Hernhill is about 3 miles east of Faversham, in Kent. Wherever your event is in the ME13 area, we can bring the truck or trailer to you. Hernhill is one of 922 places in Kent we cover. We cater right across the region, from Hernhill to Canterbury (6 miles away).
Hernhill is about 47 miles from central London, close enough for a London team’s away day. If you’re celebrating after a ceremony at a church like Church of St Michael, our food truck or trailer can be waiting at the reception spot. With the coast within about 5 miles of Hernhill, wind is worth planning for. A sheltered, firm spot for the truck or trailer and the queue works best.

Our drinks bar can be hired with the truck with margaritas, Mexican beer and aguas frescas, with licensing checked with you. A build-your-own taco bar can sit beside the truck too.

In a hamlet or village like Hernhill, our food truck or trailer can serve a private party or a team day in a field or garden. Guests order at the hatch, so plan a sheltered spot for the queue in case of rain. We plan the timings around your day, so service starts when you want it.
What’s on the menu
Tacos from the hatch
Tacos made to order at the hatch, with fillings such as carnitas, chicken tinga or spiced mushroom.
Burritos
Burritos suit hungry guests and travel well from the hatch.
How it compares
Most guests have seen a burger van. A Mexican food truck offers something less expected. Your choice of food and drinks affects the price, so tell us what you have in mind. We’ll suggest options to suit your budget.

Hernhill questions
We’re having a ceremony at Church of St Michael: can you cater afterwards?
Yes, at a nearby garden, marquee or hall with access for the truck or trailer. Service would be at the reception venue, not the church. Tell us where the reception will be.
Do you hire out your food truck for parties in places like Hernhill?
Yes, as long as we’re available on the date and can get the truck or trailer in. Tell us about the lane, gates, ground and parking.
Where do you cater?
We cater across London and the South East, including Kent. Find your area.
How many guests can you serve?
It depends on the menu and how long service runs, but around 50 to 400 guests is the usual range. For anything outside that, ask us.
What do you need at the venue?
Send us the address and a description of the spot, and we will check it works. Our guide to space and power has more.
Is the truck suitable for a large group?
That depends on your timings and the event. As a guide, it’s around 50 to 400 guests, so tell us your numbers.
Can we have a build-your-own taco bar?
Yes, a taco bar is one of our options. Tell us about your space and numbers and we will recommend how to serve.
How soon do we need to book?
As soon as you have a date. Popular dates go first, so it pays to ask early.
For event organisers in Hernhill
Venues often have their own rules about outside caterers: where vehicles can park, access times and the paperwork they need. Tell us what your venue needs and we will work to it.
If you’re booking for a business, tell us what your finance team needs, and we will explain how it works. We are happy to liaise with facilities on access and timings.
Before you choose a spot
Before the day, we’ll agree where we park and serve. It needs to meet a few simple requirements:
- Power and water, confirmed with each booking
- Some space between the truck and nearby homes
- Seating or standing room near the truck
Not sure about your space? Send us a picture and we will tell you honestly.
DIY taco night or a caterer?
Doing it yourself? Start with the quantities: our guide to how many tacos per person helps. Keep warmed tortillas covered, and label dishes for guests with allergies.
A DIY taco night works well for a small group. For larger numbers, mixed diets or a wedding, a caterer takes the pressure off, and handles allergen information for you.

The process
Here’s how the day generally runs: we park up and get ready, service opens at the agreed time, and your guests are served fresh for the agreed time. December events in Hernhill lose the light at about 3:50pm, so choose a well-lit spot for the truck or trailer. At midsummer, sunset is around 9:15pm.
- Tell us the date, the location, rough numbers and any diets.
- We check availability and send a menu and a quote for hiring the truck or trailer.
- Before the day, we agree the spot, the way in, power and water.
- On the day we drive in, set up and serve to order from the hatch.
- When service ends, we pack up and leave the spot clear.
How to prepare
- Let us know who to talk to on the day
- Have a marquee or gazebo ready in case of rain
- Measure any gates or arches on the way in
