What else we do in Ickham
Should I do it myself?
DIY catering keeps costs down, but the host spends the party serving. Booking a caterer means you can relax with everyone else.
A DIY taco night works well for a small group. For big numbers or lots of diets, a caterer makes life easier, and handles allergen information for you.
For event organisers in Ickham
If your event is in a public space, such as a park, check what permission you need first. We’ll provide the information the landowner or council asks for from us.
Planners and coordinators can contact us directly, and we’ll keep you updated on timings and set-up.
How the day works
The truck or trailer tends to draw a crowd, so we will help you choose a spot with room for a queue. We can serve in the rain, though guests will want somewhere covered to stand or sit. A hired food truck at a summer event in Ickham can serve in daylight until about 9:15pm at midsummer, while late September brings sunset forward to around 7:00pm. For winter events, dark by about 3:50pm, plan lighting where guests queue at the hatch.
- Ask us whether your date is available.
- You get a menu for the hatch and a quote.
- The spot and the way in are agreed in advance.
- We drive in, open the hatch and serve your guests.
- We pack down and drive away when service ends.
Preparing for the day
- Give us your final numbers and diets
- Share the running order, including any speeches
- Tell us about narrow gates or low branches
How to get a price
Each quote is tailored to your event. Tell us your date and guest numbers, and we will confirm whether we are available that day.

Ickham questions
We’re having a ceremony at Church of St John: can you cater afterwards?
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’ll check the access.
Could we book your food truck for a private event in Ickham?
Yes, subject to the date and access for the truck or trailer. Tell us about the lane, gates, ground and parking.
Do you cater for coeliacs?
Yes, with corn tortillas. Corn is naturally gluten-free, though some sauces and toppings can contain gluten, so we plan gluten-free dishes carefully and give allergen information.
What happens if it rains?
We can keep serving from the truck or trailer in the rain, but guests need somewhere covered to eat and drink, such as a marquee, gazebo or nearby building.
Can you cater for special diets?
We plan for diets before the day, though we can’t guarantee there are no traces of any allergen. Guests with severe allergies should talk to us first.
Is there a minimum number of guests?
Truck and trailer service usually suits around 50 to 400 guests. Festivals can be bigger, and smaller parties are quoted case by case. Send us your numbers and we will advise.
Do you sell to the public at private events?
At a private hire, we serve your guests and nobody else, on a menu and timings agreed with you. At festivals and markets we trade to the public; see our street food catering page.
How does food truck hire work?
We bring our food truck or trailer to your venue, park in the agreed spot and serve your guests from the hatch. Only your guests are served.
Where the truck can go in Ickham
If a space isn’t suitable, we will tell you. The main points are:
- The venue’s or landowner’s permission for a food truck
- A flat parking spot on firm ground or hardstanding
- Some space between the truck and nearby homes
Not sure about your space? Send us a photo and we will tell you honestly before you book.

Comparing your options
A marquee kitchen with plated service needs more space, more staff and more time. A food truck arrives as a kitchen and serves from the hatch. Extras, such as more dishes, extra drinks or a longer service, are quoted on request, so you choose what goes in.
Why book with us
- Food and drinks from one caterer, if you want both
- Allergen information for everything we serve
- Access, space and power checked in advance
- Events in Ickham and across Kent
What’s on the menu
Salsas and guacamole
Guacamole and a choice of salsas, freshly made.
Burritos

What food truck hire costs
We will give you a clear quote. The main things that affect it are:
- How many guests we are serving
- The menu you choose
- Travel, parking and access
- Whether you need disposables
Pricing depends on the event. A short lunch service for a team is a different job from a full wedding day. Contact us for a quote.
What to tell us
The more we know about your event, the better we can plan. Try to include:
- What power and water the site has
- Access for the truck or trailer, including gates and ground
- The venue or postcode
- The date and rough timings
Most quotes start with a few simple details: the date, where the event is, how many guests and any dietary needs. To send them, tell us about it on our contact page.
