Food truck hire in Kingston, from our truck or trailer
Guests walk up to the hatch, order and take their food away hot. It is simple, quick and sociable for guests and hosts. At milestone birthdays and anniversary celebrations, we’ll put together a menu of burritos, loaded nachos and vegan tacos and more.
In a small place like Kingston, 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. We’ll check the space, access and power with you before the day, so set-up goes smoothly.

Where the truck can go in Kingston
No two venues are the same, so we will ask about yours when you get in touch. Generally, we look for:
- A clear area for a queue at the hatch

If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and the access, and we’ll advise.

DIY taco night versus a caterer
A DIY taco night is possible for a crowd, but it’s 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.
Plenty of people try a DIY taco night at home. Common snags are cold tortillas, uneven quantities and the host missing the party. If you’d rather enjoy the party, let us serve.
How we price food truck hire

Kingston questions
Can we hire your food truck for a private party in Kingston?
Yes, depending on the date. For a private or work event in a village or hamlet, the main thing is access: tell us about the lane, the gate and the ground.
Could you serve our guests after a service at Church of St Giles?
Yes, at a garden, field or venue nearby where the truck or trailer can park. Service would be at the reception venue, not the church. Send us the reception address.
Is the food suitable for children?
Of course. We can keep dishes mild, and simple options such as quesadillas or nachos can be part of the menu. Tell us how many children are coming.
How much is food truck hire?
We don’t publish set prices, because each hire is different. Tell us your plans and we will quote for your event. Our food truck hire guide explains what affects the cost.
How long are you on site?
We get there well before service to set up. The length of service is agreed when you book, along with pack-down.
Do you come to Kingston?
We do. We serve at events in Kingston and across Kent. Tell us your date and we’ll check availability.
How much space do you need?
A level, firm spot for the truck or trailer, with access wide and high enough to drive in, and the venue’s agreement. We confirm power and water with you for each booking.
Do you cater for vegetarian guests?
Yes. Vegetarian and vegan fillings, such as spiced mushrooms or black beans, can be part of the menu, served alongside the meat options.
How the day works
Serving is quick: guests are served at the hatch or a serving station, so a crowd is looked after quickly. Afterwards we clear our area. December events in Kingston lose the light at about 3:50pm, so choose a well-lit spot for the truck or trailer. In late June, it stays light until about 9:15pm.
- Check our availability for your date.
- We agree a hatch menu and send 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.
- We pack down and drive away when service ends.
Before we arrive
- Have a marquee or gazebo ready in case of rain
- Name one person we can ask on the day
- Choose a level, firm spot for the truck or trailer
