Tilmanstone questions
Can you serve near the sea around Tilmanstone?
We can, given firm ground and the landowner’s permission. Beaches and promenades normally need the council’s agreement, so check that first.
Which station is closest to Tilmanstone?
Guests can use Shepherds Well station, about 3.3 miles south-west of Tilmanstone.
What if the weather’s bad?
Rain doesn’t generally stop service from the truck or trailer. Plan cover for guests, such as a marquee or gazebo, and tell us if heavy rain could make the ground soft.
Can we have a build-your-own taco bar?
We can. A build-your-own taco bar can be served from the truck or a serving station, with fillings, salsas, guacamole and toppings. Read our taco bar guide.
Can you cater for guests who avoid dairy?
Yes. We offer dairy-free options, and we will tell you which dishes contain milk.
Do you give allergen information?
We plan allergen-aware menus, including for nut allergies, with allergen information for every dish. We plan carefully and keep options separate, though we cannot promise a dish is allergen-free. If a guest has a severe allergy, please talk to us before the event.
Is the food made fresh?
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 gluten-free food?
Yes, we offer gluten-free options, using corn tortillas. Let us know about coeliac guests in advance so we can explain how we prepare their food.
How our food truck hire works in Tilmanstone
Everyone orders at the hatch and gets food cooked to order. It is simple, quick and sociable for guests and hosts. At family celebrations and leaving parties, we will put together a menu of burritos, loaded nachos and tacos from the hatch.
Near Tilmanstone, a hired food truck in a field or garden suits private parties and work away days alike. Guests queue at the hatch, so have some cover ready in case of rain. You can book food, drinks or both, so one caterer can cover more of the day.

How it works
We get there well before you want to serve, then set up and prepare everything. Guests come up to order when service opens. By late September, it’s dark in Tilmanstone at around 7:00pm, so a later service will need some lighting. A late-May event keeps its light until roughly 8:45pm.
- Tell us the date, the location, rough numbers and any diets.
- We check availability and send a menu and a quote for hiring the truck or trailer.
- Before the day, we agree the spot, the way in, power and water.
- Your guests order at the hatch and we serve hot food at the agreed times.
- Once guests are fed, we clear our area and head off.
Getting ready for the day
- Confirm numbers and diets before the day
- Name one person we can ask on the day
- Share the running order, including any speeches
