How our food truck hire works in Rabbit's Cross
Everyone orders at the hatch and gets food cooked to order. It’s simple, quick and sociable for guests and hosts. Popular choices include loaded nachos, vegan tacos and burritos, and it’s a good fit for parties in venue grounds and client events and product launches.
Somewhere as small as Rabbit's Cross, food truck hire can mean a garden, a field or a barn. Tell us about narrow lanes, gates and long drives. Soft ground after rain is worth mentioning too. Access, space and power are agreed with you beforehand, so set-up goes smoothly.
What food truck hire costs
Every event is priced individually, based on a few main things:
- Parking and the route in
- The length of service
- Whether you add a drinks bar or food
- What’s on the menu
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.
What to tell us
To speed things up, tell us:
- Gate widths, slopes and the ground
- The date and time of the event
- Whether you’d like food, drinks or both
- Approximate guest numbers, including children
We need only a few details to quote: the date, where the event is, how many guests and any dietary needs. Contact us for a quote: just drop us a line using the enquiry form.
Can I do a taco night myself?
DIY catering keeps costs down, but the host spends the party serving. With a caterer, you get the food and drinks without the work.
For a small group, a taco night at home can work well. For big numbers or lots of diets, a caterer makes life easier, with allergen information for every dish.
Working with your venue
If you run the same event each year, tell us your dates early, so we can check the date.
If your event is in a public space, such as a park, check what permission you need first. We’ll provide the information the landowner or council asks for from us.
What happens on the day
It is a relaxed, well-organised set-up. Arrival and serving times are agreed beforehand, get the serving area ready, and serve without fuss. A Christmas party in Rabbit's Cross with a hired food truck will be in the dark from about 3:50pm, so ask the venue about outdoor lighting where we will park. In late June, it stays light until about 9:15pm.
- Check our availability for your date.
- We agree a hatch menu and send a quote.
- We confirm the parking spot and the route in.
- On the day, guests order at the hatch and we cook to order.
- After service, we close up and leave the spot clear.

FAQs for Rabbit's Cross
Do you cater 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.
Can we hire your food truck for a private party in Rabbit's Cross?
Yes, depending on the date. For a private or work event in a village or hamlet, the main thing is access: tell us about the lane, the gate and the ground.
When should we book?
As soon as you have a date. Peak dates go quickly, so it pays to ask early.
What’s on the menu?
Mexican street food and drinks: tacos and build-your-own taco bars, burritos, burrito bowls, nachos and quesadillas, plus salsas, guacamole and toppings. We also run a Mexican drinks bar.
Can you cater in a back garden?
That depends on access. If the truck or trailer cannot reach the garden, a drive or a spot nearby may work, with permission. Send us a picture and we’ll talk it through.
How much space do you need?
Access and level ground matter most: a level spot to park, space for guests to queue and a little room for a serving table. Send us a picture and tell us about gates, slopes and soft ground.
Can you serve in the rain?
We can keep serving from the truck or trailer in the rain, but your guests will want somewhere covered, such as a marquee, gazebo or nearby building.
Can you cater for guests who avoid dairy?
Yes, on request. Let us know your dairy-free numbers, and we will include them in the plan.
