Food truck hire for Eccles events
Food truck hire in Eccles, served fresh
Food truck hire means our food truck or trailer is booked for your guests only. It’s a private booking, not public trading, so we plan the menu and service times around you. At wedding receptions and leaving dos and retirements, we will put together a menu of fresh salsas and guacamole, loaded nachos and vegan tacos and more.
In a small place like Eccles, a hired food truck might park in a garden, paddock or field. Tell us about narrow lanes, gates and long drives. Soft ground after rain is worth mentioning too. Guests are served from our truck or trailer, or from a serving table nearby, and we plan service so the queue keeps moving.
Working with your venue
Organising a club, school or community event in Eccles? Service from a truck or trailer is quick, even for a crowd, and the menu can suit most diets. Give us the details and we’ll suggest a plan.
Throwing a party at home? Send a picture of the space and tell us about access, and we will let you know if it’s a good fit.
Catering for every guest
Allergies and diets are taken seriously. Here’s how you can help:
- Tell us when guests should eat
- Collect diets and allergies with your RSVPs
- Check early that your venue allows food trucks
- Confirm allergies with us in writing
Guests order at the hatch and their food is handed out hot.
Our Mexican drinks bar, with margaritas, Mexican beer and aguas frescas can join the truck.
Space, access and the venue
The route in matters as much as the spot itself. We need:
- A parking suspension, where a street spot is needed
- Space in front of the hatch for guests to queue
- A flat parking spot on firm ground or hardstanding
Not sure about your space? Send us a photo and we will tell you honestly.
Eccles questions
Can you cater a reception after a service at Church of St Peter and St Paul?
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. Tell us where the reception will be.
Can you bring a truck or trailer to venues 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.
How is private hire different from festival trading?
A private hire is booked and quoted for you, so we don’t serve passers-by. Organisers wanting us to trade at their event can see our festival page.
What does food truck hire cost?
Every event is quoted individually, so the price fits what you want. Tell us your date and numbers and we will reply with a quote.
Do you cater for dietary needs?
Diets are planned with you in advance, though we cannot guarantee there are no traces of any allergen. Guests with severe allergies should talk to us first.
What do you serve?
We agree a sample menu with each client. 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.
What access do you need?
A level, firm spot for the truck or trailer, with access wide and high enough to drive in, plus the venue’s permission. We confirm power and water with you for each booking.
Do you need power and water?
Let us know what’s available on site, for example a supply from the venue, and we’ll confirm the arrangements with your quote.
Step by step
We get there well before you want to serve, then set up and prepare everything. Guests come up to order when service opens. Planning a private evening event in Eccles? 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.
- We suggest a menu for the hatch and quote for it.
- We confirm the parking spot, access, power and water with you or the venue.
- On the day we drive in, set up and serve to order from the hatch.
- Once guests are fed, we clear our area and head off.
Before we arrive
- Name one person we can ask on the day
- Check gates and access routes are wide and high enough
- Have a marquee or gazebo ready in case of rain
Getting a price
Getting a quote is simple: tell us the date, place, numbers and any dietary needs. We’ll send you a clear quote.

Hiring a food truck in Eccles
Eccles is about 3 miles south-west of Chatham, in Kent. From the centre of Eccles to the outskirts, we offer the same service: a truck or trailer at your event, options for every diet and a clear price. Eccles is one of 922 towns and villages in Kent where we can bring food truck hire.
Central London is about 28 miles from Eccles, close enough for a London team’s away day. Nearby historic houses include Starkey Castle (3.2 miles north) and Restoration House (4.8 miles north). Historic houses and estates usually have firm rules on vehicles, so ask where a hired food truck could park before booking. With the Kent Downs National Landscape within about 8 miles, a rural setting for your private or work event is within reach. Firm ground and a clear way in matter most for the truck or trailer.
Anywhere in ME20, we can bring the truck or trailer to your guests, from busy streets to quiet lanes. From Bull Lane, Springett Close and Jenner Way or anywhere nearby, we can bring food truck hire there, given access. Close by, we cover events in Burham (1 mile north), Pratling Street (1 mile south-east), Forstal (1 mile south-east), New Hythe (1 mile south-west) and Scarborough (2 miles north). Further out, we also cater in Maidstone (4 miles south-east), Sittingbourne (11 miles east), Dartford (14 miles north-west), Sevenoaks (13 miles west), Gravesend (9 miles north-west) and Tonbridge (12 miles south-west).
A little further out are Fremlin Walk (3.5 miles south-east) and Allington Castle (2.2 miles south-east). Green spaces nearby include Burham Down and Blue Bell Hill.
- Schools near Eccles include Aylesford School (1.5 miles south-west)
- Nearby, you’ll find The Red Bull Public House (within half a mile north-east)
Events we cater in Eccles
The truck becomes the place guests gather.
If you are planning any of these, we can help:
- Back-garden parties
- Wedding evening food
- Company away days
- Launch events
Parks such as Burham Marsh typically need permission for vehicles and catering, so a garden or hired venue is often simpler.
Before you book anyone
- How bad weather is handled
- What the caterer needs from your venue
- Whether VAT is included
- Plates and napkins, or nothing at all
Comparing your options
Booking several street food trucks means juggling several suppliers. One Mexican truck with a varied menu keeps things simple. 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.
What you get with us
- Events in Eccles and across Kent
- A plan agreed before the day
- Fast service, even with a queue
- Quoted for your event

Can I do a taco night myself?
A DIY taco night works well for a small group. For big numbers or lots of diets, a caterer makes life easier, and handles allergen information for you.
