Food truck hire for Mersham events
Food truck hire for your event in Mersham
You could pick fillings such as chicken tinga, carnitas or beef birria, alongside a vegan option such as spiced mushroom. We plan for vegan, vegetarian, dairy-free and gluten-free guests, and corn tortillas suit gluten-free diets. Popular choices include tacos from the hatch, burritos and loaded nachos, which works well for client events and product launches and staff appreciation days.
Somewhere as small as Mersham, food truck hire can mean a garden, a field or a barn. Lanes, gates and long drives are fine if we know about them. Firm ground matters, especially after rain. You’ll know what’s included before you book: menu, timings and any add-ons.
Should I do it myself?
For a small group, a taco night at home can work well. For big numbers or lots of diets, a caterer makes life easier, and handles allergen information for you.
DIY catering keeps costs down, but the host spends the party serving. With a caterer, you get the food and drinks without the work.

Why choose food truck hire in Mersham?
A private hire is not the same as a festival stall. At a festival we trade to the public; when you hire us, we serve only your guests, on your timings. The cost per head can fall as numbers rise, because the set-up is similar for different sizes of event. Tell us your numbers for an accurate price.
