Food truck hire for Rochester events
Food truck hire in Rochester, from our truck or trailer
Our food truck or trailer is available to hire for events across Rochester and nearby. It works well for client events and product launches and winter staff parties, serving burrito bowls, tacos from the hatch and burritos.
Drives and gardens in Rochester come in all sizes, and the question is whether the truck or trailer can reach a level spot. If it cannot, a car park nearby may work, with permission. Timings are planned around your event, so service starts when you want it.
Before you choose a spot
No two venues are the same, so we ask about the space before we confirm. In general, we need:
- Power and water details confirmed in advance
- Seating or standing room near the truck
- A flat parking spot on firm ground or hardstanding
If you are unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think before booking.
On the menu in Rochester
- Burritos
- Quesadillas
- Mexican drinks bar
- Loaded nachos
- Burrito bowls

For event organisers in Rochester
Events in public spaces, like parks, normally need permission. We can send what the landowner or council needs from us.
If you’re planning an event on someone’s behalf, whether you are a planner, an office manager or an event organiser, we will work directly with you and the venue. It saves passing messages back and forth.
Questions from Rochester
Could you serve our guests after a service at Church of St Nicholas?
Yes. The church itself isn’t 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 will check the access.
Which station should guests use for Rochester?
Guests can use Rochester station, which is right in Rochester.
How much is a food truck for an event?
It depends on guest numbers, the menu, the length of service and the location. Send us the details for a quote.
Do you offer a bar with the truck?
We bring bar staff with the drinks bar. Alcohol needs the right licence, which we’ll check with you.
Can you cater for guests who avoid dairy?
Yes, on request. Let us know your dairy-free numbers, and we will plan the menu around them.
Can you cater for special diets?
There are vegan, vegetarian, dairy-free and gluten-free options, and corn tortillas suit gluten-free guests. Allergen information is available for every dish.
What if the weather’s bad?
Rain doesn’t usually stop service from the truck or trailer. Plan cover for guests, such as a marquee or gazebo, and tell us if heavy rain could make the ground soft.
Is the truck suitable for a large group?
Truck and trailer service generally suits around 50 to 400 guests. Smaller parties are quoted case by case.
Prices and what affects them
Two events with the same number of guests can cost different amounts, depending on:
- Food, drinks or both
- Travel, parking and access
- What the venue already provides
- Guest numbers
The cost per head can fall as numbers rise, because the set-up is similar for different sizes of event. Give us your numbers and we will quote.
What to tell us
Good planning starts with a few facts. Please include:
- A picture of the space, if it is a garden or field
- Approximate guest numbers, including children
- The date and time of the event
- Any dietary needs and allergies
Still deciding on the menu? No problem: tell us about the occasion and the guests, and we’ll suggest a menu. When you are ready, tell us about it on our contact page.
