Food truck hire in Hersden, from our truck or trailer
We serve when you want us to: a lunchtime window, an evening service or a longer slot through a party. Tell us when guests should eat. On the menu are tacos from the hatch, fresh salsas and guacamole and burrito bowls, and it suits private outdoor parties and launch events.
In a smaller place like Hersden, hiring our food truck for a party at home is often the easiest option: no venue hire, and guests order at 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.
Planners, venues and businesses
If you’re planning an event on someone’s behalf, whether you are a planner, an office manager or an event organiser, we will work directly with you and the venue. It saves passing messages back and forth.
Booking for a company? Tell us what your finance team needs, and we will explain how it works. We can work with your facilities team on access and timings.

Hersden questions
Could you come to a seaside event near Hersden?
We can, given firm ground and the landowner’s permission. Beaches and promenades normally need the council’s agreement, so check that first.
Could you serve our guests after a service at Church of All Saints?
Yes. The church itself isn’t 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.
What about vegan and gluten-free guests?
There are gluten-free, dairy-free, vegetarian and vegan options, and corn tortillas suit gluten-free guests. Every dish has allergen information.
Can you keep it mild?
That is your choice: we can keep the main dishes mild, with hotter salsas served separately. Read more about how spicy Mexican food is.
What’s on the menu?
We agree a sample menu with each client. Fillings could include slow-cooked pork carnitas, chicken tinga, beef birria and vegan options such as spiced mushrooms or black beans. See our menu for ideas.
What happens if it rains?
Rain doesn’t typically stop service from the truck or trailer. It is worth planning a covered area for guests, and tell us if heavy rain could make the ground soft.
Where can the truck park?
Level, firm ground or hardstanding, access wide and high enough to drive in, and the venue’s permission. We confirm power and water when you book.
Can we hire the truck for our wedding?
A food truck suits a relaxed wedding well. We agree access and timings with the venue.
How we price food truck hire
Contact us for a quote, and the price is based on:
- What the venue already provides
- How many staff you need
- Adding food to drinks, or drinks to food
- The number of people
What’s on the menu makes a difference to the total, so share your ideas with us. We’ll suggest options to suit your budget.
What to tell us
We can quote more accurately with a few details. Here’s what’s useful:
- A picture of the space, if it’s a garden or field
- Where the event is
- Diets and allergies you know about
- Whether you’d like food, drinks or both
We need only a few details to quote: date, location, guest numbers and diets. To send them, send us your details through our quote form.
Popular choices
Salsas and guacamole
Guacamole and a choice of salsas, freshly made.
Burrito bowls
Rice, beans, a filling and toppings in a bowl.
Comparing your options
Most guests have seen a burger van. A Mexican food truck offers something less expected. Larger events can cost less per head, because the set-up is similar for different sizes of event. Tell us your numbers for an accurate price.
Why us?
- Events in Hersden and across Kent
- Service planned around your numbers
- A menu built around your guests
- Set-up planned with you and your venue

DIY taco night versus a caterer
You can host your own taco night for a crowd, but it takes planning. There are fillings to slow-cook, tortillas to keep warm and salsas to make. Our taco bar guide explains how.
Doing it yourself saves money, but the host ends up in the kitchen. With a caterer, you get the food and drinks without the work.

Catering for every guest
Dietary needs are easy to plan for with a little notice. Our advice:
- Look into parking permissions if the truck can’t go off-road
- Let us know who is coeliac
- Put anyone with a severe allergy in touch with us
- Give us separate numbers for children
Service starts when your timings say.
Margaritas, Mexican beer and aguas frescas from our drinks bar can join the truck.
Step by step
Here’s how the day normally runs: we arrive and set up, we open the hatch when you are ready, and your guests are served fresh until service ends. Late-September events in Hersden see sunset at about 7:00pm, so a later service will need some lighting. A late-May event keeps its light until roughly 8:45pm.
- Share your plans for the event.
- Together we plan dishes that cover your guests’ diets.
- Power, water and timings are agreed with you or the venue.
- Service runs at the times you choose.
- Once service ends, we tidy up and go.
Getting ready for the day
- Give us your final numbers and diets
- Measure any gates or arches on the way in
- Confirm the venue allows outside caterers
