About our food truck hire in Dargate
You could pick fillings such as chicken tinga, carnitas or beef birria, with vegan choices like black bean and sweet potato. We plan for vegan, vegetarian, dairy-free and gluten-free guests. For weddings and end-of-year celebrations, we will put together a menu of loaded nachos, burrito bowls and quesadillas.
Somewhere as small as Dargate, food truck hire can mean a garden, a field or a barn. Lanes, gates and long drives are fine if we know about them. Firm ground matters, especially after rain. Guests are served from our food truck or trailer, or from a serving table nearby, and we plan the service around your numbers.
What happens on the day
Guests tend to gather around the truck, so we will help you choose a spot with room for a queue. We can serve in the rain, though guests will want somewhere covered to stand or sit. At midsummer, it stays light in Dargate until about 9:15pm, while late September brings sunset forward to around 7:00pm. For winter events, dark by about 3:50pm, plan lighting where guests queue at the hatch.
- Send us your date, the address, a headcount and dietary needs.
- You get a hatch menu and a quote for the hire.
- Where the truck or trailer will stand, the route in, and power and water are all agreed in advance.
- On the day we drive in, set up and serve to order from the hatch.
- When service ends, we pack up and leave the spot clear.
Before we arrive
- Pick a flat, firm spot for us to park
- Tell us when you want service to start
- Get the venue’s permission for us to park and serve

Hiring our taco truck near Dargate
Dargate is about 4 miles south-west of Whitstable, in Kent. Give us the address of your event in Dargate, and we will plan access and set-up. Dargate is one of 922 places in Kent where we can bring food truck hire.
Parks such as Mount Ephraim Gardens usually need permission for vehicles and catering, so a garden or hired venue is often simpler. From central London, Dargate is about 48 miles away, which can suit a team day out of the city with a hired food truck. With the coast within about 4 miles of Dargate, wind is worth planning for.
