About our food truck hire in Royal Tunbridge Wells
Guests walk up to the hatch, order and take their food away hot. It keeps things easy and relaxed for guests and hosts. We serve burritos, loaded nachos and burrito bowls, and it suits summer parties at home and wedding receptions.
In Royal Tunbridge Wells, drives and gardens vary a lot, and the question is whether the truck or trailer can reach a level spot. A nearby car park can also work, with permission. Guests are served from our food truck or trailer, or from a serving table nearby, and we plan service so the queue keeps moving.
Planning the serving area
Plenty of outdoor spaces and venues work for us, but a few things matter:
- Seating or standing room near the truck
- A parking suspension, where a street spot is needed
- A way in wide and high enough for the vehicle
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and the access, and we will advise.
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 dishes for guests with allergies.
Weighing up a DIY taco night against a caterer? Think about numbers, diets and how much you want to enjoy the day. Ask us for a quote and compare.

FAQs for Royal Tunbridge Wells
What’s the nearest station to Royal Tunbridge Wells for guests?
The closest is Tunbridge Wells station, roughly 0.5 miles away.
Could you serve our guests after a service at Parish Church of St Barnabas?
Yes, at a nearby garden, marquee or hall with access for the truck or trailer. We’d serve at the reception venue rather than at the church itself. Send us the reception address.
How soon do we need to book?
The sooner the better. Peak dates go quickly, so contact us early.
Do you have vegan options?
Of course. We can include vegetarian and vegan fillings like black beans or spiced mushrooms.
Can you do gluten-free food?
Yes, with corn tortillas. Corn tortillas are naturally gluten-free, but some fillings, sauces and toppings may not be, so we plan gluten-free dishes carefully and give allergen information.
Is food truck hire good for weddings?
A food truck suits a relaxed wedding well, especially in the evening. We’ll check access and timings with your venue.
Do you do parties at home?
That depends on access. If the truck or trailer can’t reach the garden, a drive or a spot nearby may work, with permission. Tell us about the space and we will advise.
How much space do you need?
The main things are access and a level spot: 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.
Working with your venue
Venues often have their own rules about outside caterers: where vehicles can park, access times and the paperwork they need. Tell us what your venue needs and we will work to it.
Planners and coordinators can contact us directly, and we’ll keep everyone informed on the day.
Diets, allergies and planning
Good planning keeps every guest safe and happy. Here’s how:
- Ask guests with severe allergies to speak to us beforehand
- Tell us about coeliac guests
- Think about cover if the weather turns
- Walk the access route and note narrow gaps
The hatch opens at the time you choose, and we cook each order as it comes.
Ask us about napkins, plates and cutlery and we will confirm the options in your quote.
