How it compares
A private hire is not the same as a festival stall. At public events, anyone can buy; a private hire means your guests, your menu and your timings. Comparing caterers? Look at what each quote includes: service time, staff, plates and napkins, travel and VAT. Our quote sets out what’s included.
What you get with us
- We cover Markbeech and the whole of Kent
- Fast service, even with a queue
- A truck or trailer that comes to you
- A menu agreed with you
Food truck hire in Markbeech, served fresh
Everyone orders at the hatch and gets food cooked to order. It keeps things easy and relaxed. We serve quesadillas, tacos from the hatch and loaded nachos, and it suits wedding receptions and staff appreciation days.
In a rural place like Markbeech, access is the main thing to plan for a hired truck: gate widths, soft ground and the route from the road all matter. Power and water may be limited, so we confirm the arrangements before the day. We prepare everything fresh for your event and serve it straight from our truck or trailer, so guests get it at its best.
Events we cater in Markbeech
You don’t need a kitchen, so gardens, fields and grounds all become options with the venue’s agreement.
A truck or trailer works for big and small events alike. Common bookings include:
- Weddings
- Client hospitality
- Private outdoor parties
- Family reunions
Before you plan a private event in Chiddingstone Castle Park and Gardens, ask whoever manages it about vehicles on site.
What your quote should include
- The caterer’s food hygiene rating
- Whether VAT is included
- When final numbers are due
- Staff numbers and hours
Prices and what affects them
Two events with the same number of guests can cost different amounts, depending on:
- Your choice of food and drinks
- How many guests we are serving
- The length of service
- Plates, napkins and cutlery
Pricing depends on the event. A short lunch service for a team is a different job from a full wedding day. Your quote sets it all out.
What to tell us
The more we know about your event, the better we can plan. Please include:
- Approximate guest numbers, including children
- The venue or postcode
- The date and rough timings
- What power and water the site has
Tell us your date, venue or postcode and roughly how many guests, plus any dietary needs, and we’ll reply with a menu suggestion and a quote. Just tell us about it on our contact page.
Before you choose a spot
Plenty of outdoor spaces and venues work for us, but there are a few things to check:
- Room for guests to gather at the hatch
- A place for guests to eat close to the hatch
- A flat parking spot on firm ground or hardstanding
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and the access, and we will advise.

Catering for every guest
Good planning keeps every guest safe and happy. Here’s how:
- Add a dietary question to the invitation
- Ask the venue about catering vehicles before booking
- Ask guests with severe allergies to speak to us beforehand
- Ask about parking rules if we’ll be on a road
We can serve through rain, but guests will want a covered area to eat.
A taco-bar station can sit next to the truck.
FAQs for Markbeech
Can you bring a truck or trailer to venues in the High Weald 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.
Can you cater a reception after a service at Church of the Holy Trinity?
Yes, at a nearby garden, marquee or hall with access for the truck or trailer. Service would be at the reception venue, not the church. Tell us where the reception will be.
How long do you serve for?
We arrive in good time to set up before service. The length of service is agreed when you book, along with pack-down.
How does food truck hire work?
We bring our truck or trailer to your venue, park in the agreed spot and serve your guests from the hatch. It is a private booking for your guests only.
Can you do gluten-free food?
We can, using corn tortillas. Corn is naturally gluten-free, though some sauces and toppings can contain gluten, so we check every dish and give allergen information.
Can we hire the truck for our wedding?
A food truck suits a relaxed wedding well. We will check access and timings with your venue.
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. Power and water arrangements are confirmed with each booking.
Do you provide drinks?
Yes, we do. Our drinks bar can be booked on its own or with food. We will check the licensing for alcohol with you.
What’s on the menu
Quesadillas
Toasted tortillas with melted cheese and a filling.
Burrito bowls
Everything from a burrito, served in a bowl.
Can I do a taco night myself?
Not sure whether to do it yourself or book a caterer? Think about numbers, diets and how much you want to enjoy the day. Contact us for a quote to compare.
You can set up your own drinks table, but someone has to serve all evening. Our margarita bar guide has tips.
How the day works
We get there well before you want to serve, then set up and prepare everything. Guests come up to order when service opens. A Christmas party in Markbeech with a hired food truck will be in the dark from about 3:55pm, so choose a well-lit spot for the truck or trailer. At midsummer, sunset is around 9:20pm.
- Share your plans for the event.
