Food truck hire near Southfleet
Food truck hire for your event in Southfleet
When you hire our food truck, it serves your guests and nobody else. It is a private booking, not public trading, so the menu and timings are set around your event. We serve quesadillas, loaded nachos and fresh salsas and guacamole, and it is a good fit for company away days and anniversary celebrations.
Somewhere as small as Southfleet, food truck hire can mean a garden, a field or a barn. Tell us about narrow lanes, gates and long drives. Soft ground after rain is worth mentioning too. We plan the timings around your day, whether that is speeches, a lunch break or a festival schedule.
Catering for every guest
Mixed diets are straightforward to plan for, because options can be kept separate. A few tips:
- Tell us when guests should eat
- Email us any allergies
- Check parking and loading rules for street locations
- Check early that your venue allows food trucks
At the end of service, we close the hatch and pack down, leaving our spot tidy.
A taco-bar station can sit next to the truck for a wedding breakfast or lunch.

Is food truck hire right for your event?
Hog roasts are popular with meat eaters, but a Mexican menu covers vegan, gluten-free and dairy-free guests more easily. When you compare quotes, check what each one includes: service time, staff, plates and napkins, travel and VAT. Our quote sets out what’s included.

Prices and what affects them
Two events with the same number of guests can cost different amounts, because of:
- Distance and access to the venue
- Whether you need disposables
- What’s on the menu
- How many guests we are serving
Pricing depends on the event. A simple party menu and a full wedding day are very different jobs. Contact us for a quote.

DIY taco night or a caterer?
A DIY taco night is possible for a crowd, but it is more work than it looks. There are fillings to slow-cook, tortillas to keep warm and salsas to make. Our taco bar guide explains how.
Doing it yourself? Start with the quantities: see how many tacos per person. Keep warmed tortillas covered, and label dishes for guests with allergies.

What we need at the venue
We will be honest if a space won’t work, and help find another spot. The main points are:
- Gate widths, overhead branches and soft ground checked in advance
- Some space between the truck and nearby homes
- A place for guests to eat close to the hatch
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and the access, and we will advise.
Common questions in Southfleet
What’s the nearest station to Southfleet for guests?
Guests can use Longfield station, about 1.5 miles south-west of Southfleet.
Can we hire your food truck for a private party in Southfleet?
Yes, depending on the date. For a private or work event in a village or hamlet, the main thing is access: tell us about the lane, the gate and the ground.
Do you cook on site?
Fillings are slow-cooked in advance, then finished and kept hot on site. Tortillas are warmed on site, and salsas and guacamole are made fresh.

That depends on access. A drive or a spot nearby may work, with permission, if the garden itself is out of reach. Tell us about the space and we will advise.

You hire the truck or trailer for agreed service times. We cook, serve and clear away.
Do you offer a bar with the truck?
You can add our drinks bar, with margaritas, Mexican beer and aguas frescas. Licensing is checked with you.
What space does the truck need?
A firm, level spot, a way in that fits the vehicle, and the venue’s agreement. Power and water are confirmed with each booking.
What access do you need?
Level, firm ground or hardstanding for the truck or trailer, and a route in it can fit through, plus the venue’s permission. We confirm power and water with you for each booking.
