Hiring our taco truck near Iden Green
Iden Green is about 13 miles north of Hastings, in Kent. Give us the address of your event in Iden Green, and we’ll plan the journey and set-up before the day. Iden Green is one of 922 places in Kent we cover. We cater right across the region, from Iden Green to Royal Tunbridge Wells (14 miles away).
Around Iden Green, historic houses include Great Dixter (4.2 miles south). If you’re hiring a historic venue, check early whether it allows a catering vehicle on site. When the service is at a church such as Church of St George, the truck would serve at the reception venue rather than at the church. With the High Weald National Landscape within about 4 miles, a rural setting for your private or work event is within reach. Firm ground and a clear way in matter most for the truck or trailer.
Wherever your event is in TN17, we can bring the truck or trailer to your guests, from busy streets to quiet lanes. Your event could be at a home on Coldharbour Road, Chapel Lane and Iden Green Road or the roads around them.

You could pick fillings such as chicken tinga, carnitas or beef birria, alongside a vegan option such as spiced mushroom. We plan for vegan, vegetarian, dairy-free and gluten-free guests. For christenings and family parties and end-of-year celebrations, we’ll put together a menu of loaded nachos, quesadillas and burrito bowls.
In a rural place like Iden Green, access is the main thing to plan for a hired truck: gate widths, soft ground and the route from the road all matter. We confirm power and water arrangements with you. Access, space and power are agreed with you beforehand, so there are no surprises on arrival.
Prices and what affects them
The same guest numbers can mean different prices, depending on:
- Whether you need disposables
- The menu you choose
- Timings and hours
- Distance and access to the venue
Access, parking and the distance to your venue can affect the price, so it helps to tell us about your venue. Your quote confirms the full price.
What we need to know
You don’t need every detail fixed to get a quote, but these help:
- The venue or postcode
- What you’d like on the menu
- Expected numbers
- Gate widths, slopes and the ground
Getting a quote is simple: tell us the date, place, numbers and any dietary needs. We will come back with a clear quote and a suggested menu.
Should I do it myself?
Some hosts like to do it themselves. 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.
If you do it yourself, work out quantities first: our guide to how many tacos per person helps. Keep warmed tortillas covered, and label anything containing allergens.
What happens on the day
Once service is over, we pack down and clear our own area. We agree set-up and pack-down times with you and your venue. Evening events in Iden Green stay light until about 9:15pm at midsummer. After that, festoon lights or lamps near the truck help guests order.
- Tell us the date, the location, rough numbers and any diets.
- You get a hatch menu and a quote for the hire.
