Which station should guests use for Lower Rainham?
Guests can use Rainham (Kent) station, about 0.7 miles south of Lower Rainham.
Is Lower Rainham close to London?
About 32 miles from central London, and well within our area.
How much is food truck hire?

Can guests build their own tacos?
We can. We can set up a build-your-own taco bar, served from the truck or a serving table, with fillings, salsas, guacamole and toppings. Read our taco bar guide.
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. See our food truck wedding guide.
What happens if it rains?
Rain doesn’t normally stop service from the truck or trailer. Plan cover for guests, such as a marquee or gazebo, and let us know if the ground gets soft after heavy rain.
Is the truck suitable for a large group?
Hiring the truck or trailer normally suits around 50 to 400 guests. Smaller parties are quoted case by case.
Can you cater for children?
Yes, children are welcome. Let us know numbers and ages, and we’ll plan the menu with them in mind.
How our food truck hire works in Lower Rainham
Fillings might include carnitas, al pastor-style pork or chicken tinga, with vegan choices like black bean and sweet potato. We plan for vegan, vegetarian, dairy-free and gluten-free guests. It works well for staff summer parties and leaving parties, serving burritos, loaded nachos and quesadillas.
Somewhere as small as Lower Rainham, food truck hire can mean a garden, a field or a barn. Tell us about narrow lanes, gates and long drives. Soft ground after rain is worth mentioning too. Every guest is catered for, vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and dairy-free included, and we give allergen information for every dish.
For event organisers in Lower Rainham
If you are organising for someone else, such as a wedding planner, an office manager or a festival organiser, we are happy to deal with you and the venue directly. It keeps things simple.
If your event is in a public space, such as a park, check what permission you need first. We will provide the information the landowner or council asks for from us.
Planning the serving area
We serve from a truck or trailer, so the spot needs a little planning. Here’s what we look for:
- Any parking or loading permission needed for street locations
- Agreement from the venue to bring in a catering vehicle
- Firm, level ground or hardstanding where the truck or trailer can park
If you’re unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think.

DIY taco night versus a caterer
You can set up your own drinks table, but someone has to serve all evening. See our margarita bar guide.
A DIY taco night works well for a small group. For larger numbers, mixed diets or a wedding, a caterer takes the pressure off, with allergen information for every dish.
How it compares
Hog roasts are popular with meat eaters, but tacos and bowls make vegan, gluten-free and dairy-free guests easier to feed. Cost depends on guest numbers, the menu and the length of service, plus any add-ons and the location. We quote for each event individually.

How it works
Guests tend to gather around the truck, so we plan a spot with space for people to queue. We can serve in the rain, but guests will need somewhere covered. By late September, it is dark in Lower Rainham at around 7:00pm, so a later service will need some lighting. In late May, daylight lasts until about 8:50pm.

- 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.
