Food truck hire for your event in Puddledock
Our truck or trailer is available to hire for events across Puddledock and nearby, from gardens to venue grounds and business parks. It suits family reunions and wedding evening food, serving vegan tacos, loaded nachos and quesadillas.
In a small place like Puddledock, 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. You can book food, drinks or both, so the food and drinks can come from one caterer.
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 anything containing allergens.
Doing it yourself saves money, but the host ends up in the kitchen. With a caterer, you get the food and drinks without the work.

Your questions about food truck hire in Puddledock
Can you bring your truck or trailer to Dartford Heath?
Only if the landowner, often the council, allows it. Check with them, and we will provide what they ask for from us.
Will you travel to a small place like Puddledock?
Yes, we cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Let us know about access and parking for the truck or trailer.
Do you have vegan options?
Of course. We can include vegetarian and vegan fillings like black beans or spiced mushrooms.
How long are you on site?
We arrive in good time to set up before service. The length of service is agreed when you book.
How many guests can you serve?
Our truck and trailer service normally suits events of around 50 to 400 guests. Smaller parties are quoted case by case, and festivals can be larger. Send us your numbers and we will advise.
Is the food made fresh?
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.

How does private food truck hire work?
You hire the truck or trailer for agreed service times. We cook to order, serve from the hatch and pack down afterwards.
How the day works
Service is quick and friendly: we serve from the hatch or a serving station, so even a long queue moves. Afterwards we clear our area. By late September, it is dark in Puddledock at around 7:05pm, so evening service from the truck may run past dusk. In late May, daylight lasts until about 8:50pm.
