Food truck hire for your event in Teston
Food truck hire means our food truck or trailer is booked for your guests only. It is a private booking, not public trading, so the menu and timings are set around your event. It works well for birthday parties and summer parties at home, serving tacos from the hatch, burritos and fresh salsas and guacamole.
In a hamlet or village like Teston, our truck or trailer can serve a private party or a team day in a field or garden. Guests queue at the hatch, so have some cover ready in case of rain. Access, space and power are agreed with you beforehand, so there are no surprises on arrival.
Space, access and the venue
Every venue is different, so we ask about the space when you contact us. Generally, we look for:
- Gate widths, overhead branches and soft ground checked in advance
- Somewhere for guests to sit or stand and eat
- Room for guests to gather at the hatch
Not sure about your space? Send us a picture and we’ll tell you honestly.
Teston: your questions answered
Is it possible to have you in Quarry Wood?
Only if the landowner, often the council, allows it. Check with them, and we’ll provide what they ask for from us.
Will you travel to a small place like Teston?
Yes, we cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about lanes, gates, ground and parking.
What does hiring your food truck involve?
Our truck or trailer comes to your venue and serves your guests from the hatch. Only your guests are served.
Do you have dairy-free options?
We can. Dairy-free options are part of our menus.
Can you cater for children?
Yes, children are easy to plan for. Tell us how many and roughly how old, and we’ll plan the menu with them in mind.
Do you do parties at home?
Yes, if the truck or trailer can get in and park on level, firm ground. Tell us about the drive, gates and any slopes.
How spicy is the food?
We can keep it mild, and hotter salsas go on the side for guests who like heat.
What guest numbers do you cater for?
That depends on your timings and the event. As a guide, it’s around 50 to 400 guests.

What’s on the menu
Tacos from the hatch
Tacos are quick to serve and easy to eat standing up, and corn tortillas suit gluten-free guests.
Burrito bowls
A bowl is a good choice for guests avoiding tortillas.
Diets, allergies and planning
With a little notice, most diets are easy. Our advice:
- Think about cover if the weather turns
- Count children separately
- Check gate widths and any height limits
- Let us know who is coeliac
If your timings move, let us know.
Loaded nachos to share while the first orders cook are a good way to begin.
