Food truck hire near Tickham
How the day works
A typical event goes like this: we park up and get ready, service opens at the agreed time, and we serve your guests fresh for the agreed time. A Christmas party in Tickham 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.
- First come the basics: date, location, numbers and diets.
- You get a hatch menu and a quote for the hire.
- Where the truck or trailer will stand, the route in, and power and water are all agreed in advance.
- On the day we drive in, set up and serve to order from the hatch.
- When service ends, we pack up and leave the spot clear.
Getting ready for the day
- Send us final numbers and dietary needs in good time
- Share the running order, including any speeches
- Give us a contact for the day

Tickham: your questions answered
Which station should guests use for Tickham?
Guests can use Teynham station, about 1.4 miles north of Tickham.
How far is Tickham from London?
About 41 miles from central London.
Do you do margaritas?
Yes, we offer a Mexican drinks bar, with margaritas, Mexican beer, aguas frescas and soft drinks. Your venue or event may need the right licence for alcohol, so we’ll go through the licensing with you.
How far ahead should we book?
The sooner the better. Popular dates go first, so it pays to ask early.
What does food truck hire cost?
We quote for each event, based on what you actually need. Give us your date, numbers and menu ideas and we will reply with a quote.
What if the weather’s bad?
We can serve from the hatch in the rain. It’s worth planning a covered area for guests, and tell us if heavy rain could make the ground soft.
Can we add drinks?
We bring bar staff with the drinks bar and alcohol-free choices. We’ll talk through licensing first.
How is private hire different from festival trading?
When you hire us, the booking is yours, so we don’t serve passers-by. Event organisers should see street food for festivals.
Space, access and the venue
Before the day, we will agree where we park and serve. It needs to meet a few simple requirements:
- Room for guests to gather at the hatch
- Level, solid ground for the vehicle
- The venue’s or landowner’s permission for a food truck
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and the access, and we’ll advise before booking.
Popular choices
- Burritos
- Mexican drinks bar
- Quesadillas
- Loaded nachos
- Tacos
- Burrito bowls
Diets, allergies and planning
Mixed diets are straightforward to plan for, because guests can choose what suits them. Here are a few tips for planning:
- Check gate widths and any height limits
- Count children separately
- Guests with serious allergies should contact us first
- Ask the venue about catering vehicles before you book
We arrive in the agreed window and park where we have arranged. It helps if someone can meet us on arrival.
Simple quesadillas suit younger guests, if you’d like a kids’ choice.
