Food truck hire in Istead Rise, served fresh
Pair the truck with our Mexican drinks bar with margaritas, Mexican beer and aguas frescas, with licensing checked with you. A build-your-own taco bar can sit beside the truck too. On the menu are burrito bowls, burritos and quesadillas, and it’s a good fit for engagements and anniversaries and client hospitality.
In a small place like Istead Rise, a hired food truck might park in a garden, paddock or field. Lanes, gates and long drives are fine if we know about them. Soft ground after rain is worth mentioning too. Food and drinks can be booked together or separately, so one caterer can cover more of the day.
What food truck hire costs
The price comes down to a few factors:
- Whether you need disposables
- The menu you choose
- The number of people
- Staff for serving and the bar
The price depends on guest numbers, the menu and how long you’d like us to serve, plus any add-ons and the location. Every event gets its own quote.
What we need to know
We can quote more accurately with a few details. Here’s what to include:
- Expected numbers
- A picture of the space, if it is a garden or field
- The venue or postcode
- The date and rough timings
We need only a few details to quote: the date, where the event is, how many guests and any dietary needs. To send them, send us your details through our quote form.
How it works
The truck or trailer needs a level, firm spot with access to drive in, and we agree power and water arrangements before the day. Send us a picture of the space if you are unsure. Evening events in Istead Rise stay light until about 9:20pm at midsummer. After that, festoon lights or lamps near the truck help guests order.

Istead Rise questions

About 20 miles from central London, and well within our area.
What’s the nearest station to Istead Rise for guests?
Meopham station, about 1.3 miles south of the centre.
When do you arrive?
We get there well before service to set up. The length of service is agreed when you book.
Can you cater for guests who avoid dairy?
Yes, on request. Tell us how many guests need dairy-free food, and we’ll include them in the plan.
Do you cater for coeliacs?
Yes, gluten-free options are available, made with corn tortillas. Tell us about any coeliac guests before the event so we can talk through how their food is prepared.
Do you bring plates and cutlery?
Ask us when you enquire. Tell us what your venue provides, and we’ll set out plates, napkins and cutlery in your quote.
How does food truck hire work?
You hire the truck or trailer for agreed service times. We cook to order, serve from the hatch and pack down afterwards.
Can you cater for vegetarians and vegans?
Yes, they’re part of the planning from the start. Tell us your numbers when you ask for a quote.
Diets, allergies and planning
With a little notice, most diets are easy. We suggest:
- Confirm allergies with us in writing
- Look into parking permissions if the truck cannot go off-road
- Confirm the venue accepts outside caterers and vehicles
- Collect diets and allergies with your RSVPs
We can serve through rain, though a marquee or gazebo helps guests stay dry.
Ask us about evening food later on.
Can I do a taco night 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.
Doing it yourself? Start with the quantities: see how many tacos per person. Keep tortillas warm in a covered basket, and label dishes for guests with allergies.
About the menu
