About our food truck hire in Hackington
A hired food truck works for weddings, birthdays and staff days, and any gathering where guests want hot food without a sit-down meal. On the menu are quesadillas, burrito bowls and tacos from the hatch, and it’s a good fit for engagements and anniversaries and private outdoor parties.
For a rural spot like Hackington, 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. Timings are planned around your event, whether that is speeches, a lunch break or a festival schedule.
Dietary needs and planning tips
Most events have a mix of diets. To plan for them:
- Ask about parking rules if we will be on a road
- Ask the venue about catering vehicles before booking
- Tell us about coeliac guests
- Measure gates and look for low branches on the way in
If your timings move, let us know and we will adjust service.
A taco-bar station can sit next to the truck.
Your questions about food truck hire in Hackington
How far is Hackington from central London?
About 52 miles from central London.
Can you serve near the sea around Hackington?
We can, given firm ground and the landowner’s permission. Beaches and promenades normally need the council’s agreement, so check that first.
Is the food very hot?
The food can be kept mild, and hotter salsas go on the side for guests who like heat.
When should we book?
The sooner the better. Peak dates go quickly, so it pays to ask early.
Do you need power and water?
It depends on the event and the set-up, and we agree power and water with you before the day. Tell us what’s available at your venue.
Do you give allergen information?
Yes, and it helps to hear about allergies when you book. UK law requires caterers to provide information on 14 allergens, and we give it for every dish (Food Standards Agency guidance). For severe allergies, please talk to us first.
Do you come to Hackington?
We do. Hackington is one of the places we cover. Send us your date to check availability.
Can you come to a private house?
Yes, if the truck or trailer can get in and park on level, firm ground. Send us a picture of the access and the space, and we’ll tell you honestly whether it works.
Occasions we cater for in Hackington
You do not need a kitchen, which opens up gardens, fields and car parks with the venue’s agreement.
We cater all kinds of occasions in Hackington and nearby. Popular bookings include:
- End-of-year celebrations
- Parties in venue grounds
- Launch events
- Family reunions
When the service is at a church such as Church of St Cosmus and St Damian, the truck would serve at the reception venue rather than at the church.

Plenty of people try a DIY taco night at home. Common snags are cold tortillas, uneven quantities and the host missing the party. If you’d rather enjoy the party, let us serve.
