How our food truck hire works in Reculver
Everyone orders at the hatch and gets food cooked to order. It keeps things easy and relaxed for guests and hosts. For garden parties and staff summer parties, we can serve quesadillas, burritos and fresh salsas and guacamole for your guests.
In a rural place like Reculver, access is the main thing to plan for a hired truck: the gate, the ground and the distance from the lane. We confirm power and water arrangements with you. Every guest is catered for, vegan, vegetarian, dairy-free and gluten-free included, and we give allergen information for every dish.
Questions from Reculver
Is it possible to have you in Bishopstone Cliffs?
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 Reculver for guests?
Herne Bay station, about 3.5 miles west of the centre.
Do you cover Reculver?
Yes, we do. We serve at events in Reculver and across Kent. Tell us your date and we will check availability.
What if the weather’s bad?
The truck or trailer can serve in the rain, but your guests will want somewhere covered, such as a marquee, gazebo or nearby building.
How is private hire different from festival trading?
A private hire is booked and quoted for you, and we do not sell to the public. Organisers wanting us to trade at their event can see our festival page.
What do you serve?
Mexican street food: tacos, taco bars, burritos, bowls, nachos and quesadillas, plus salsas, guacamole and toppings. A drinks bar is available too.
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.
When do you arrive?
We arrive in good time to set up before service. The length of service is agreed when you book, along with pack-down.
Dietary needs and planning tips
Mixed diets are straightforward to plan for, because guests can choose what suits them. Here are a few tips for planning:
- Guests with serious allergies should contact us first
- Confirm the venue accepts outside caterers and vehicles
- Ask about parking rules if we’ll be on a road
- Email us any allergies
At the end of service, we close the hatch and pack down and drive off quietly.
Ask us about napkins, plates and cutlery and we’ll confirm what’s possible.

How the day works
A typical event goes like this: we arrive and set up, service opens at the agreed time, and we serve your guests fresh until service ends. December events in Reculver lose the light at about 3:50pm, so choose a well-lit spot for the truck or trailer. At midsummer, sunset is around 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.
- Your guests order at the hatch and we serve hot food at the agreed times.
- After service, we close the hatch, pack down and drive away.
Getting ready for the day
- Let us know the timings for the day

Planning help
What we need at the venue
The route in matters as much as the spot itself. We look for:
- Some space between the truck and nearby homes
- Any parking or loading permission needed for street locations
- Arrangements for power and water, agreed when you book
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and the access, and we will advise.
What food truck hire costs
Each event is quoted on its own, based on a few main things:
- The menu you choose
- The length of service
- Distance and access to the venue
- Whether you need disposables
There’s no one-size-fits-all price for food truck hire. A short lunch service for a team is a different job from a full wedding day. Your quote sets it all out.
Details that help
For a quote, it helps to have:
- What you’d like on the menu
- What power and water the site has
- Your date and when you want service to start
- How we drive in and where we can park
It’s easy to get a price: tell us the date, place, numbers and any dietary needs. We will send you a clear quote.
