We can trade to the public or cook for crew, volunteers and hospitality areas. Popular choices include vegan tacos, tacos and loaded nachos, and it suits open days and community events and race days and sports events.
Near Boughton Malherbe, events may be far from shops and cafés, so a hot-food truck is a big help. You will know what’s included before booking: menu, timings and any add-ons.
Before you choose a spot
Every venue is different, so we ask about the space when you get in touch. In general, we need:
- Vehicle access before and after the event
- Pitch space for the vehicle and a queue
- Clear information on power, water and waste
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and the access, and we will advise.
Boughton Malherbe: your questions answered
Which station should guests use for Boughton Malherbe?
Lenham station, about 1.5 miles north-east of the centre.
Do you cater in villages like Boughton Malherbe?
Yes. Villages and hamlets are part of our area, and the main thing is access: tell us about the lane, the gate and the ground.
Is there a vegan option at your stall?
Yes, always. We serve vegan fillings such as black beans or spiced mushrooms.
What if the weather’s bad?
We can keep serving from the truck or trailer in the rain, but your guests will want somewhere covered, such as a marquee, gazebo or nearby building.
Do you clear up afterwards?
We pack down and tidy our own area after service. For anything beyond that, such as guests’ tables, ask us.
Is there a minimum number of guests?
Our truck and trailer service normally suits events of around 50 to 400 guests. Festivals can be bigger, and smaller parties are quoted case by case. Send us your numbers and we’ll advise.
How much space do you need?
Access and level ground matter most: a level spot to park, space for guests to queue and a little room for a serving table. If in doubt, send us a photo of the space and the way in.
Can you cater for guests who avoid dairy?
Yes, on request. Tell us how many guests need dairy-free food, and we’ll include them in the plan.

Can I do a taco night myself?
Plenty of people try a DIY taco night at home. 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.
Doing it yourself? Start with the quantities: our guide to how many tacos per person helps. Keep tortillas warm in a covered basket, and label anything containing allergens.
