Food truck hire in Staplehurst, served fresh
When you hire our food truck, it serves your guests and nobody else. Unlike a stall at a festival or market, it is a private hire, so the menu and timings are set around your event. For end-of-year celebrations and retirement parties, we can serve fresh salsas and guacamole, burrito bowls and tacos from the hatch.
Around Staplehurst, a hired food truck can serve in a garden, a field or a hall car park. If the road in is narrow or the ground soft, tell us so we can plan. Guests are served from our truck or trailer, or from a serving table nearby, and we plan the service around your numbers.
Diets, allergies and planning
Nearly every event has some special diets. To plan for them:
- Flag any coeliac guests
- Agree service times with us
- Plan a covered area for guests to eat
- Ask guests with severe allergies to speak to us beforehand
We drive in at the agreed time and park in the planned spot. Someone on site to meet us makes it smoother.
Ask us about napkins, plates and cutlery and we will confirm the options in your quote.
DIY taco night versus 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.

Yes, at a garden, field or venue nearby where the truck or trailer can park. We’d serve at the reception venue rather than at the church itself. Send us the reception address.

We do, where the venue allows a catering vehicle. Lanes can be narrow and ground soft, so tell us how we’d get in.
Do you take everything away?
We clear our own area when service is finished. For anything beyond that, such as guests’ tables, ask us.
Which areas do you serve?
London and South East England: Greater London, Kent and Medway, Surrey, East Sussex, West Sussex, Hampshire, the Isle of Wight, Berkshire, Buckinghamshire and Oxfordshire.
How long do you serve for?
We arrive in good time to set up before service. Serving times are agreed with you in advance.
How much is food truck hire?
There’s no fixed price list, as every booking is different. Tell us your plans and we will quote for your event. See the Mexican catering cost guide for background.
Do you need power and water?
Tell us what the site has, for example a supply from the venue, and we’ll confirm the arrangements with your quote.
