About our food truck hire in Smarden
We serve when you want us to: a set lunch hour, an evening slot or a few hours through a party. Tell us when guests should eat. It suits winter staff parties and wedding receptions, serving tacos from the hatch, burritos and burrito bowls.
In a small place like Smarden, a hired food truck might park in a garden, paddock or field. Lanes, gates and long drives are fine if we know about them. Firm ground matters, especially after rain. You can book food, drinks or both, so the food and drinks can come from one caterer.
Diets, allergies and planning
Good planning keeps every guest safe and happy. Here’s how:
- Tell us when guests should eat
- Send allergy details in writing
- Have shelter ready in case of rain
- Tell us how many children are coming
We keep allergen information for every dish at the hatch, so guests can ask before ordering.
Nachos for sharing at the start.

Organising for someone else?
If you’re booking for a business, tell us what your finance team needs, and we will talk you through the process. We can work with your facilities team on access and timings.
Planners and coordinators can contact us directly, and we’ll keep you updated on timings and set-up.
DIY taco night or a caterer?
Plenty of people try a DIY taco night at home. The usual problems are cold tortillas, running out of a popular filling and a host stuck at the stove. If you’d rather enjoy the party, let us serve.
If you do it yourself, work out quantities first: our guide to how many tacos per person helps. Keep warmed tortillas covered, and label anything containing allergens.
