How our food truck hire works in Newnham
Service is planned around your timings: a set lunch hour, an evening slot or a few hours through a party. Let us know your running order and we will plan around it. We serve burrito bowls, burritos and fresh salsas and guacamole, and it suits company away days and winter staff parties.
Somewhere as small as Newnham, 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. You will know what’s included before booking: menu, timings and any add-ons.
How we price food truck hire
Two events with the same number of guests can cost different amounts, depending on:
- What the venue already provides
- What’s on the menu
- Parking and the route in
- Timings and hours
What’s on the menu makes a difference to the total, so share your ideas with us. Tell us your budget and we’ll suggest a menu.
What to tell us
These details help us quote quickly:
- Whether you’d like food, drinks or both
- Access for the truck or trailer, including gates and ground
- What power and water the site has
- Diets and allergies you know about
We quote for each event separately, so the price fits what you actually want. For a quote, tell us about it on our contact page.

FAQs for Newnham
Can you bring a truck or trailer to venues 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.
How far is Newnham from central London?
About 41 miles from central London.
What guest numbers do you cater for?
It depends on the event and how long service runs. Most bookings fall around 50 to 400 guests.
Do you sell to the public at private events?
Private hire means we serve only your guests, with a menu and timings you agree with us. At festivals and markets we trade to the public.
What does it cost to hire the truck?
We do not publish set prices, because each hire is different. Tell us your plans and we will quote for your event. See the Mexican catering cost guide for background.
Do you do a taco bar?
Yes. We can set up a build-your-own taco bar, served from the truck or a serving table, with fillings, salsas and toppings to choose from. Read our taco bar guide.
Do you cook on site?
Fillings are slow-cooked in advance, then finished and kept hot on site. Tortillas are warmed on site, and salsas and guacamole are made fresh.
What do you need at the venue?
The main things are access and a level spot: a level spot to park, space for guests to queue and a little room for a serving table. Send us a photo and tell us about gates, slopes and soft ground.
Comparing your options
Most guests have seen a burger van. A Mexican food truck offers something less expected. Extras, such as more dishes, extra drinks or a longer service, are quoted on request, so you choose what goes in.
