How our food truck hire works in Newtown
Food truck hire means our food truck or trailer is booked for your guests only. It’s a private booking, not public trading, so the menu and timings are set around your event. It works well for end-of-year parties and staff summer parties, with quesadillas, fresh salsas and guacamole and burrito bowls.
For a rural spot like Newtown, food truck hire needs a little planning: 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. You will know what’s included before you book: the menu, the service time and any extras you choose.
DIY taco night versus a caterer
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 be with your guests, we’ll do the serving.
DIY catering keeps costs down, but the host spends the party serving. Booking a caterer means you can relax with everyone else.
Occasions we cater for in Newtown
The truck is yours for the booking, so the queue is your guests only and the menu suits them.
If you are planning any of these, we can help:
- Christenings and family parties
- Back-garden parties
- Client hospitality
- Staff summer parties
Rail travellers will be glad to hear that the nearest station is Hever station, about 1 mile north-west.
Before you book anyone
- The caterer’s food hygiene rating
- VAT, if it applies
- What the price includes, item by item

What happens on the day
Your timings come first. If things run behind, let us know and we will adjust where we can. December events in Newtown lose the light at about 3:55pm, so choose a well-lit spot for the truck or trailer. In late June, it stays light until about 9:20pm.

- We suggest fillings and dishes for every diet.
- We check power, water and timings with the venue.
- Service runs at the times you choose.
- When everyone is fed, we clear our area.
Getting ready for the day

Questions from Newtown
How far is Newtown from London?
Roughly 24 miles from the centre of London, and well within our area.
Can you bring your truck or trailer to Chiddingstone Castle Park and Gardens?
Only if the landowner, often the council, allows it. Ask them first, and we’ll help with the information they need from us.
Can you serve in the rain?
Rain doesn’t normally stop service from the truck or trailer. It is worth planning a covered area for guests, and tell us if heavy rain could make the ground soft.
Can you keep it mild?
It’s up to you: we can keep it mild and put the hotter salsas on the side.
Do you need power and water?
It depends on the event and the set-up, and we agree power and water with you before the day. Let us know whether there’s a supply near where we’ll park.
Do you have gluten-free options?
Yes, we offer gluten-free options, using corn tortillas. Let us know about coeliac guests in advance so we can talk through how their food is prepared. See are corn tortillas gluten-free?
Can you cater for children?
Of course. We can keep dishes mild, and simple options such as quesadillas or nachos can be part of the menu. Tell us how many children are coming.
How long do you serve for?
We get there well before service to set up. The length of service is agreed when you book.
