Planners, venues and businesses
Planning an event for a club, school or charity in Saltwood? A truck or trailer serves a crowd quickly, with options for most diets. Give us the details and we’ll suggest a plan.
Venues often have their own rules about outside caterers: vehicle access, arrival times and documents. Tell us what your venue needs and we will work to it.
How our food truck hire works in Saltwood
Guests walk up to the hatch, order and take their food away hot. It’s simple, quick and sociable. It works well for parties in venue grounds and christenings and family parties, serving vegan tacos, burritos and quesadillas.
For a rural spot like Saltwood, food truck hire needs a little planning: gate widths, soft ground and the route from the road all matter. Power and water may be limited, so we confirm the arrangements before the day. You can book food, drinks or both, so one caterer can cover more of the day.
How it compares
Burger and pizza vans are familiar. Tacos and burritos from a truck feel different while staying easy to eat. Catering from a truck or trailer can be a practical alternative to a sit-down meal, because it needs no venue kitchen. Ask us for a quote.
Why book with us
- Menus chosen with you
- A quote that sets out what’s included
- Everything served fresh from the hatch
- Service planned around your numbers
Planning for every diet
We take diets and allergies seriously. Here’s how you can help:
- Tell us how many children are coming
- Tell us when guests should eat
- Check gate widths and any height limits
- Send allergy details in writing
We arrive in the agreed window and park where we’ve arranged. It helps if someone can meet us on arrival.
Our Mexican drinks bar, with margaritas, Mexican beer and aguas frescas can join the truck, with licensing checked with you.
How it works
When we arrive, we park the truck or trailer in the agreed spot and set up. Service starts at the time we’ve agreed, so everything runs to your schedule. A Christmas party in Saltwood with a hired food truck will be in the dark from about 3:50pm, so choose a well-lit spot for the truck or trailer. In late June, it stays light until about 9:15pm.
- Share your plans for the event.
- We suggest fillings and dishes for every diet.
- Power, water and timings are agreed with you or the venue.
- Service runs at the times you choose.
- When everyone is fed, we clear our area.
Preparing for the day
- Tell us when you want service to start
- Give us a contact for the day
- Arrange somewhere covered for guests to eat
Getting a price
Send us the date, your venue or CT21 postcode and guest numbers, along with any dietary needs, and we will reply with a menu suggestion and a quote. Just send a quick message through our quote form.

DIY taco night or a caterer?
For a small group, a taco night at home can work well. For larger numbers, mixed diets or a wedding, a caterer takes the pressure off, with allergen information for every dish.
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.
