Food truck hire in Fordwich, from our truck or trailer
Food truck hire suits weddings, milestone birthdays and staff events, and any gathering where guests want hot food without a sit-down meal. It suits engagements and anniversaries and client hospitality, serving tacos from the hatch, burritos and loaded nachos.
For a rural spot like Fordwich, food truck hire needs a little planning: 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. We serve from the hatch of our food truck or trailer, or from a serving station, and we plan service so the queue keeps moving.

Fordwich: your questions answered
Is it possible to have you in Chequer's Wood and Old Park?
Only with permission from whoever runs the park, often the council. Check with them, and we’ll provide what they ask for from us.
We’re having a ceremony at Church of St Mary the Virgin: can you cater afterwards?
Yes, at a garden, field or venue nearby where the truck or trailer can park. Service would be at the reception venue, not the church. Tell us where the reception will be.
How does food truck hire work?
Our truck or trailer comes to your venue and serves your guests from the hatch. It is a private booking for your guests only.
Do you sell to the public at private events?
At a private hire, we serve your guests and nobody else, on a menu and timings agreed with you. At festivals and markets we trade to the public.
Can guests build their own tacos?
We can. We can set up a build-your-own taco bar, served from the truck or a serving table, with fillings, salsas, guacamole and toppings.
Do you cover Fordwich?
Yes. We cater across London and the South East, including Fordwich and the rest of Kent. For a quote, send us your details through our quote form.
What about power on site?
Let us know what’s available on site, for example a supply from the venue, and we will confirm what we need with your quote.
Is the food made fresh?
Food is cooked to order in our truck or trailer, or served from a build-your-own taco bar. Slow-cooked fillings are prepared in advance and kept hot on site.
What we need at the venue
Before the day, we’ll agree where we park and serve. A good spot ticks these boxes:
- Room for guests to gather at the hatch
- Power and water details confirmed in advance
- Somewhere for guests to sit or stand and eat
If you are unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think.
How it compares
A private hire is not the same as a festival stall. At a festival we trade to the public; a private hire means your guests, your menu and your timings. Your choice of food and drinks affects the price, so share your ideas with us. We’ll suggest options to suit your budget.

See our pricing and our guide to catering costs.
Should I do it myself?
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.
DIY catering keeps costs down, but the host spends the party serving. Booking a caterer means you can relax with everyone else.
How the day works
When we arrive, we position the truck or trailer and get the serving area ready. We are ready to serve at the agreed time, so everything runs to your schedule.

- We suggest fillings and dishes for every diet.
