Food truck hire for your event in South Stour
Guests walk up to the hatch, order and take their food away hot. It is simple, quick and sociable for guests and hosts. It suits birthday parties and retirement parties, with loaded nachos, fresh salsas and guacamole and tacos from the hatch.
In a rural place like South Stour, access is the main thing to plan for a hired truck: the gate, the ground and the distance from the lane. Power and water may be limited, so we confirm the arrangements before the day. We serve from the hatch of our food truck or trailer, or from a serving station, and we plan the service around your numbers.
South Stour questions
Do you cater in the Kent Downs National Landscape?
Yes. Some venues there have rules about vehicles, ground and catering, so check with yours. We will follow the site rules.
Could we book your food truck for a private event in South Stour?
Yes, subject to the date and access for the truck or trailer. Let us know about access and where we’d park.
Do you have gluten-free options?
Yes, with corn tortillas. Corn tortillas are naturally gluten-free, but some fillings, sauces and toppings may not be, so we check every dish and give allergen information.
Do you do a taco bar?
Yes, a taco bar is one of our options. Tell us about your space and numbers and we will suggest the best set-up.
Where can the truck park?
Tell us where you’d like the truck, and we will check it works. There’s more in our space and power guide.
Is private hire the same as trading at a festival?
A private hire is booked and quoted for you, and we don’t sell to the public. Organisers wanting us to trade at their event can see our festival page.
What happens if it rains?
We can keep serving from the truck or trailer in the rain, but guests need somewhere covered to eat and drink, like a marquee or gazebo.
Can you keep it mild?
The food can be kept mild, with hotter salsas on the side for anyone who wants more heat.
Prices and what affects them
Two events with the same number of guests can cost different amounts, because of:
- Food, drinks or both
- Parking and the route in
- Serving staff
- The length of service
If you have a budget in mind, tell us, and we will suggest a menu to match. A simple menu can still feel generous.
Details that help
Here’s what makes a quick, accurate quote possible:
- What you’d like on the menu

Working with your venue
Many venues have rules for outside caterers: vehicle access, arrival times and documents. Send us your venue’s requirements and we’ll follow them.
If you run the same event each year, tell us your dates early, so we can plan ahead.

Planning the serving area
We will be honest if a space won’t work, and help find another spot. What matters most:
- Level, solid ground for the vehicle
- Some space between the truck and nearby homes
- Space in front of the hatch for guests to queue
If you are unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think.
