Food truck hire for Westwood events
About our food truck hire in Westwood
Everyone orders at the hatch and gets food cooked to order. It keeps things easy and relaxed for guests and hosts. Popular choices include burritos, loaded nachos and burrito bowls, and it is a good fit for big birthdays and family celebrations.
For a rural spot like Westwood, 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. Guests are served from our food truck or trailer, or from a serving table nearby, and we plan the service around your numbers.
Step by step
On the day, we park the truck or trailer in the agreed spot and set up. We’re ready to serve at the agreed time, so everything runs to your schedule. Planning a private evening event in Westwood? Sunset is around 8:50pm in late May and 9:20pm in late June. Once it’s dark, some lighting near the hatch makes ordering easier.
- Tell us the date, the location, rough numbers and any diets.
- We suggest a menu for the hatch and quote for it.
- Where the truck or trailer will stand, the route in, and power and water are all agreed in advance.
- Your guests order at the hatch and we serve hot food at the agreed times.
- Once guests are fed, we clear our area and head off.
How to prepare
- Share the running order, including any speeches
- Pick a flat, firm spot for us to park
- Send us final numbers and dietary needs in good time

Questions from Westwood
Could you serve our guests after a service at Church of Saint Mary Magdalene?
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’ll check the access.
Do you come to events 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.
What food and drinks do you offer?
Mexican street food and drinks: tacos and build-your-own taco bars, burritos, burrito bowls, nachos and quesadillas, plus salsas, guacamole and toppings. A drinks bar is available too, with margaritas, Mexican beer and aguas frescas.
Can you keep it mild?
That is your choice: we can keep it mild and put the hotter salsas on the side. Read more about how spicy Mexican food is.
Can you cater for special diets?
We plan vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and dairy-free options, with corn tortillas for gluten-free guests. Every dish has allergen information.
Do you provide allergen information for each dish?
Yes. Tell us about allergies when you book. UK law requires caterers to provide information on 14 allergens, and we give it for every dish (Food Standards Agency guidance). For severe allergies, please talk to us first.
Are plates and napkins included?
Please ask us. Tell us what your venue provides, and we will confirm what’s included with your quote.
How far ahead should we book?
Early, particularly for summer Saturdays. Even if it’s short notice, it is worth asking.

Prices and what affects them
These are the factors that matter most:
- The length of service
- Serving staff
- Parking and the route in
- What the venue already provides
Catering from a truck or trailer can be a practical alternative to a sit-down meal, because it needs no venue kitchen. Ask us for a quote.
