Food truck hire in Farthingloe, from our truck or trailer
We serve when you want us to: a set lunch hour, an evening slot or a few hours through a party. Let us know your running order and we will plan around it. Popular choices include tacos from the hatch, quesadillas and vegan tacos, and it suits retirement parties and garden parties.
In a rural place like Farthingloe, access is the main thing to plan for a hired truck: gate widths, soft ground and the route from the road all matter. Power and water may be limited, so we confirm the arrangements before the day. Guests are served from our food truck or trailer, or from a serving table nearby, and we plan the service around your numbers.
Diets, allergies and planning
A Mexican menu is easy to plan for mixed diets, because guests can choose what suits them. A few tips:
- Count children separately
- Agree service times with us
- Tell us about coeliac guests
- Plan a covered area for guests to eat
Guests come to the hatch, order and wait a short moment for hot food.
Ask us about napkins, plates and cutlery and we’ll confirm what’s possible.
For event organisers in Farthingloe

FAQs for Farthingloe
Do you hire out your food truck for parties in places like Farthingloe?
Yes, as long as we are available on the date and can get the truck or trailer in. Let us know about access and where we’d park.
Can you cater a reception after a service at Aycliffe Church Centre?
Yes. The church itself is not where we’d set up, but a hall, field or garden close by with room for the truck or trailer can work well. Let us know the reception address and we will check the access.
How big an event can you cater?
That depends on the menu and the service time, but around 50 to 400 guests is the usual range. Tell us your numbers and we’ll advise.
Do you do margaritas?
Yes, we run a Mexican drinks bar, serving margaritas, Mexican beer, aguas frescas such as hibiscus and horchata, and soft drinks. Alcohol at an event may need a licence, such as a premises licence or a Temporary Event Notice, so we’ll check the licensing with you.
Do you have gluten-free options?
We can, using corn tortillas. Corn tortillas are naturally gluten-free, but some fillings, sauces and toppings may not be, so we check every dish and give allergen information.
How is the food prepared?
We slow-cook fillings ahead, then finish them and keep them hot at your event. Tortillas are warmed on site, and salsas and guacamole are made fresh.
Do you cater in Farthingloe?
Yes, we do. We serve at events in Farthingloe and across Kent. Send us your date to check availability.
What about vegan and gluten-free guests?
Diets are planned with you in advance, but we can’t promise an allergen-free kitchen. Guests with severe allergies should talk to us first.

Food truck hire or something else?
A marquee kitchen with plated service needs more space, more staff and more time. Our truck or trailer brings the kitchen and serves from one hatch, needing level ground, access and the venue’s permission. A food truck can be a practical alternative to plated catering, as there’s no kitchen to hire. Contact us for a quote to compare.

How it works
Service is quick and friendly: guests are served at the hatch or a serving station, so even a long queue moves. Afterwards we clear our area. A hired food truck at a summer event in Farthingloe can serve in daylight until about 9:15pm at midsummer, 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.
- First come the basics: date, location, numbers and diets.
- You get a hatch menu and a quote for the hire.
- Before the day, we agree the spot, the way in, power and water.
- We arrive, open the hatch and cook to order for your guests.
- Once guests are fed, we clear our area and head off.
How to prepare
- Tell us when you want service to start
- Plan a covered area for guests if rain is likely
- Get the venue’s permission for us to park and serve
