Food truck hire for Sandling events
Food truck hire for your event in Sandling
You choose the hatch menu with us: tacos, burritos, burrito bowls, loaded nachos or quesadillas, with fresh salsas and guacamole. At engagements and anniversaries and weddings, we’ll put together a menu of loaded nachos, burrito bowls and tacos from the hatch.
For a rural spot like Sandling, food truck hire needs a little planning: gate widths, soft ground and the route from the road all matter. We confirm power and water arrangements with you. Timings are planned around your event, so service starts when you want it.
The menu, item by item
Loaded nachos
A tray of nachos works as a starter or a late snack.
Salsas and guacamole
Salsas and guacamole finish every order, from mild to hot.
Should I do it myself?
You can set up your own drinks table, but someone has to serve all evening. Our margarita bar guide has tips.
A DIY taco night is possible for a crowd, but it’s more work than it looks. Fillings need slow cooking, tortillas need warming as you go, and salsas need making. Read our guide to taco bars.
FAQs for Sandling
Can you cater a reception after a service at St Paul's Church?
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 is closest to Sandling?
Guests can use Maidstone East station, about 1.4 miles south of Sandling.
Do you need electricity?
That depends on the set-up, and we agree power and water with you before the day. Let us know whether there’s a supply near where we’ll park.
How much space do you need?
Access and level ground matter most: a firm spot for the truck or trailer, room for a queue and, for a taco bar, space for a serving table. If in doubt, send us a picture of the space and the way in.
How does private food truck hire work?
You book the truck or trailer for set hours at your event. We cook, serve and clear away.
What if the weather’s bad?
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.
Is the food made fresh?
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.
Do you have options for kids?
Of course. Mild dishes, quesadillas and nachos can be part of the menu. Tell us how many children are coming.
For event organisers in Sandling
For larger events, we plan serving points around your timings, so everyone is served promptly. Tell us how long you have for food and drinks.

We can help if you’re planning any of the following:

- Big birthdays
- Private outdoor parties

When the service is at a church such as St Paul's Church, the truck would serve at the reception venue rather than at the church.

How the day works
The truck or trailer tends to draw a crowd, so we will help you choose a spot with room for a queue. We can serve in the rain, though guests will want somewhere covered to stand or sit. Late-September events in Sandling see sunset at about 7:00pm, so evening service from the truck may run past dusk. A late-May event keeps its light until roughly 8:50pm.
- First come the basics: date, location, numbers and diets.
- We suggest a menu for the hatch and quote for it.
- 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.
- When service ends, we pack up and leave the spot clear.
Getting ready for the day
- Find out what power and water are available
- Arrange somewhere covered for guests to eat
- Tell us about narrow gates or low branches
