Food truck hire in Tonge, served fresh
We serve when you want us to: a set lunch hour, an evening slot or a few hours through a party. Let us know your running order. For family reunions and staff appreciation days, we will put together a menu of burrito bowls, loaded nachos and vegan tacos for your guests.
In a rural place like Tonge, access is the main thing to plan for a hired truck: gate widths, soft ground and the route from the road all matter. Power and water may be limited, so we confirm the arrangements before the day. We will check the space, access and power with you before the day, so set-up goes smoothly.
Food truck hire in Tonge: local tips
Tonge is about 2 miles east of Sittingbourne, in Kent. Events in Tonge are planned around your venue and timings: a clear quote, agreed timings and fresh service on the day. Tonge is one of 922 places in Kent where we can bring food truck hire. Our truck and trailer cover the area from Tonge to Maidstone (12 miles away).
A food truck in Milton Creek Country Park would need the park owner’s agreement, so check that first. Guests leaving a church like Church of St Giles could walk or drive to a nearby garden or hall where the truck is ready.
Wherever your event is in ME9, we can bring the truck or trailer to your guests. Neighbouring places where we cater events include Tonge Corner (1 mile south), Milton Regis (1 mile west), Murston (1 mile south-west), Radfield (1 mile south) and Kemsley (2 miles west). We also cater in nearby towns such as Maidstone (12 miles south-west), Ashford (15 miles south), Canterbury (14 miles east), Whitstable (11 miles east), Faversham (5 miles south-east) and Herne Bay (15 miles east).
A little further out are Sittingbourne and Milton Urban District (2.1 miles west) and Castle Rough (1.3 miles north-west).
Popular choices
Loaded nachos
A tray of nachos works as a starter or a late snack.
Tacos from the hatch
Warm tortillas filled to order and finished with salsa, with fillings such as carnitas, chicken tinga or spiced mushroom.
Planning for every diet
We cater for vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and dairy-free guests. To get it right:
- Confirm allergies with us in writing
- Plan a covered area for guests to eat
- Ask guests with severe allergies to speak to us beforehand
- Let us know who is coeliac
When service ends, we pack away and drive off quietly.
Margaritas, Mexican beer and aguas frescas from our drinks bar can join the truck, with licensing checked with you.
Where the truck can go in Tonge
Every venue is different, so we ask about the space before we confirm. Generally, we look for:
- Room for guests to gather at the hatch
- The landowner’s go-ahead for the truck or trailer
- Some space between the truck and nearby homes
If you’re unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think.
Organising for someone else?
For big numbers, we plan service to keep queues short, so guests are looked after quickly. Let us know how long the break is.
Organising a club, school or community event in Tonge? Service from a truck or trailer is quick, even for a crowd, and the menu can suit most diets. Tell us about the event and we’ll suggest a menu.

DIY taco night or a caterer?
Not sure whether to do it yourself or book a caterer? Consider your numbers, your guests’ diets and your own time. Contact us for a quote to compare.
A DIY taco night works well for a small group. For big numbers or lots of diets, a caterer makes life easier, with allergen information for every dish.
The process
Here’s how the day usually runs: we park up and get ready, we open the hatch when you’re ready, and we serve your guests fresh until service ends. A Christmas party in Tonge with a hired food truck will be in the dark from about 3:50pm, so choose a well-lit spot for the truck or trailer. In late June, it stays light until about 9:15pm.
- Check our availability for your date.
- We agree a hatch menu and send a quote.
- The spot and the way in are agreed in advance.
- On the day, guests order at the hatch and we cook to order.
- After service, we close up and leave the spot clear.
Before we arrive
- Confirm the venue allows outside caterers
- Let us know the timings for the day
- Have a marquee or gazebo ready in case of rain

Your questions about food truck hire in Tonge
How far is Tonge from central London?
About 39 miles from central London, and we cover it.
Can we hire your food truck for a private party in Tonge?
Yes, depending on the date. For a private or work event in a village or hamlet, the main thing is access: tell us about the lane, the gate and the ground.
Do you provide plates and napkins?
That is confirmed with each quote. Tell us whether your venue has crockery or you’d prefer disposables and we will talk it through.
How is private hire different from festival trading?
At a private hire, we serve your guests and nobody else, with a menu and timings you agree with us. Festival and market trading is open to the public.
What food and drinks do you offer?
We agree a sample menu with each client. Fillings could include chicken tinga, pork carnitas, al pastor-style pork and vegan options like black beans. Our sample menu has more ideas.
How much space do you need?
Access and level ground matter most: a firm spot for the truck or trailer, room for a queue and, for a taco bar, space for a serving table. Send us a picture and tell us about gates, slopes and soft ground.
Is there a minimum number of guests?
Our truck and trailer service usually suits events of around 50 to 400 guests. Festivals can be bigger, and smaller parties are quoted case by case. Tell us your numbers.
How much does food truck hire cost in Tonge?
Every event is quoted individually, based on what you actually need. Give us your date, numbers and menu ideas and we’ll reply with a quote.
How we price food truck hire
Two events with the same number of guests can cost different amounts, depending on:
- Parking and the route in
- What’s on the menu
- Plates, napkins and cutlery
- Whether you add a drinks bar or food
Pricing depends on the event. A simple party menu and a full wedding day are very different jobs. Contact us for a quote.
Getting an accurate quote
When you get in touch, it helps to tell us:
- What you’d like on the menu
- Where the event is
- A photo of the space, if it’s a garden or field
- Access for the truck or trailer, including gates and ground
We quote for each event separately, so the price fits what you actually want. For a quote, drop us a line using the enquiry form.
Comparing your options
Several trucks mean several quotes and arrival times. One truck with tacos, burritos and nachos is one booking to manage. The price depends on guest numbers, the menu and how long you’d like us to serve, along with extras and where your event is. Every event gets its own quote.
