Food truck hire in Ivy Hatch
Food truck hire in Ivy Hatch, from our truck or trailer
Food truck hire means our food truck or trailer is booked for your guests only. Unlike a stall at a festival or market, it is a private hire, so the menu and timings are set around your event. It works well for staff summer parties and client events and product launches, with loaded nachos, quesadillas and burrito bowls.
In a small place like Ivy Hatch, 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. Access, space and power are agreed with you beforehand, so set-up goes smoothly.
Who books food truck hire in Ivy Hatch?
People eat when they’re hungry, rather than all at once.
Whatever the occasion, the serving truck can be a highlight. We are happy to cater:
- Leaving parties
- Private parties in fields and grounds
- Anniversary celebrations
- Client events and product launches
Close to Ivy Hatch are historic houses such as Ightham Mote (0.7 miles south) and Old Soar Manor (2.1 miles east). If you are hiring a historic venue, check early whether it allows a catering vehicle on site.

Working with your venue
Hosting a party at home? Send a photo of the space and tell us about access, and we will let you know if it is a good fit.
Wedding planners and venue coordinators are welcome to contact us directly, and we will keep you updated on timings and set-up.
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 be with your guests, we’ll do the serving.
Not sure whether to do it yourself or book a caterer? Think about numbers, diets and how much you want to enjoy the day. Ask us for a quote and compare.

Step by step
From set-up to service, we look after everything you’ve booked from us, so you can enjoy your event. By late September, it’s dark in Ivy Hatch at around 7:00pm, so evening service from the truck may run past dusk. A late-May event keeps its light until roughly 8:50pm.
- Tell us what the event is and who’s coming.
- We suggest fillings and dishes for every diet.
- We check power, water and timings with the venue.
- The truck serves at the agreed times.
- When everyone is fed, we clear our area.

Your questions about food truck hire in Ivy Hatch
What’s the nearest station to Ivy Hatch for guests?
Borough Green & Wrotham station, about 2.2 miles north-east of the centre.
Can you cater a reception after a service at Ivy Hatch Church?
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.
When do you arrive?
We get there well before service to set up. Serving times are agreed with you in advance.
Who clears up?
We clear our own area when service is finished. For anything beyond that, such as guests’ tables, ask us.
How is private hire different from festival trading?
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.

We cover London and the South East, including Kent. See all areas.
How big an event can you cater?
Our truck and trailer service usually suits events of around 50 to 400 guests. Smaller parties are quoted case by case, and festivals can be larger. Send us your numbers and we will advise.

Why choose food truck hire in Ivy Hatch?

Catering for every guest
A Mexican menu is easy to plan for mixed diets, because options can be kept separate. A few tips:
- Ask guests with severe allergies to speak to us beforehand
- Have shelter ready in case of rain
- Ask the venue about catering vehicles before booking
- Walk the access route and note narrow gaps
When service ends, we pack away and drive off quietly.
