Food truck hire for Godinton events
How our food truck hire works in Godinton
Guests walk up to the hatch, order and take their food away hot. It keeps things easy and relaxed. On the menu are fresh salsas and guacamole, loaded nachos and burrito bowls, which works well for client hospitality and big birthdays.
In a smaller place like Godinton, hiring our food truck for a party at home is often the easiest option: no venue to book, and guests order straight from the hatch. Tell us about the lane and the drive. Food and drinks can be booked together or separately, so the food and drinks can come from one caterer.
The process
We get there well before you want to serve, set up the truck or trailer and get everything ready. When service opens, guests come up to the hatch or serving table. At midsummer, it stays light in Godinton until about 9:15pm, and by late September sunset is about 7:00pm. For winter events, dark by about 3:50pm, plan lighting where guests queue at the hatch.
- Share your plans for the event.
- We suggest fillings and dishes for every diet.
- We check power, water and timings with the venue.
- Service runs at the times you choose.
- Once service ends, we tidy up and go.
Before we arrive
- Have a marquee or gazebo ready in case of rain
- Tell us about narrow gates or low branches
- Let us know who to talk to on the day

Questions from Godinton
Can you bring your truck or trailer to Ashford Warren and Hoads Wood?
It depends on the park’s owner, who would need to agree to a catering vehicle on site. Ask them first; if they say yes, we’ll send what they need from us.
We’re having a ceremony at Church of St Mary: can you cater afterwards?
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.
Do you need power and water?
That depends on the set-up, and we agree power and water with you before the day. Tell us what’s available at your venue.
Which areas do you serve?
London and the South East: Greater London, Kent, Surrey, East and West Sussex, Hampshire, the Isle of Wight, Berkshire, Buckinghamshire, Milton Keynes and Oxfordshire.

How does food truck hire work?

What about vegan and gluten-free guests?
We plan vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and dairy-free options, and corn tortillas suit gluten-free guests. Every dish has allergen information.
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.
If you do it yourself, work out quantities first: see how many tacos per person. Keep warmed tortillas covered, and label anything containing allergens.
What’s on the menu
Quesadillas
Crisp tortillas folded round melted cheese, cut into wedges.
Loaded nachos
Nachos are good for sharing between friends.
Godinton: parking, access and venues
Godinton is about 1 mile north-west of Ashford, in Kent. Events in Godinton are planned around your venue and timings: a quote, a plan and friendly service on the day. Godinton is one of 922 towns and villages in Kent we cover. Our truck and trailer cover the area from Godinton to Canterbury (about 13 miles away).
Close to Godinton are historic houses such as Godinton House (0.8 miles north-west). If you’re hiring a historic venue, check early whether it allows a catering vehicle on site. Parks such as Ashford Warren and Hoads Wood generally need permission for vehicles and catering, so a garden or hired venue is often simpler. Godinton is within about 5 miles of the Kent Downs National Landscape, with country venues and gardens where a hired food truck could serve. Some venues in protected landscapes have rules on vehicles, so check with yours.

We also serve at events in Great Chart (1 mile south-west), Ashford (1 mile south-east), Potters Corner (1 mile north), Stanhope (1 mile south) and Bockhanger (2 miles north-east).

What food truck hire costs
These are the factors that matter most:
- Food, drinks or both
- The menu you choose
- What the venue already provides
- Guest numbers
The price depends on guest numbers, the menu and how long you’d like us to serve, plus any add-ons and the location. Every event gets its own quote.
Details that help
To speed things up, tell us:
- Whether you’d like food, drinks or both
- Approximate guest numbers, including children
- Your date and when you want service to start
- A picture of where we’d park
Getting a quote is simple: share your date, venue, numbers and diets. We will send you a clear quote.
Catering for every guest
Good planning keeps every guest safe and happy. Here’s how:
- Check parking and loading rules for street locations
- Add a dietary question to the invitation
- Check gate widths and any height limits
- Ask guests with severe allergies to speak to us beforehand
We arrive in the agreed window and park where we’ve arranged. Someone on site to meet us makes it smoother.
Add a build-your-own taco bar beside the truck.
Is food truck hire right for your event?
Hog roasts are popular with meat eaters, but a Mexican menu covers vegan, gluten-free and dairy-free guests more easily. Catering from a truck or trailer can be a practical alternative to a sit-down meal, as there’s no kitchen to hire. Ask us for a quote.
