How our food truck hire works in Upchurch
Truck and trailer service typically suits around 50 to 400 guests. Smaller parties are quoted case by case. It works well for family reunions and summer parties at home, serving quesadillas, burrito bowls and fresh salsas and guacamole.
For a rural spot like Upchurch, food truck hire needs a little planning: 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. You will know what’s included before you book: the menu, the service time and any extras you choose.
What food truck hire costs
The same guest numbers can mean different prices, depending on:
- Parking and the route in
- What’s on the menu
- The number of people
- Whether you add a drinks bar or food
There’s no one-size-fits-all price for food truck hire. A short lunch service for a team is a different job from a full wedding day. Your quote sets it all out.
Getting an accurate quote
Good planning starts with a few facts. Try to include:
- How we drive in and where we can park
- Any dietary needs and allergies
- Where the event is
- Your date and when you want service to start
The quickest way to a quote is to tell us about it on our contact page. Tell us about your event in Upchurch, and we will put together a menu and price.
Working with your venue
Planners and coordinators can contact us directly, and we will keep everyone informed on the day.

Upchurch questions
Which station is closest to Upchurch?
The closest is Rainham (Kent) station, roughly 1.6 miles away.
Can you cater a reception after a service at Church of St Mary the Virgin?
Yes. The church itself isn’t where we’d set up, but a hall, field or garden close by with room for the truck or trailer can work well. Let us know the reception address and we will check the access.
What about power on site?
It depends on the event and the set-up, and we agree power and water with you before the day. Let us know whether there is a supply near where we will park.
How big an event can you cater?
That depends on the menu and the service time, but our truck and trailer service typically suits around 50 to 400 guests. For anything outside that, ask us.
Do you cook on site?
We slow-cook fillings ahead, then finish them and keep them hot at your event. The tortillas are warmed on site, and the salsas and guacamole are made fresh.
What about vegan and gluten-free guests?
We plan for diets before the day, though we can’t guarantee there are no traces of any allergen. Guests with severe allergies should talk to us first.
Can you cater for vegetarians and vegans?
Yes. We can include vegetarian and vegan fillings like black beans or spiced mushrooms, served alongside the meat options.
Can you do dairy-free food?
Yes, we can. Let us know your dairy-free numbers, and we’ll plan the menu around them.
DIY taco night or a caterer?
Weighing up a DIY taco night against a caterer? Consider your numbers, your guests’ diets and your own time. Ask us for a quote and compare.
A DIY taco night works well for a small group. For larger numbers, mixed diets or a wedding, a caterer takes the pressure off, and handles allergen information for you.
