About our food truck hire in Kingsdown
Food truck hire means our truck or trailer is booked for your guests only. Unlike a stall at a festival or market, it’s a private hire, so we plan the menu and service times around you. At engagement parties and wedding receptions, we can serve fresh salsas and guacamole, vegan tacos and burritos for your guests.
For a private or work event near Kingsdown, our food truck or trailer brings its own kitchen; all we need is a level spot, a way in and permission. Timings are planned around your event, whether that is speeches, a lunch break or a festival schedule.
How it works
Your timings come first. If things run behind, tell us and we will adjust the start of service where we can. Evening events in Kingsdown stay light until about 9:15pm at midsummer. Once it is dark, some lighting near the hatch makes ordering easier.
- Check our availability for your date.
- You get a menu for the hatch and a quote.
- The spot and the way in are agreed in advance.
- On the day, guests order at the hatch and we cook to order.
- After service, we close up and leave the spot clear.
Preparing for the day
- Find out what power and water are available
- Get the venue’s permission for us to park and serve
- Have level hardstanding or firm ground ready
How to get a price
The quickest way to a quote is to tell us about it on our contact page. Give us the details of your event, and we’ll put together a menu and price.

Kingsdown questions
Could you come to a seaside event near Kingsdown?
Yes, as long as the site allows it and the ground is firm. Seafront and beach spots typically need permission, and wind is the main thing to plan for.
Could you serve our guests after a service at St. John the Evangelist?
Yes, at a nearby garden, marquee or hall with access for the truck or trailer. We’d serve at the reception venue rather than at the church itself. Send us the reception address.
What do you need at the venue?
A firm, level spot, a way in that fits the vehicle, and the venue’s agreement. Power and water are confirmed with each booking.
Can we add drinks?
You can add our drinks bar, with margaritas, Mexican beer and aguas frescas. Licensing is checked with you.
Do you cater for coeliacs?
Yes, gluten-free options are available, made with corn tortillas. Let us know about coeliac guests in advance so we can explain how we prepare their food. See are corn tortillas gluten-free?
When should we book?
As early as you can, especially for summer weekends. Ask about your date even if it is soon.
Can you cater in a back garden?
It depends on access. If the truck or trailer can’t reach the garden, a drive or a spot nearby may work, with permission. Send us a photo and we will talk it through.
Do you do food truck hire for weddings?
The truck or trailer can serve the wedding breakfast, evening food or both. We fit service around your running order. Read more in having a food truck at a wedding.
DIY taco night or a caterer?
If you do it yourself, work out quantities first: see how many tacos per person. Keep warmed tortillas covered, and label dishes for guests with allergies.
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.
