Food truck hire near Park Wood
Common questions in Park Wood
Can you bring your truck or trailer to Mote Park?
It depends on the park’s owner, who would need to agree to a catering vehicle on site. Ask them first; if they say yes, we’ll send what they need from us.
What’s the nearest station to Park Wood for guests?
Guests can use Maidstone West station, about 2.6 miles north-west of Park Wood.
Do you do margaritas?
Yes, we run a Mexican drinks bar, with margaritas, Mexican beer, aguas frescas and soft drinks. Your venue or event may need the right licence for alcohol, so we’ll go through the licensing with you.
Do you provide allergen information for each dish?
We plan allergen-aware menus, including for nut allergies, and give allergen information for every dish. We plan carefully and keep options separate, though we cannot promise a dish is allergen-free. Guests with severe allergies should talk to us before the event.
Do you cover Park Wood?
We do. Park Wood is one of the places we cover. Tell us your date and we will check availability.
Do you cater for coeliacs?
We can, using corn tortillas. Corn tortillas are naturally gluten-free, but some fillings, sauces and toppings may not be, so we plan gluten-free dishes carefully and give allergen information.
What guest numbers do you cater for?
Truck and trailer service generally suits around 50 to 400 guests. Smaller parties are quoted case by case.
Do you cook on site?
We slow-cook fillings ahead, then finish them and keep them hot at your event. The tortillas are warmed on site, and the salsas and guacamole are made fresh.
Food truck hire for your event in Park Wood
When you hire our food truck, it serves your guests and nobody else. Unlike a stall at a festival or market, it is a private hire, so we plan the menu and service times around you. On the menu are burrito bowls, vegan tacos and fresh salsas and guacamole, and it’s a good fit for launch events and staff summer parties.
For a place the size of Park Wood, food truck hire at your own home is often simplest: no venue to book, and guests order straight from the hatch. Tell us about the lane and the drive. You can book food, drinks or both, so one caterer can cover more of the day.
Working with your venue
For big numbers, we plan service to keep queues short, so guests are looked after quickly. Tell us how long you have for food and drinks.
If you run the same event each year, tell us your dates early, so we can plan ahead.

Food truck hire in Park Wood: local tips
Park Wood is about 2 miles south-east of Maidstone, in Kent. Anywhere in ME15, we can bring the truck or trailer to you. Park Wood is one of 922 towns and villages in Kent where we can bring food truck hire.
When the service is at a church such as St Martin's Church, the truck would serve at the reception venue rather than at the church. A food truck in Mote Park would need the park owner’s agreement, so check that first. The Kent Downs National Landscape is within about 5 miles of Park Wood, with country venues and gardens where a hired food truck could serve. Some venues in protected landscapes have rules on vehicles, so check with yours.

DIY taco night versus a caterer
Running your own drinks table is one option, but someone still has to mix, pour and keep an eye on it all evening. See our margarita bar guide.
If you do it yourself, work out quantities first: see how many tacos per person. Keep warmed tortillas covered, and label anything containing allergens.
How it works
On the day, we position the truck or trailer and get the serving area ready. We’re ready to serve at the agreed time, so everything runs to your schedule. A Christmas party in Park Wood with a hired food truck will be in the dark from about 3:50pm, so choose a well-lit spot for the truck or trailer. In late June, it stays light until about 9:15pm.
- Tell us the date, the location, rough numbers and any diets.
- We check availability and send a menu and a quote for hiring the truck or trailer.
- Where the truck or trailer will stand, the route in, and power and water are all agreed in advance.
- We arrive, open the hatch and cook to order for your guests.
- Once guests are fed, we clear our area and head off.
Preparing for the day
