Dietary needs and planning tips
A Mexican menu is easy to plan for mixed diets, because options can be kept separate. A few tips:
- Ask guests with severe allergies to speak to us beforehand
- Walk the access route and note narrow gaps
- Count children separately
- Ask about parking rules if we will be on a road
If your timings move, let us know, and we’ll work around it.
Ask us about evening food later on, quoted with the main booking.
Food truck hire in Stanford, served fresh
Service is planned around your timings: a set lunch hour, an evening slot or a few hours through a party. Let us know your running order and we’ll plan around it. It suits private outdoor parties and back-garden parties, with burritos, loaded nachos and fresh salsas and guacamole.
Somewhere as small as Stanford, food truck hire can mean a garden, a field or a barn. Tell us about narrow lanes, gates and long drives. Firm ground matters, especially after rain. Access, space and power are agreed with you beforehand, so there are no surprises on arrival.

Doing it yourself? Start with the quantities: see how many tacos per person. Keep warmed tortillas covered, and label dishes for guests with allergies.

Common questions in Stanford
Can you cater a reception after a service at All Saints Church?
Yes. The church itself isn’t where we’d set up, but a hall, field or garden close by with room for the truck or trailer can work well. Let us know the reception address and we’ll check the access.
Can we hire your food truck for a private party in Stanford?
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 offer a bar with the truck?
We bring bar staff with the drinks bar and alcohol-free choices. We’ll talk through licensing first.
How long do you serve for?
We get there well before service to set up. The length of service is agreed when you book.
Can you do gluten-free food?
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.
How much does food truck hire cost?
We quote for every hire, based on guest numbers, the menu, the location and service times. For a price, fill in our quote form.
Is the truck suitable for a large group?
Truck and trailer service usually suits around 50 to 400 guests. Smaller gatherings are looked at case by case.
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’ll talk it through.

How the day works
We need a level, firm spot we can drive the truck or trailer onto, and we agree power and water arrangements before the day. Send us a picture of the space if you’re unsure. A hired food truck at a summer event in Stanford can serve in daylight until about 9:15pm at midsummer, while late September brings sunset forward to around 7:00pm. In December it’s dark by about 3:50pm, so the queue by the hatch needs lighting.
- Share your plans for the event.
- Together we plan dishes that cover your guests’ diets.
- We check power, water and timings with the venue.
- The truck serves at the agreed times.
- Once service ends, we tidy up and go.
How to prepare
- Plan a covered area for guests if rain is likely
- Let us know who to talk to on the day

We cover 922 places in Kent. Our truck and trailer cover the area from Stanford to Canterbury (about 12 miles away).
Parks such as Sandling Park generally need permission for vehicles and catering, so a garden or hired venue is often simpler. Historic houses near Stanford include Westenhanger Castle (0.6 miles south-west) and Acrise Place (4.8 miles north-east). Listed venues often control where vehicles go, so raise food truck hire at your first visit. The Kent Downs National Landscape is within about 5 miles of Stanford, with country venues and gardens where a hired food truck could serve. Some venues in protected landscapes have rules on vehicles, so check with yours. With the coast within about 3 miles of Stanford, wind is worth planning for. A sheltered, firm spot for the truck or trailer and the queue works best.
