Wootton: your questions answered
What’s the nearest station to Wootton for guests?
The closest is Shepherds Well station, roughly 2.4 miles away.
Do you cater in the Kent Downs National Landscape?
Yes. Some venues there have rules about vehicles, ground and catering, so check with yours. Tell us about narrow lanes and soft ground.
Do you provide drinks?
Yes. The drinks bar can be added to food or booked on its own, with alcohol-free options such as aguas frescas. For alcohol, we’ll check the licensing with you and your venue.
How much is a food truck for an event?
The price depends on numbers, menu, service time and where your event is. Contact us for a quote.
Can you keep it mild?
It is up to you: we can keep the main dishes mild, with hotter salsas served separately.
Do you have gluten-free options?
Yes, with corn tortillas. Corn tortillas are naturally gluten-free, but some fillings, sauces and toppings may not be, so we plan gluten-free dishes carefully and give allergen information.
Is the food made fresh?
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.

The process
From set-up to service, we look after everything you’ve booked from us, so you can spend time with your guests. In Wootton, the sun sets at about 9:15pm in late June and about 7:00pm in late September, so summer evening events are normally served in daylight. In December it is dark by about 3:50pm, so winter events need lighting around the truck and the queue.
- First, send us your date, venue, numbers and any diets we should know about.
- We put together a menu around your guests and quote for it.
- We check access, power and water with you or the venue.
- We arrive, set up and cook to order, with salsas and guacamole made fresh.
- Once everyone has eaten, we tidy our serving area and head off.
Preparing for the day
- Give us your final numbers and diets
- Share the running order, including any speeches
- Get the venue’s permission for us to park and serve
Getting a price
Every quote is put together for your event. Give us your date and numbers, and we’ll confirm whether we are available that day.

Can I do a taco night myself?
Some hosts like to do it themselves. Common snags are cold tortillas, uneven quantities and the host missing the party. If you’d rather enjoy the party, let us serve.
If you do it yourself, work out quantities first: our guide to how many tacos per person helps. Keep warmed tortillas covered, and label anything containing allergens.
Planning for every diet
Nearly every event has some special diets. To cater well for them:
- Tell us what other food is being served
- Check that your venue allows outside caterers and vehicles
- Add a dietary question to your RSVP
- Count children separately
We have allergen information for every dish at the hatch, and guests are welcome to ask before ordering.
Quesadillas are a good choice for children and cautious eaters, because they’re simple.
Planners, venues and businesses
If you’re organising for someone else, such as a wedding planner, an office manager or a festival organiser, we are happy to deal with you and the venue directly. It saves passing messages back and forth.
Throwing a party at home? Send a photo of the space and tell us about access, and we will let you know if it’s a good fit.
