About our food truck hire in Newenden
We cook inside our food truck or trailer, so there’s no need for kitchen space at the venue. What we do need is level ground, a way in and the venue’s agreement. For engagements and anniversaries and private outdoor parties, we can serve burrito bowls, loaded nachos and burritos for your guests.

Why choose food truck hire in Newenden?
Hiring a food truck is different from finding one at a festival. At a festival we trade to the public; when you hire us, we serve only your guests, on your timings. What’s on the menu makes a difference to the total, so tell us what you have in mind. We’ll suggest options to suit your budget.
What we offer in Newenden
- A menu agreed with you
- We cover Newenden and the whole of Kent
- Menus for vegan, vegetarian, dairy-free and gluten-free guests
- Food and drinks from one caterer, if you want both
Why choose food truck hire in Newenden?
Guests can come back to the hatch when they’re ready.
A truck or trailer suits almost any gathering. In Newenden, you could book us for events such as:
- Wedding receptions
- End-of-year parties
- Leaving parties
- Client events and product launches
When the service is at a church such as Parish Church of St Peter, the truck would serve at the reception venue rather than at the church.
What to look for in a quote
- Whether plates, napkins and cutlery are included
- Travel and parking costs
- How late numbers can change
- The caterer’s food hygiene rating
Before you choose a spot
The route in matters as much as the spot itself. We look for:
- Enough width and height on the route in
- A place for guests to eat close to the hatch
- Firm, level ground or hardstanding where the truck or trailer can park
If you are unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think.
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.
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.

Early, particularly for summer Saturdays. Ask about your date even if it is soon.
