In a hamlet or village like Horton Kirby, our food truck or trailer can serve a private party or a team day in a field or garden.

DIY taco night versus a caterer
Doing it yourself? Start with the quantities: see how many tacos per person. Keep tortillas warm in a covered basket, and label anything containing allergens.
You can set up your own drinks table, but someone has to serve all evening. See our margarita bar guide.
Comparing your options
Plated catering needs a kitchen tent, waiting staff and set courses. Our truck or trailer brings the kitchen and serves from one hatch. Cost depends on guest numbers, the menu and the length of service, along with extras and where your event is. We quote for each event individually.
Why us?
- A menu agreed with you
- Set-up planned with you and your venue
- A truck or trailer that comes to you
- Quick, friendly service from the hatch
See our prices page or the cost guide.
Catering for every guest
We take diets and allergies seriously. Here’s how you can help:
- Check gate widths and any height limits
- Send allergy details in writing
- Put anyone with a severe allergy in touch with us
- Share your running order
When service ends, we pack away and drive off quietly.
Loaded nachos to share while the first orders cook are a good way to begin.
Where the truck can go in Horton Kirby
If a space isn’t suitable, we will tell you. What matters most:
- A parking suspension, where a street spot is needed
- A way in wide and high enough for the vehicle
- Distance from houses and windows
If you are unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think.
Common questions in Horton Kirby
How far is Horton Kirby from central London?
Roughly 16 miles from the centre of London.
Do you come to events in the Kent Downs National Landscape?
Yes, though some venues in protected landscapes have extra rules; ask your venue. Tell us about narrow lanes and soft ground.
When do you arrive?
That depends on your event and menu. We agree arrival, service and pack-down times with you to suit your day.
Can you cater for special diets?
We plan vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and dairy-free options, and corn tortillas suit gluten-free guests. Every dish has allergen information.
How is private hire different from festival trading?
A private hire is booked and quoted for you, and we don’t sell to the public. Organisers wanting us to trade at their event can see our festival page.
How spicy is the food?
That’s your choice: we can keep the main dishes mild, with hotter salsas served separately. Read more about how spicy Mexican food is.
Do you need electricity?
Let us know what’s available on site, for example a supply from the venue, and we will confirm what we need with your quote.
How much is food truck hire?
We do not publish set prices, because each hire is different. Tell us your plans and we will quote for your event. See the Mexican catering cost guide for background.
