How our food truck hire works in Broadstairs
Service is planned around your timings: a set lunch hour, an evening slot or a few hours through a party. Tell us when guests should eat and we will plan around it. For back-garden parties and client hospitality, we can serve loaded nachos, tacos from the hatch and burritos.
With our food truck or trailer hired for your event in Broadstairs, nobody is stuck in the kitchen. Guests order at the hatch, so plan space for a line beside the truck. Food and drinks can be booked together or separately, so one caterer can cover more of the day.
Your questions about food truck hire in Broadstairs
We’re having a ceremony at Parish Church of St Peter the Apostle: can you cater afterwards?
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.
Which station is closest to Broadstairs?
Guests can use Broadstairs station, which is right in Broadstairs.
How much is food truck hire?
We don’t publish set prices, because each hire is different. Tell us your plans and we’ll quote for your event. Our food truck hire guide explains what affects the cost.
How many guests can the truck serve?
It depends on the event and how long service runs. As a guide, it’s around 50 to 400 guests.
Can you cater for children?
Of course. Mild dishes, quesadillas and nachos can be part of the menu. Include children in your numbers.
Do you provide plates and napkins?
We confirm that with your quote. Let us know what the venue supplies and we will talk it through.
Is food truck hire good for weddings?
The truck or trailer can serve the wedding breakfast, evening food or both. Timings are agreed with you and your venue. See our food truck wedding guide.
Can you serve in the rain?
We can keep serving from the truck or trailer in the rain, but guests need somewhere covered to eat and drink, such as a marquee, gazebo or nearby building.

How the day works
Guests tend to gather around the truck, so we plan a spot with space for people to queue. Rain doesn’t typically stop us serving, but guests will need somewhere covered. By late September, it is dark in Broadstairs at around 7:00pm, so evening service from the truck may run past dusk. In late May, daylight lasts until about 8:45pm.
