How our food truck hire works in Lympne
When you hire our food truck, it serves your guests and nobody else. It’s a private booking, not public trading, so we plan the menu and service times around you. At engagement parties and client hospitality, we’ll put together a menu of tacos from the hatch, burritos and loaded nachos for your guests.
In a rural place like Lympne, access is the main thing to plan for a hired truck: gate widths, soft ground and the route from the road all matter. We confirm power and water arrangements with you. We arrive ready to serve, and clear our own area when service is finished.

For event organisers in Lympne
Wedding planners and venue coordinators are welcome to contact us directly, and we will keep everyone informed on the day.
If you are organising for someone else, such as a wedding planner, an office manager or a festival organiser, we’re happy to deal with you and the venue directly. It keeps things simple.
Popular choices
Burrito bowls
A bowl is a good choice for guests avoiding tortillas.
Tacos from the hatch
Warm tortillas filled to order and finished with salsa, with fillings such as carnitas, chicken tinga or spiced mushroom.
How the day works
We arrive in good time before service, then set up and prepare everything. Guests come up to order when service opens. A hired food truck at a summer event in Lympne can serve in daylight until about 9:15pm at midsummer, and by late September sunset is about 7:00pm. In December it is dark by about 3:50pm, so the queue by the hatch needs lighting.
- Tell us the date, the location, rough numbers and any diets.
- We suggest a menu for the hatch and quote for it.
- We confirm the parking spot, access, power and water with you or the venue.
- We arrive, open the hatch and cook to order for your guests.
- When service ends, we pack up and leave the spot clear.

Lympne: your questions answered
Do you cater in the Kent Downs National Landscape?
We do, where the venue allows a catering vehicle. Lanes can be narrow and ground soft, so tell us how we’d get in.
Will you travel to a small place like Lympne?
Yes, small places are no problem, given access. Let us know about access and parking for the truck or trailer.
Can we add drinks?
The drinks bar comes with bar staff and alcohol-free choices. We will talk through licensing first.
Can you cater for guests who avoid dairy?
Yes. Dairy-free options are part of our menus, and we will tell you which dishes contain milk.
What do you serve?
Mexican street food and drinks: tacos and build-your-own taco bars, burritos, burrito bowls, nachos and quesadillas, with salsas, guacamole and toppings. We also run a Mexican drinks bar, with margaritas, Mexican beer and aguas frescas.
Can you keep it mild?
The food can be kept mild, and hotter salsas go on the side for guests who like heat.
How much space do you need?
Access and level ground matter most: a level spot to park, space for guests to queue and a little room for a serving table. If in doubt, send us a photo of the space and the way in.
When should we book?
As early as you can, especially for summer weekends. Even if it is short notice, it’s worth asking.
Can I do a taco night myself?
Running your own drinks table is one option, but someone has to serve all evening. See our margarita bar guide.
Some hosts like to do it themselves. The usual problems are cold tortillas, running out of a popular filling and a host stuck at the stove. If you’d rather enjoy the party, let us serve.
Who books food truck hire in Lympne?
It is relaxed for guests and easy for hosts, because we cook, serve and clear away.
If you are planning any of these, we can help:
- Staff appreciation days
- Client hospitality
- Family reunions
- Retirement parties

Questions to ask before you book

How it compares
