Food truck hire in South Darenth, served fresh
Truck and trailer service normally suits around 50 to 400 guests. Smaller gatherings are looked at case by case, so tell us how many you expect. Popular choices include vegan tacos, quesadillas and fresh salsas and guacamole, and it is a good fit for private parties in fields and grounds and launch events.
In a small place like South Darenth, 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. Food and drinks can be booked together or separately, so the food and drinks can come from one caterer.
South Darenth: your questions answered
What’s the nearest station to South Darenth for guests?
Guests can use Farningham Road station, about 0.6 miles west of South Darenth.
Is South Darenth close to London?
About 16 miles from central London, and well within our area.
Can you cater in a back garden?
It depends on access. A drive or a spot nearby may work, with permission, if the garden itself is out of reach. Send us a picture and we will talk it through.
Do you need electricity?
Let us know what’s available on site, for example a supply from the venue, and we’ll confirm what we need with your quote.
How is private hire different from festival trading?
A private hire is booked and quoted for you, and we do not sell to the public. Organisers wanting us to trade at their event can see our festival page.
Do you cover South Darenth?
Yes. We cover London and the South East, including South Darenth. To check your date, tell us about it on our contact page.
Can you cater for guests who avoid dairy?
Yes, we can. Tell us how many guests need dairy-free food, and we will plan the menu around them.
Do you provide allergen information for each dish?
We plan allergen-aware menus, including for nut allergies, and give allergen information for every dish. We plan carefully and keep options separate, though we cannot promise a dish is allergen-free. Guests with severe allergies should talk to us before the event.

What food truck hire costs
We quote for your event, which reflects:
- The number of people
- Whether you add a drinks bar or food
- Staff for serving and the bar
- Parking and the route in
The price depends on guest numbers, the menu and how long you’d like us to serve, plus any add-ons and the location. Every event gets its own quote.
Details that help
To check availability and price, we need:
- What you’d like on the menu
- Expected numbers
- A photo of the space, if it is a garden or field
- The venue or postcode
A detailed enquiry gets a more accurate quote: venue, timings, menu ideas and access. When you are ready, send us your details through our quote form.
What happens on the day
Once service is over, we pack down and clear our own area. Set-up and pack-down times are agreed with you and the venue. December events in South Darenth lose the light at about 3:50pm, so choose a well-lit spot for the truck or trailer. In late June, it stays light until about 9:20pm.
- Ask us whether your date is available.
- You get a menu for the hatch and a quote.
- The spot and the way in are agreed in advance.
- On the day, guests order at the hatch and we cook to order.
- After service, we close up and leave the spot clear.
Getting ready for the day
- Pick a flat, firm spot for us to park
- Arrange somewhere covered for guests to eat
- Confirm the venue allows outside caterers

Catering for every guest
A Mexican menu is easy to plan for mixed diets, because options can be kept separate. Here are a few tips for planning:
- Check gate widths and any height limits
- Ask guests with severe allergies to speak to us beforehand
- Flag any coeliac guests
- Tell us how many children are coming
We drive in at the agreed time and park in the planned spot. It helps if someone can meet us on arrival.
Quesadillas make an easy option for children.
DIY taco night or a caterer?
Some hosts like to do it themselves. 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.
For a small group, a taco night at home can work well. For big numbers or lots of diets, a caterer makes life easier, with allergen information for every dish.
Planners, venues and businesses
Events in public spaces, like parks, typically need permission. We can send what the landowner or council needs from us.
