Food truck hire in High Halden
How our food truck hire works in High Halden
Truck and trailer service normally suits around 50 to 400 guests. Smaller gatherings are looked at case by case, so tell us how many you expect. At family reunions and retirement parties, we’ll put together a menu of fresh salsas and guacamole, tacos from the hatch and burrito bowls for your guests.
In a small place like High Halden, a hired food truck might park in a garden, paddock or field. Tell us about narrow lanes, gates and long drives. Firm ground matters, especially after rain. Your quote sets out what’s included: the menu, the service time and any extras you choose.
High Halden: your questions answered
What’s the nearest station to High Halden for guests?
Guests can use Pluckley station, about 3.9 miles north of High Halden.
Do you come out to small places like High Halden?
Yes. Villages and hamlets are part of our area, and the main thing is access: tell us about the lane, the gate and the ground.
Can you come to a private house?
It depends on access. A drive or a spot nearby may work, with permission, if the garden itself is out of reach. Send us a photo and we’ll talk it through.
Can you plan for allergies?
Yes. Tell us about allergies when you book. Under UK rules, caterers must give information on 14 allergens, and we give it for every dish (Food Standards Agency guidance). For severe allergies, please talk to us first.
How is the food prepared?
We slow-cook fillings ahead, then finish them and keep them hot at your event. The tortillas are warmed on site, and the salsas and guacamole are made fresh.
Do you have vegan options?
Yes, they’re part of the planning from the start. Tell us your numbers when you ask for a quote.
What areas do you cover?
We cater across London and the South East, Kent included. See all areas.
Do you provide plates and napkins?
We confirm that with your quote. Let us know what the venue supplies.

Step by step
Guests tend to gather around the truck, so we’ll help you choose a spot with room for a queue. Rain doesn’t typically stop us serving, but guests will need somewhere covered. December events in High Halden lose the light at about 3:50pm, 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 check availability and send a menu and a quote for hiring the truck or trailer.
- 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.

DIY taco night or a caterer?
A DIY taco night is possible for a crowd, but it is more work than it looks. Fillings need slow cooking, tortillas need warming as you go, and salsas need making. Read our guide to taco bars.
A DIY taco night works well for a small group. For larger numbers, mixed diets or a wedding, a caterer takes the pressure off, with allergen information for every dish.
Is food truck hire right for your event?
Booking several street food trucks means juggling several suppliers. One Mexican truck with a varied menu keeps things simple. The cost per head can fall as numbers rise, because the set-up is similar for different sizes of event. Give us your numbers and we will quote.
