Planners, venues and businesses
Venues often have their own rules about outside caterers: vehicle access, arrival times and documents. Send us your venue’s requirements and we will follow them.
If you are organising for someone else, whether you’re a planner, an office manager or an event organiser, we’ll work directly with you and the venue. It keeps things simple.
Food truck hire in Pett Bottom, served fresh
Our truck or trailer is available to hire for events across Pett Bottom and nearby. Popular choices include burrito bowls, burritos and loaded nachos, and it suits staff appreciation days and big birthdays.
For a rural spot like Pett Bottom, food truck hire needs a little planning: the gate, the ground and the distance from the lane. We confirm power and water arrangements with you. We arrive ready to serve, and clear our own area when service is finished.
Planning for every diet
A little planning makes sure everyone can eat. Here’s how:
- Have shelter ready in case of rain
- Check parking and loading rules for street locations
- Measure gates and look for low branches on the way in
- Tell us about coeliac guests
If your timings move, let us know, and we will work around it.
Loaded nachos to share while the first orders cook.
Questions from Pett Bottom
What’s the nearest station to Pett Bottom for guests?
Bekesbourne station, about 3 miles north-east of the centre.
Could you serve our guests after a service at Church of St Mary?
Yes. The church itself is not where we’d set up, but a hall, field or garden close by with room for the truck or trailer can work well. Let us know the reception address and we’ll check the access.
What’s on the menu?
We agree a sample menu with each client. Fillings might include chicken tinga, pork carnitas, al pastor-style pork and vegan options like black beans. See our menu for ideas.
Do you clear up afterwards?
We pack down and tidy our own area after service. Ask us if you’d like help with anything else.
Do you sell to the public at private events?
A private hire is booked and quoted for you, and we don’t sell to the public. Event organisers should see street food for festivals.
How much does food truck hire cost?
Each hire is quoted individually, depending on numbers, menu, location and timings. Contact us for a quote.
Do you cater for dietary needs?
We plan for diets before the day, though we cannot guarantee there are no traces of any allergen. Anyone with a severe allergy should contact us before the event.
How many guests can the truck serve?
Hiring the truck or trailer typically suits around 50 to 400 guests. Smaller gatherings are looked at case by case.
What we need at the venue
The route in matters as much as the spot itself. We look for:
- Parking arrangements if we are not on private land
- A flat parking spot on firm ground or hardstanding
- Room for guests to gather at the hatch

Food truck hire or something else?
Hog roasts are popular with meat eaters, but a Mexican menu covers vegan, gluten-free and dairy-free guests more easily. There is 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.
