event
- Vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and dairy-free options, with allergen information
- Tacos and taco bars, burritos, bowls, nachos and quesadillas
- Mexican drinks bar: margaritas, Mexican beer and aguas frescas
