Food truck hire in Hever, served fresh
When you hire our food truck, it serves your guests and nobody else. It’s a private booking, not public trading, so we plan the menu and service times around you. It suits christenings and family parties and launch events, serving burrito bowls, vegan tacos and tacos from the hatch.
For a rural spot like Hever, food truck hire needs a little planning: the gate, the ground and the distance from the lane. Power and water may be limited, so we confirm the arrangements before the day. You will know what’s included before you book: menu, timings and any add-ons.

Before you choose a spot

DIY taco night or a caterer?
Plenty of people try a DIY taco night at home. The usual problems are cold tortillas, running out of a popular filling and a host stuck at the stove. If you’d rather enjoy the party, let us serve.
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.
How it works
Guests tend to gather around the truck, so we plan a spot with space for people to queue. Rain does not typically stop us serving, but guests will need somewhere covered. Evening events in Hever stay light until about 9:20pm at midsummer. Once it is dark, some lighting near the hatch makes ordering easier.
- Share your plans for the event.
- We suggest fillings and dishes for every diet.
- We check power, water and timings with the venue.
- Service runs at the times you choose.
- When everyone is fed, we clear our area.
Before we arrive
