How our food truck hire works in Stowting Common
We bring the truck or trailer to private and work events in and around Stowting Common: gardens, venue grounds, car parks and business parks. It works well for family reunions and anniversary celebrations, with burritos, quesadillas and loaded nachos.
Somewhere as small as Stowting Common, 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. We arrive ready to serve, and clear our own area when service is finished.
What affects the price in Stowting Common
Pricing is straightforward once we know the basics:
- Whether you need disposables
- How many staff you need
- Food, drinks or both
- What’s on the menu
The cost per head can fall as numbers rise, since the set-up is much the same either way. Give us your numbers and we’ll quote.
What to tell us
A few details help us give you an accurate quote. Here’s what to include:
- Your menu ideas
- Approximate guest numbers, including children
- The address or venue name
- Diets and allergies you know about
Not sure what you need yet? That is fine: give us the basics about your event, and we will suggest a menu. When you are ready, send us your details through our quote form.
Planning for every diet
We take diets and allergies seriously. Help us by following these steps:
- Flag any coeliac guests
- Tell us how many children are coming
- Ask guests about dietary needs when they reply
- Guests with serious allergies should contact us first
We keep allergen information for every dish at the hatch.
Margaritas, Mexican beer and aguas frescas from our drinks bar can be added to the booking, with licensing checked with you.
Questions from Stowting Common
We are having a ceremony at Church of St Mary: can you cater afterwards?
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 will check the access.
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’ll follow the site rules.
Can you cater for special diets?
Diets are planned with you in advance, but we can’t promise an allergen-free kitchen. Anyone with a severe allergy should contact us before the event.
How is the food prepared?
Fillings are slow-cooked in advance, then finished and kept hot on site. The tortillas are warmed on site, and the salsas and guacamole are made fresh.
Can you do dairy-free food?
We can. We offer dairy-free options, and we will tell you which dishes contain milk.
What about power on site?
Let us know what’s available on site, such as a supply from the venue near where we will park, and we will confirm what we need with your quote.
How does food truck hire work?
You hire the truck or trailer for agreed service times. We cook to order, serve from the hatch and pack down afterwards.
What access do you need?
Access and level ground matter most: a firm spot for the truck or trailer, room for a queue and, for a taco bar, space for a serving table. If in doubt, send us a picture of the space and the way in.

Stowting Common is about 6 miles north of Hythe, in Kent. Across the TN25 area, we’ll come to your venue or site. We cater in 922 places in Kent, from the larger towns to small villages. Our truck and trailer cover the area from Stowting Common to Canterbury (9 miles away).
Parks such as Spong Wood usually need permission for vehicles and catering, so a garden or hired venue is often simpler. Roughly 54 miles separate Stowting Common from central London. Hiring our food truck for an event near the Kent Downs National Landscape, within about 4 miles of Stowting Common? Country lanes can be narrow and verges soft, so tell us about the route in. With the coast within about 6 miles of Stowting Common, wind is worth planning for. A sheltered, firm spot for the truck or trailer and the queue works best.
Anywhere in TN25, we can bring food truck hire to you. Streets in the area include Brabourne Lane and Stowting Hill, and an event on any of them can work if the truck or trailer can park nearby.

Events we cater in Stowting Common
Guests can come back to the hatch when they’re ready, rather than all at once.
Almost any gathering can work with a truck or trailer. In Stowting Common, you could book us for occasions like:
- Private outdoor parties
- Anniversary celebrations
- Launch events
- Birthday parties
Nearby historic houses include Westenhanger Castle (3.7 miles south) and Acrise Place (4.5 miles east). Historic houses and estates usually have firm rules on vehicles, so ask where a hired food truck could park before booking.

- Space, access, power and water needs
- Plates and napkins, or nothing at all
- Staff numbers and hours
- Any travel, parking or access charges
Can I do a taco night myself?
For a small group, a taco night at home can work well. For larger numbers, mixed diets or a wedding, a caterer takes the pressure off, with allergen information for every dish.
Doing it yourself? Start with the quantities: our guide to how many tacos per person helps. Keep tortillas warm in a covered basket, and label dishes for guests with allergies.
For planners, venues and organisers
Many venues have rules for outside caterers: where vehicles can park, access times and the paperwork they need. Send us your venue’s requirements and we will follow them.
If you are booking for a business, tell us what your finance team needs, and we’ll talk you through the process. We can work with your facilities team on access and timings.
How it works
It’s a relaxed, well-organised set-up. Arrival and serving times are agreed beforehand, set up our food truck or trailer, and serve without fuss. A Christmas party in Stowting Common with a hired food truck will be in the dark from about 3:50pm, so ask the venue about outdoor lighting where we will park. In late June, it stays light until about 9:15pm.
- Share your plans for the event.
- We suggest fillings and dishes for every diet.
- Power, water and timings are agreed with you or the venue.
- Service runs at the times you choose.
- When everyone is fed, we clear our area.
Before we arrive
- Confirm the venue allows outside caterers

Food truck hire or something else?
Several trucks mean several quotes and arrival times. One truck with tacos, burritos and nachos is one booking to manage. Catering from a truck or trailer can be a practical alternative to a sit-down meal, as there is no kitchen to hire. Contact us for a quote to compare.
