Food truck hire for Stone Hill events
About our food truck hire in Stone Hill
Food truck hire means our food truck or trailer is booked for your guests only. Unlike a stall at a festival or market, it’s a private hire, so the menu and timings are set around your event. For leaving dos and retirements and wedding receptions, we’ll put together a menu of vegan tacos, burrito bowls and quesadillas and more.
Somewhere as small as Stone Hill, 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. Guests are served from our truck or trailer, or from a serving table nearby, and we plan the service around your numbers.

Around Stone Hill, historic houses include Westenhanger Castle (2.2 miles south-east). Listed venues often control where vehicles go, so raise food truck hire at your first visit. After a service at a church such as Church of St Mary, a hired food truck at a garden, field or venue nearby can feed everyone. Hiring our food truck for an event near the Kent Downs National Landscape, within about 6 miles of Stone Hill? Country lanes can be narrow and verges soft, so tell us about the route in. With the coast within about 6 miles of Stone Hill, wind is worth planning for. A sheltered, firm spot for the truck or trailer and the queue works best.
Here we cover the TN25 postcode area, and we can cater your event anywhere in it with access for the truck or trailer.

Tacos made to order at the hatch, with a choice of fillings agreed with you.
Salsas and guacamole
Fresh salsas and guacamole, made for your event.
Should I do it myself?
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. Read our guide to taco bars.
You can set up your own drinks table, but someone still has to mix, pour and keep an eye on it all evening. See our margarita bar guide.

Questions from Stone Hill
Can you serve near the sea around Stone Hill?
Yes, as long as the site allows it and the ground is firm. Wind, sand and seafront permissions are the main things to plan on the coast.
We’re having a ceremony at Church of St Mary: can you cater afterwards?
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.
How many guests can you serve?
It depends on the menu and how long service runs, but our truck and trailer service normally suits around 50 to 400 guests. For anything outside that, ask us.
Can we add drinks?
Our Mexican drinks bar can be added to a truck booking, with margaritas, Mexican beer and aguas frescas. We’ll check the licensing with you.
Can you cater for children?
Of course. We can keep dishes mild, and simple options such as quesadillas or nachos can be part of the menu. Tell us how many children are coming.
What does it cost to hire the truck?
Each hire is quoted individually, based on guest numbers, the menu, the location and service times. Contact us for a quote.
What about vegan and gluten-free guests?
There are vegan, vegetarian, dairy-free and gluten-free options, with corn tortillas for gluten-free guests. Allergen information is available for every dish.
When do you arrive?
We get there well before service to set up. The length of service is agreed when you book.
