In a rural place like Key's Green, access is the main thing to plan for a hired truck: gate widths, soft ground and the route from the road all matter.

Diets, allergies and planning
Most events have a mix of diets. To cater well for them:
- Collect diets and allergies with your RSVPs
- Let us know who is coeliac
- Share your running order
- Put anyone with a severe allergy in touch with us
The hatch opens at the time you choose, and we cook each order as it comes.
Simple quesadillas suit younger guests.
Should I do it myself?
A DIY taco night is possible for a crowd, but it is more work than it looks. Fillings need slow cooking, tortillas need warming as you go, and salsas need making. Our taco bar guide explains how.
A DIY taco night works well for a small group. For big numbers or lots of diets, a caterer makes life easier, with allergen information for every dish.

Key's Green: your questions answered
Do you come to events in the High Weald National Landscape?
We do, where the venue allows a catering vehicle. Lanes can be narrow and ground soft, so tell us how we’d get in.
Could you serve in Brenchley Wood?
It depends on the park’s owner, who would need to agree to a catering vehicle on site. Ask them first; if they say yes, we will send what they need from us.
Can we have a build-your-own taco bar?
We can. A build-your-own taco bar can be served from the truck or a serving station, with fillings, salsas, guacamole and toppings. Read our taco bar guide.
What does hiring your food truck involve?
You book the truck or trailer for set hours at your event. We cook to order, serve from the hatch and pack down afterwards.
How much does food truck hire cost?
Each hire is quoted individually, based on guest numbers, the menu, the location and service times. For a price, tell us about it on our contact page.
Do you cater for vegetarian guests?
Yes, and we plan them in from the start. Tell us your numbers when you ask for a quote.
Do you give allergen information?
Our menus are planned with allergies in mind, nut allergies included, and give allergen information for every dish. We plan carefully and keep options separate, though we cannot promise a dish is allergen-free. If a guest has a severe allergy, please talk to us before the event.
Is private hire the same as trading at a festival?
At a private hire, we serve your guests and nobody else, with a menu and timings you agree with us. Festival and market trading is open to the public.
