Questions from Kilndown
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.
Do you come out to small places like Kilndown?
Yes. Villages and hamlets are part of our area, and the main thing is access: tell us about the lane, the gate and the ground.
When should we book?
The sooner the better. Popular dates go first, so get in touch early.
How much does food truck hire cost?
Each hire is quoted individually, based on guest numbers, the menu, the location and service times. Contact us for a quote.
Can you do gluten-free food?
Yes, we offer gluten-free options, using corn tortillas. Tell us about any coeliac guests before the event so we can talk through how their food is prepared.
How does food truck hire work?
You hire the truck or trailer for agreed service times. We cook, serve and clear away.
Do you cook on site?
Food is cooked to order in our food truck or trailer, or served from a build-your-own taco bar. Slow-cooked fillings are prepared in advance and kept hot on site.
Do you bring plates and cutlery?
We confirm that with your quote. Let us know what the venue supplies.
Food truck hire for your event in Kilndown
Guests walk up to the hatch, order and take their food away hot. It is simple, quick and sociable for guests and hosts. We serve quesadillas, vegan tacos and loaded nachos, and it suits winter staff parties and engagement parties.
In a small place like Kilndown, a hired food truck might park in a garden, paddock or field. Lanes, gates and long drives are fine if we know about them. Firm ground matters, especially after rain. Food and drinks can be booked together or separately, so one caterer can cover more of the day.

Comparing your options
Hog roasts are popular with meat eaters, but a Mexican menu covers vegan, gluten-free and dairy-free guests more easily. A food truck can be a practical alternative to plated catering, as there’s no kitchen to hire. Contact us for a quote to compare.

DIY taco night or a caterer?
