DIY taco night versus a caterer
A DIY taco night works well for a small group. For big numbers or lots of diets, a caterer makes life easier, with allergen information for every dish.
Doing it yourself? Start with the quantities: our guide to how many tacos per person helps. Keep warmed tortillas covered, and label anything containing allergens.
About our food truck hire in Sandwich
You could pick fillings such as chicken tinga, carnitas or beef birria, alongside a vegan option such as spiced mushroom. There are options for gluten-free, dairy-free, vegetarian and vegan guests, and corn tortillas suit gluten-free diets. At staff appreciation days and wedding receptions, we can serve quesadillas, tacos from the hatch and burrito bowls and more.
In and around Sandwich, our food truck or trailer can work at home, in a field or at a hall. If the road in is narrow or the ground soft, tell us so we can plan. Timings are planned around your event, whether that’s speeches, a lunch break or a festival schedule.
For event organisers in Sandwich
Throwing a party at home? Send a picture of the space and tell us about access, and we will tell you honestly whether a truck or trailer will fit.
For big numbers, we plan service to keep queues short, so everyone is served promptly. Let us know how long the break is.
How we price food truck hire
The same guest numbers can mean different prices, depending on:
- Distance and access to the venue
- How many staff you need
- The menu you choose
- The number of people
Extra dishes, drinks and longer service are priced on request, so you choose what goes in.
What we need to know
Here’s what makes a quick, accurate quote possible:
- Expected numbers
- Diets and allergies you know about
- A picture of where we’d park
- The date and time of the event
Each quote is tailored to your event. Tell us your date and guest numbers, and we’ll confirm whether we’re available that day.
Hiring a food truck in Sandwich
Sandwich is about 5 miles north-west of Deal, in Kent. Across the CT13 area, we can serve your guests. We cover all 922 towns and villages in Kent. Our truck and trailer cover the area from Sandwich to Canterbury (about 11 miles away).
Guests leaving a church like Sandwich United Reformed Church could walk or drive to a nearby garden or hall where the truck is ready. A food truck in Ham Fen would need the park owner’s agreement, so check that first. With the sea within about 5 miles, a hired food truck at a seaside venue is an option. The truck or trailer needs firm ground rather than sand or shingle, and seafront spots usually need permission.
Wherever your event is in CT13, we can bring food truck hire to you. Streets in the area include Cattle Market, Market Street and High Street, and an event on any of them can work if the truck or trailer can park nearby. If your venue is just outside Sandwich, we also cover Great Stonar (1 mile north), Felderland (1 mile south), Worth (1 mile south), Woodnesborough (1 mile south-west) and Statenborough (1 mile south-west). Within a short drive, we also cover Canterbury (11 miles west), Margate (8 miles north), Dover (10 miles south), Folkestone (15 miles south-west), Ramsgate (5 miles north-east) and Broadstairs (7 miles north-east).
Well-known places in the area include The Precinct Toy Collection (under half a mile north) and Ramsgate General Hospital (5 miles north-east). Not far away are Monk's Wall nature reserve.
- Nearby schools include Sir Roger Manwood's School (under half a mile east)
- Local pubs include The Red Cow Public House (under half a mile north)
How the day works
Serving is quick: we serve from the hatch or a serving station, so even a long queue moves. Afterwards we clear our area. By late September, it is dark in Sandwich at around 7:00pm, so a later service will need some lighting. In late May, daylight lasts until about 8:45pm.
- First come the basics: date, location, numbers and diets.
- We check availability and send a menu and a quote for hiring the truck or trailer.
- We confirm the parking spot, access, power and water with you or the venue.
- On the day we drive in, set up and serve to order from the hatch.
- When service ends, we pack up and leave the spot clear.
Getting ready for the day
- Get the venue’s permission for us to park and serve
- Ask the venue about power and water
- Send us final numbers and dietary needs in good time

FAQs for Sandwich
Could you come to a seaside event near Sandwich?
Yes, as long as the site allows it and the ground is firm. Seafront and beach spots generally need permission, and wind is the main thing to plan for.
Is it possible to have you in Ham Fen?
Only with permission from whoever runs the park, often the council. Ask them first, and we will help with the information they need from us.
Where can the truck park?
Tell us where you’d like the truck, and we will check the access. Our guide to space and power has more.
Do you cater for dietary needs?
We plan for diets before the day, but we cannot promise an allergen-free kitchen. Anyone with a severe allergy should contact us before the event.
What access do you need?
Level, firm ground or hardstanding for the truck or trailer, and a route in it can fit through, and the venue’s agreement. We confirm power and water with you for each booking.
Can guests build their own tacos?
Yes, a taco bar is one of the ways we serve. Let us know your numbers and space and we’ll suggest the best set-up.
Is the food very hot?
That is your choice: we can keep it mild and put the hotter salsas on the side. Read more about how spicy Mexican food is.
Can you run a bar?
Yes, we do. Our drinks bar can be booked on its own or with food. For alcohol, we’ll check the licensing with you and your venue.
Dietary needs and planning tips
We cater for gluten-free, dairy-free, vegetarian and vegan guests. To make it work smoothly:
- Look into parking permissions if the truck cannot go off-road
- Let us know who is coeliac
- Collect diets and allergies with your RSVPs
- Check gate widths and any height limits
At the end of service, we close the hatch and pack down.
Add a build-your-own taco bar beside the truck.
