Food truck hire near Waltham
Your questions about food truck hire in Waltham
Which station should guests use for Waltham?
Guests can use Chilham station, about 3.7 miles north-west of Waltham.
Do you hire out your food truck for parties in places like Waltham?
Yes, as long as we are available on the date and can get the truck or trailer in. Tell us about the lane, gates, ground and parking.
Do you cater for vegetarian guests?
Of course. Vegetarian and vegan fillings, such as spiced mushrooms or black beans, can be part of the menu.
What does it cost to hire the truck?
Each hire is quoted individually, depending on numbers, menu, location and timings. For a price, use our quote form.
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.
Can you cater for children?
Of course. We can keep dishes mild, and simple options such as quesadillas or nachos can be part of the menu. Include children in your numbers.
Can you cater for special diets?
There are gluten-free, dairy-free, vegetarian and vegan options, and corn tortillas suit gluten-free guests. Every dish has allergen information.
Is private hire the same as trading at a festival?
When you hire us, the booking is yours, so we don’t serve passers-by. Event organisers should see street food for festivals.
Food truck hire for your event in Waltham
Everyone orders at the hatch and gets food cooked to order. It keeps things easy and relaxed. At private parties in fields and grounds and wedding receptions, we can serve burrito bowls, fresh salsas and guacamole and tacos from the hatch and more.
Near Waltham, a hired food truck in a field or garden suits private parties and work away days alike. Guests order at the hatch, so plan a sheltered spot for the queue in case of rain. We plan the timings around your day, so service starts when you want it.

Working with your venue
If you run the same event each year, tell us your dates early, so we can plan ahead.
If you are organising for someone else, whether you are a planner, an office manager or an event organiser, we will work directly with you and the venue. It keeps things simple.
What we need at the venue
Every venue is different, so we will ask about yours when you get in touch. In general, we need:
- Distance from houses and windows
- A place for guests to eat close to the hatch
- Power and water details confirmed in advance
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and the access, and we will advise before you book.
The process
We arrive in good time before service, set up the truck or trailer and get everything ready. Guests come up to order when service opens. December events in Waltham lose the light at about 3:50pm, so choose a well-lit spot for the truck or trailer. At midsummer, sunset is around 9:15pm.
- Check our availability for your date.
- You get a menu for the hatch and a quote.
- We confirm the parking spot and the route in.
- We drive in, open the hatch and serve your guests.
- After service, we close up and leave the spot clear.
Before we arrive
- Give us your final numbers and diets
- Tell us what power and water the site has
- Name one person we can ask on the day
Getting a price
