Food truck hire in Upper Hardres, served fresh
Guests walk up to the hatch, order and take their food away hot. It is simple, quick and sociable. It suits weddings and summer parties at home, with vegan tacos, fresh salsas and guacamole and quesadillas.
In a rural place like Upper Hardres, access is the main thing to plan for a hired truck: the gate, the ground and the distance from the lane. We confirm power and water arrangements with you. Access, space and power are agreed with you beforehand, so set-up goes smoothly.

Upper Hardres questions
Can you cater a reception after a service at Church of St Peter and St Paul?
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.
Do you come to events in the Kent Downs National Landscape?
Yes, though some venues in protected landscapes have extra rules; ask your venue. We’ll follow the site rules.
What space does the truck need?
Send us the address and a description of the spot, and we will check it works. Our guide to space and power has more.
Do you do food truck hire for weddings?
A food truck suits a relaxed wedding well. We will check access and timings with your venue.
Can you keep it mild?
It is up to you: we can keep the main dishes mild, with hotter salsas served separately.
Do you provide drinks?
Yes, we run a Mexican drinks bar, with margaritas, Mexican beer, aguas frescas and soft drinks. Alcohol at an event may need a licence, such as a premises licence or a Temporary Event Notice, so we’ll check the licensing with you.
Can you cater for guests who avoid dairy?
Yes. Dairy-free options are part of our menus, and we will tell you which dishes contain milk.
Can you cater for vegetarians and vegans?
Yes. Vegetarian and vegan fillings, such as spiced mushrooms or black beans, can be part of the menu, served alongside the meat options.

What happens on the day
When we arrive, we position the truck or trailer and get the serving area ready. Service starts at the time we’ve agreed, so everything runs to your schedule. At midsummer, it stays light in Upper Hardres until about 9:15pm, and by late September sunset is about 7:00pm. In December it is dark by about 3:50pm, so the queue by the hatch needs lighting.
