Food truck hire near Petham
Food truck hire in Petham, served fresh
Fillings might include carnitas, al pastor-style pork or chicken tinga, alongside a vegan option such as spiced mushroom. There are options for gluten-free, dairy-free, vegetarian and vegan guests. Popular choices include vegan tacos, fresh salsas and guacamole and loaded nachos, and it suits end-of-year parties and staff appreciation days.
In a small place like Petham, a hired food truck might park in a garden, paddock or field. Lanes, gates and long drives are fine if we know about them. Soft ground after rain is worth mentioning too. We serve from the hatch of our food truck or trailer, or from a serving station, and we plan the service around your numbers.
Organising for someone else?
If your event is in a public space, such as a park, check what permission you need first. We can send what the landowner or council needs from us.
If you run the same event each year, tell us your dates early, so we can plan ahead.
Your questions about food truck hire in Petham
Do you cater in villages like Petham?
Yes. Villages and hamlets are part of our area, and the main thing is access: tell us about the lane, the gate and the ground.
Do you come to events 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.
What’s on the menu?
We agree a sample menu with each client. Fillings could include slow-cooked pork carnitas, chicken tinga, beef birria and vegan options such as spiced mushrooms or black beans. Our sample menu has more ideas.
Is the food suitable for children?
Yes, children are welcome. Tell us how many and roughly how old, and we’ll suggest mild options.
How soon do we need to book?
The sooner the better. Popular dates go first, so get in touch early.
Can you do gluten-free food?
Yes, we offer gluten-free options, using corn tortillas. Tell us about any coeliac guests before the event so we can explain how we prepare their food.
How much does food truck hire cost?
Each hire is quoted individually, based on guest numbers, the menu, the location and service times. Contact us for a quote.
Is food truck hire good for weddings?
We can serve from the truck for the wedding meal, the evening or both. Timings are agreed with you and your venue. See our food truck wedding guide.
Dietary needs and planning tips
Dietary needs are easy to plan for with a little notice. We suggest:
- Give us separate numbers for children
- Confirm allergies with us in writing
- Look into parking permissions if the truck can’t go off-road
- Flag any coeliac guests
If your timings move, let us know.
Ask us about evening food later on.
Can I do a taco night myself?
If you do it yourself, work out quantities first: see how many tacos per person. Keep tortillas warm in a covered basket, and label dishes for guests with allergies.
You can host your own taco night for a crowd, but it takes planning. There are fillings to slow-cook, tortillas to keep warm and salsas to make. Our taco bar guide explains how.
Planning the serving area
If a space is not suitable, we will tell you. What matters most:
- Level, solid ground for the vehicle
- A parking suspension, where a street spot is needed
- Somewhere for guests to sit or stand and eat
Not sure about your space? Send us a picture and we will tell you honestly before booking.

Food truck hire or something else?
A marquee kitchen with plated service needs more space, more staff and more time. Our food truck or trailer brings the kitchen and serves from one hatch, needing level ground, access and the venue’s permission. There’s no one-size-fits-all price for food truck hire. A simple party menu and a full wedding day are very different jobs. Your quote sets it all out.
