Food truck hire in Hamstreet, served fresh
We cook inside our truck or trailer, so there is no need for kitchen space at the venue. What we do need is level ground, a way in and the venue’s agreement, with power and water confirmed per booking. It works well for end-of-year celebrations and anniversary celebrations, with vegan tacos, quesadillas and tacos from the hatch.
In a small place like Hamstreet, 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. Food and drinks can be booked together or separately, so the food and drinks can come from one caterer.

What happens on the day
Here’s how the day normally runs: we park up and get ready, we open the hatch when you’re ready, and your guests are served fresh until service ends. At midsummer, it stays light in Hamstreet until about 9:15pm, while late September brings sunset forward to around 7:00pm. In December it is dark by about 3:50pm, so the queue by the hatch needs lighting.

Do you bring plates and cutlery?
We confirm that with your quote. Let us know what the venue supplies.
Do you give allergen information?

Comparing your options
Booking several street food trucks means juggling several suppliers. One Mexican truck with a varied menu keeps things simple. Pricing depends on the event. A short lunch service for a team is a different job from a full wedding day. Contact us for a quote.

Why choose food truck hire in Hamstreet?
You don’t need a kitchen, which opens up gardens, fields and car parks.
A truck or trailer works for big and small events alike. Common bookings include:
- Summer parties at home
- Wedding evening food
- Engagements and anniversaries
- Family reunions
When the service is at a church such as Church of the Good Shepherd, the truck would serve at the reception venue rather than at the church.

Should I do it myself?
If you do it yourself, work out quantities first: our guide to how many tacos per person helps. Keep tortillas warm in a covered basket, and label anything containing allergens.
Not sure whether to do it yourself or book a caterer? Think about numbers, diets and how much you want to enjoy the day. Ask us for a quote and compare.
