FAQs for Swanscombe
Can you cater a reception after a service at Church of St Mary?
Yes, at a nearby garden, marquee or hall with access for the truck or trailer. Service would be at the reception venue, not the church. Tell us where the reception will be.
Can you bring your truck or trailer to Castle Hill Park?
It depends on the park’s owner, who would need to agree to a catering vehicle on site. Ask them first; if they say yes, we’ll send what they need from us.
What does food truck hire cost?
It depends on guest numbers, the menu, the length of service and the location. Contact us for a quote.
Can you run a bar?
Yes, we do. The drinks bar can be added to food or booked on its own, with alcohol-free options such as aguas frescas. We will check the licensing for alcohol with you.
How is private hire different from festival trading?
A private hire is booked and quoted for you, so we don’t serve passers-by. Organisers wanting us to trade at their event can see our festival page.
What areas do you cover?
We cater across London and the South East, Kent included. See all areas.
Do you do a taco bar?
Yes. A build-your-own taco bar can be served from the truck or a serving station, with fillings, salsas and toppings to choose from.
Do you give allergen information?
Yes, and it helps to hear about allergies when you book. Under UK rules, caterers must give information on 14 allergens, and we give it for every dish (Food Standards Agency guidance). For severe allergies, please talk to us first.
How our food truck hire works in Swanscombe
When you hire our food truck, it serves your guests and nobody else. Unlike a stall at a festival or market, it’s a private hire, so the menu and timings are set around your event. At leaving parties and christenings and family parties, we’ll put together a menu of quesadillas, vegan tacos and burritos for your guests.
In and around Swanscombe, our food truck or trailer can work at home, in a field or at a hall. Narrow roads and soft ground are fine if we know about them. We cater for gluten-free, dairy-free, vegetarian and vegan guests, with allergen information for everything we serve.

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.
You can host your own taco night for a crowd, but it takes planning. There are fillings to slow-cook, tortillas to keep warm and salsas to make. Our taco bar guide explains how.
Planning the serving area
We will be honest if a space won’t work. What matters most:
- Gate widths, overhead branches and soft ground checked in advance
- Space in front of the hatch for guests to queue
- Parking arrangements if we are not on private land
If you’re unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think.
