About our food truck hire in Thanington
The hatch menu is agreed with you: tacos, burritos, burrito bowls, loaded nachos or quesadillas, with fresh salsas and guacamole. On the menu are fresh salsas and guacamole, quesadillas and burrito bowls, and it’s a good fit for weddings and parties in venue grounds.
Hire our food truck for an event near Thanington and the kitchen comes with it; we just need level ground, access and the venue’s permission. You can book food, drinks or both, so one caterer can cover more of the day.
FAQs for Thanington
Could you serve in Whitehall Meadows?
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 will send what they need from us.
We are having a ceremony at Church of St Nicholas: can you cater afterwards?
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.
How many guests can the truck serve?
It depends on the event and how long service runs. Most bookings fall around 50 to 400 guests.
What happens if it rains?
We can serve from the hatch in the rain. It’s worth planning a covered area for guests, and let us know if the ground gets soft after heavy rain.
Is the food suitable for children?
Yes, children are welcome. Let us know numbers and ages, and we’ll plan the menu with them in mind.
Do you offer a bar with the truck?
We bring bar staff with the drinks bar. Alcohol needs the right licence, which we will check with you.
Do you come to Thanington?
Yes. We cater across London and the South East, and Thanington is within our area. To check your date, fill in our quote form.
What access do you need?
The main things are access and a level spot: 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.
Where the truck can go in Thanington
No two venues are the same, so we’ll ask about yours when you get in touch. Generally, we look for:
- Space in front of the hatch for guests to queue
- Power and water details confirmed in advance
- Somewhere for guests to sit or stand and eat
If you’re unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think.

Why us?
- A clear quote
- Service planned around your numbers
- Options for vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and dairy-free guests

Quesadillas
Toasted tortillas with melted cheese and a filling, cut into wedges.

Nachos are good for sharing between friends; dairy-free versions can be planned.
Prices and what affects them
Every event is priced individually, and the price depends on a few things:
- Parking and the route in
- Guest numbers
- What the venue already provides
- Staff for serving and the bar
Cost depends on guest numbers, the menu and the length of service, along with extras and where your event is. We quote for each event individually.
Getting an accurate quote
To check availability and price, we need:
- Where the event is
- Roughly how many adults and children
- Gate widths, slopes and the ground
- A picture of where we’d park
To get a price, just send a quick message through our quote form. Give us the details of your event, and we’ll put together a menu and price.
DIY taco night versus a caterer
Plenty of people try a DIY taco night at home. The usual problems are cold tortillas, running out of a popular filling and a host stuck at the stove. If you’d rather be with your guests, we’ll do the serving.
You can host your own taco night for a crowd, but it takes planning. Fillings need slow cooking, tortillas need warming as you go, and salsas need making. Our taco bar guide explains how.
Planners, venues and businesses
Many venues have rules for outside caterers: where vehicles can park, access times and the paperwork they need. Tell us what your venue needs and we will work to it.
For repeat events, such as annual staff parties or seasonal fairs, let us know your dates early, so we can plan ahead.
