Food truck hire in Yelsted
About our food truck hire in Yelsted
Everyone orders at the hatch and gets food cooked to order. It’s simple, quick and sociable for guests and hosts. On the menu are burritos, tacos from the hatch and loaded nachos, and it suits winter staff parties and summer parties at home.
For a rural spot like Yelsted, food truck hire needs a little planning: the gate, the ground and the distance from the lane. We confirm power and water arrangements with you. We cater for vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and dairy-free guests, and we give allergen information for every dish.
The menu, item by item
Burrito bowls
A bowl is a good choice for guests avoiding tortillas, and they’re easy to adapt.
Loaded nachos
Nachos are good for sharing between friends.
Questions from Yelsted
Is it possible to have you in Stockbury Hill Wood?
It depends on the park’s owner, who would need to agree to a catering vehicle on site. Ask them first; if they say yes, we’ll send what they need from us.
Do you come to events in the Kent Downs National Landscape?
Yes. Some venues there have rules about vehicles, ground and catering, so check with yours. We will follow the site rules.
What about power on site?
That depends on the set-up, and we agree power and water with you before the day. Let us know whether there’s a supply near where we will park.
Can you cater in a back garden?
That depends on access. If the truck or trailer cannot reach the garden, a drive or a spot nearby may work, with permission. Tell us about the space and we will advise.
How many guests can the truck serve?
Truck and trailer service typically suits around 50 to 400 guests. Smaller parties are quoted case by case.
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. Tell us how many children are coming.
Can guests build their own tacos?
We can. A build-your-own taco bar can be served from the truck or a serving station, with fillings, salsas and toppings to choose from.
How does private food truck hire work?
You book the truck or trailer for set hours at your event. We cook to order, serve from the hatch and pack down afterwards.
Dietary needs and planning tips
Mixed diets are straightforward to plan for, because options can be kept separate. A few tips:
- Think about cover if the weather turns
- Tell us about coeliac guests
- Measure gates and look for low branches on the way in
- Ask guests about dietary needs when they reply
The hatch opens at the time you choose.
Nachos for sharing at the start.
How it works
When service finishes, we pack up and leave our area tidy. We agree set-up and pack-down times with you and your venue. By late September, it’s dark in Yelsted at around 7:00pm, so a later service will need some lighting. In late May, daylight lasts until about 8:50pm.
- Ask us whether your date is available.
- We agree a hatch menu and send 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
- Name one person we can ask on the day
- Have a marquee or gazebo ready in case of rain
- Find out what power and water are available
