Food truck hire in Lower Halstow, from our food truck or trailer
We cook inside our truck or trailer, so there’s no need for kitchen space at the venue. We need a level spot, safe access and the venue’s permission. On the menu are vegan tacos, fresh salsas and guacamole and burrito bowls, which works well for company away days and milestone birthdays.
Somewhere as small as Lower Halstow, food truck hire can mean a garden, a field or a barn. Lanes, gates and long drives are fine if we know about them. Soft ground after rain is worth mentioning too. We will check the space, access and power with you before the day, so set-up goes smoothly.
DIY taco night or a caterer?
Doing it yourself? Start with the quantities: see how many tacos per person. Keep tortillas warm in a covered basket, and label dishes for guests with allergies.
Running your own drinks table is one option, but someone has to serve all evening. Our margarita bar guide has tips.
Working with your venue
If you’re booking for a business, tell us what your finance team needs, and we’ll explain how it works. We can work with your facilities team on access and timings.
If you are planning an event on someone’s behalf, such as a wedding planner, an office manager or a festival organiser, we will work directly with you and the venue. It saves passing messages back and forth.
Dietary needs and planning tips
With a little notice, most diets are easy. Our advice:
- Plan a covered area for guests to eat
- Send allergy details in writing
- Ask guests about dietary needs when they reply
- Guests with serious allergies should contact us first
We drive in at the agreed time and park in the planned spot. It helps if someone can meet us on arrival.
Loaded nachos to share while the first orders cook are a good way to begin.

How the day works
The truck or trailer tends to draw a crowd, so we plan a spot with space for people to queue. We can serve in the rain, though guests will want somewhere covered to stand or sit. At midsummer, it stays light in Lower Halstow until about 9:15pm, and by late September sunset is about 7:00pm. For winter events, dark by about 3:50pm, plan lighting where guests queue at the hatch.
- Tell us what the event is and who’s coming.
- Together we plan dishes that cover your guests’ diets.
- Power, water and timings are agreed with you or the venue.
- The truck serves at the agreed times.
- Once service ends, we tidy up and go.
Preparing for the day
- Tell us about narrow gates or low branches
- Pick a flat, firm spot for us to park
