Food truck hire for your event in Ightham
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. Popular choices include burrito bowls, tacos from the hatch and fresh salsas and guacamole, which works well for retirement parties and family celebrations.
In a rural place like Ightham, access is the main thing to plan for a hired truck: 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 can book food, drinks or both, so the food and drinks can come from one caterer.
What’s on the menu
Loaded nachos
Tortilla chips with cheese, a filling, salsa and guacamole, for sharing.
Burrito bowls
Everything from a burrito, served in a bowl.
What happens on the day
Your timings come first. If things run behind, let us know and we’ll adjust where we can. Planning a private evening event in Ightham? Sunset is around 8:50pm in late May and 9:20pm in late June. Once it is dark, some lighting near the hatch makes ordering easier.

- We check availability and send a menu and a quote for hiring the truck or trailer.

Should I do it myself?
Some hosts like to do it themselves. Common snags are cold tortillas, uneven quantities and the host missing the party. If you’d rather enjoy the party, let us serve.
You can set up your own drinks table, but someone still has to mix, pour and keep an eye on it all evening. See our margarita bar guide.
