FAQs for Warmlake
Could you serve our guests after a service at Church of St Michael?
Yes, at a nearby garden, marquee or hall with access for the truck or trailer. We’d serve at the reception venue rather than at the church itself. Send us the reception address.
Do you cater in the Kent Downs National Landscape?
We do, where the venue allows a catering vehicle. Lanes can be narrow and ground soft, so tell us how we’d get in.
Where can the truck park?
Send us the address and a description of the spot, and we will check it works. There is more in our space and power guide.
What if the weather’s bad?
Rain doesn’t usually stop service from the truck or trailer. Plan cover for guests, such as a marquee or gazebo, and let us know if the ground gets soft after heavy rain.
When should we book?
The sooner the better. Peak dates go quickly, so contact us early.
Do you have options for kids?
Yes, children are welcome. Tell us how many and roughly how old, and we’ll plan the menu with them in mind.
Can you run a bar?
Yes, we offer a Mexican drinks bar, serving margaritas, Mexican beer, aguas frescas such as hibiscus and horchata, and soft drinks. Alcohol at an event may need a licence, such as a premises licence or a Temporary Event Notice, so we will talk licensing through with you.
Can you come to a private house?
Yes, as long as there’s access and a level, firm spot. Send us a picture of the access and the space, and we’ll tell you honestly whether it works.
Food truck hire in Warmlake, from our food truck or trailer
Food truck hire means our food truck or trailer is booked for your guests only. It’s a private booking, not public trading, so the menu and timings are set around your event. We serve tacos from the hatch, burrito bowls and loaded nachos, and it suits back-garden parties and wedding evening food.
Somewhere as small as Warmlake, food truck hire can mean a garden, a field or a barn. Lanes, gates and long drives are fine if we know about them. Firm ground matters, especially after rain. Everything is prepared fresh for your event and served from our truck or trailer.

Dietary needs and planning tips
Good planning keeps every guest safe and happy. Here’s how:
- Ask guests about dietary needs when they reply
- Walk the access route and note narrow gaps
- Check early that your venue allows food trucks
- Ask guests with severe allergies to speak to us beforehand
Running late? Tell us, and we’ll work around it.
Ask us about evening food later on.
What we need at the venue
Access is the first thing to check for a truck or trailer. We look for:
- Somewhere for guests to sit or stand and eat
- Arrangements for power and water, agreed when you book
- The venue’s or landowner’s permission for a food truck
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and the access, and we’ll advise before booking.
How it works
It is a relaxed, well-organised set-up. We agree arrival and serving times in advance, set up our truck or trailer, and get on with serving. A hired food truck at a summer event in Warmlake can serve in daylight until about 9:15pm at midsummer, while late September brings sunset forward to around 7:00pm. For winter events, dark by about 3:50pm, plan lighting where guests queue at the hatch.
- Ask us whether your date is available.
- 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.
Preparing for the day
- Get the venue’s permission for us to park and serve
- Find out what power and water are available
- Share the running order, including any speeches

DIY taco night versus a caterer
Some hosts like to do it themselves. The usual problems are cold tortillas, running out of a popular filling and a host stuck at the stove. If you’d rather be with your guests, we will do the serving.
For a small group, a taco night at home can work well. For big numbers or lots of diets, a caterer makes life easier, with allergen information for every dish.
- Served from our truck or trailer at your venue, garden or event
- Vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and dairy-free options, with allergen information
- Tacos and taco bars, burritos, bowls, nachos and quesadillas
- Mexican drinks bar: margaritas, Mexican beer and aguas frescas
