Food truck hire in Lilyvale, served fresh
When you hire our food truck, it serves your guests and nobody else. It is a private booking, not public trading, so we plan the menu and service times around you. It works well for end-of-year celebrations and anniversary celebrations, with quesadillas, tacos from the hatch and loaded nachos.
In a hamlet or village like Lilyvale, our truck or trailer can serve a private party or a team day in a field or garden. Guests queue at the hatch, so have some cover ready in case of rain. Your quote sets out what’s included: menu, timings and any add-ons.
What food truck hire costs
Your quote will be clear. The main things that affect it are:
- Staff for serving and the bar
- How long we’re needed on site
- Your choice of food and drinks
- Travel, parking and access
There is no one-size-fits-all price for food truck hire. A short lunch service for a team is a different job from a full wedding day. Contact us for a quote.

Lilyvale: parking, access and venues
Lilyvale is about 5 miles east of Ashford, in Kent. Whether your event is in the middle of Lilyvale or on the outskirts, we offer the same service: fresh service from our food truck or trailer, every diet planned for and a clear quote. Lilyvale is one of 922 towns and villages in Kent we cover. We cater right across the region, from Lilyvale to Canterbury (12 miles away).
From central London, Lilyvale is about 53 miles away. When the service is at a church such as Church of St Mary, the truck would serve at the reception venue rather than at the church. Hiring our food truck for an event near the Kent Downs National Landscape, within about 5 miles of Lilyvale? Country lanes can be narrow and verges soft, so tell us about the route in. The coast is within about 6 miles of Lilyvale, so a hired food truck at a seaside venue is an option. The truck or trailer needs firm ground rather than sand or shingle, and seafront spots generally need permission.
We serve at events all over TN25. For events just outside Lilyvale, we cover Brabourne Lees (1 mile north-west), Stone Hill (1 mile south-east), Smeeth (1 mile north-west), Ridgeway (1 mile west) and Bircholt Forstal (1 mile north). We also cater in nearby towns such as Ashford (5 miles west), Canterbury (12 miles north), Dover (14 miles east), Folkestone (8 miles east), Faversham (14 miles north) and Hythe (5 miles south-east).
Nearby you will also find Lympne Castle (3.6 miles south-east) and William Harvey Hospital (3.4 miles north-west). Not far away are Tolsford Hill and Hatch Park.
Planning the serving area
The route in matters as much as the spot itself. We look for:
- Level, solid ground for the vehicle
- A way in wide and high enough for the vehicle
- Some space between the truck and nearby homes
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and the access, and we’ll advise before booking.

DIY taco night or a caterer?
You can host your own taco night for a crowd, but it takes planning. There are fillings to slow-cook, tortillas to keep warm and salsas to make. Read our guide to taco bars.
A DIY taco night works well for a small group. For larger numbers, mixed diets or a wedding, a caterer takes the pressure off, and handles allergen information for you.
Lilyvale: your questions answered
Do you cater in villages like Lilyvale?
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.
Which station is closest to Lilyvale?
Guests can use Westenhanger station, about 2.9 miles south-east of Lilyvale.
Where can the truck park?
Send us the address and a description of the spot, and we will check it works. There is more in our space and power guide.
Do you provide drinks?
Yes, we run a Mexican drinks bar, serving margaritas, Mexican beer, aguas frescas such as hibiscus and horchata, and soft drinks. Alcohol at an event may need a licence, such as a premises licence or a Temporary Event Notice, so we will go through the licensing with you.
Is the food very hot?
The food can be kept mild, and hotter salsas go on the side for guests who like heat.
How much does food truck hire cost?
Each hire is quoted individually, depending on numbers, menu, location and timings. Contact us for a quote.
What happens if it rains?
The truck or trailer can serve in the rain, but guests need somewhere covered to eat and drink, like a marquee or gazebo.
How is private hire different from festival trading?
When you hire us, the booking is yours, and we do not sell to the public. Organisers wanting us to trade at their event can see our festival page.
