Food truck hire for your event in Hawkhurst
We bring the truck or trailer to private and work events in and around Hawkhurst: gardens, venue grounds, car parks and business parks. We serve quesadillas, tacos from the hatch and burrito bowls, which works well for private outdoor parties and big birthdays.
For a place the size of Hawkhurst, food truck hire at your own home is often simplest: no venue hire, and guests order at the hatch. Tell us about the lane and the drive. We cater for vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and dairy-free guests, and we give allergen information for every dish.

FAQs for Hawkhurst
Do you cater in the High Weald National Landscape?
We do, where the venue allows a catering vehicle. Lanes can be narrow and ground soft, so tell us how we’d get in.
Is it possible to have you in Collingwood Nature Reserve?
Only if the landowner, often the council, allows it. Ask them first, and we will help with the information they need from us.
How far ahead should we book?
As soon as you have a date. Popular dates go first, so contact us early.
Do you cater in Hawkhurst?
Yes. We cover London and the South East, including Hawkhurst and the rest of Kent. For a quote, use our quote form.
Do you give allergen information?
Yes. Tell us about allergies when you book. UK law requires caterers to provide information on 14 allergens, and we do that for every dish (Food Standards Agency guidance). Anyone with a severe allergy should speak to us before the event.
Where can the truck park?
A firm, level spot, a way in that fits the vehicle, and the venue’s agreement. Power and water are confirmed with each booking.
When do you arrive?
We get there well before service to set up. Serving times are agreed with you in advance, along with pack-down.
Do you offer a bar with the truck?
You can add our drinks bar, serving margaritas, Mexican beer, aguas frescas and soft drinks. Licensing is checked with you.
Step by step
Serving is quick: we serve from the hatch or a serving station, so a crowd is looked after quickly. Afterwards we clear our area. December events in Hawkhurst lose the light at about 3:55pm, so ask the venue about outdoor lighting where we will park. In late June, it stays light until about 9:15pm.
- First come the basics: date, location, numbers and diets.
- We suggest a menu for the hatch and quote for it.
- Where the truck or trailer will stand, the route in, and power and water are all agreed in advance.
- On the day we drive in, set up and serve to order from the hatch.
- Once guests are fed, we clear our area and head off.
Preparing for the day
- Have level hardstanding or firm ground ready
- Confirm the venue allows outside caterers
- Name one person we can ask on the day

Diets, allergies and planning
A Mexican menu is easy to plan for mixed diets, because options can be kept separate. Here are a few tips for planning:
- Agree service times with us
- Have shelter ready in case of rain
- Flag any coeliac guests
- Ask the venue about catering vehicles before booking
We drive in at the agreed time and park in the planned spot. Someone on site to meet us makes it smoother.
Our Mexican drinks bar, with margaritas, Mexican beer and aguas frescas can be added to the booking.
