Food truck hire in Eastling
Food truck hire for your event in Eastling
Food truck hire means our food truck or trailer is booked for your guests only. Unlike a stall at a festival or market, it’s a private hire, so we plan the menu and service times around you. At weddings and garden parties, we can serve quesadillas, loaded nachos and tacos from the hatch.
Near Eastling, a hired food truck in a field or garden suits private parties and work away days alike. Guests order at the hatch, so plan a sheltered spot for the queue in case of rain. Timings are planned around your event, so service starts when you want it.
Comparing your options
A marquee kitchen with plated service needs more space, more staff and more time. A food truck arrives as a kitchen and serves from the hatch, needing level ground, access and the venue’s permission. Got a budget? Let us know, and we’ll suggest a menu that fits. A simple menu can still feel generous.
Why us?
- Menus chosen with you
- Access, space and power checked in advance
- A quote that sets out what’s included
- Book food, drinks or both

Space, access and the venue
We’ll agree the spot with you before the day. It needs to meet a few simple requirements:
- Arrangements for power and water, agreed when you book
- Any parking or loading permission needed for street locations
- A clear area for a queue at the hatch
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and the access, and we’ll advise before you book.

Can I do a taco night myself?
If you do it yourself, work out quantities first: our guide to how many tacos per person helps. Keep warmed tortillas covered, and label dishes for guests with allergies.
You can set up your own drinks table, but someone still has to mix, pour and keep an eye on it all evening. Our margarita bar guide has tips.

Eastling: your questions answered
Do you cater in the Kent Downs National Landscape?
We do, where the venue allows a catering vehicle. Lanes can be narrow and ground soft, so tell us how we’d get in.
How far is Eastling from London?
It is about 42 miles from central London, and inside the area we cover.
What space does the truck need?
Tell us where you’d like the truck, and we’ll check the access. There is more in our space and power guide.
Which areas do you serve?
We cater across London and the South East, including Kent. Find your area.
What does it cost to hire the truck?
We don’t publish set prices, because each hire is different. Tell us your plans and we will quote for your event. Our food truck hire guide explains what affects the cost.
What happens if it rains?
Rain doesn’t usually stop service from the truck or trailer. Plan cover for guests, such as a marquee or gazebo, and let us know if the ground gets soft after heavy rain.
Can you cater for vegetarians and vegans?
Yes. We can include vegetarian and vegan fillings like black beans or spiced mushrooms, served alongside the meat options.
What access do you need?
A level, firm spot for the truck or trailer, with access wide and high enough to drive in, and the venue’s agreement. Power and water arrangements are confirmed with each booking.
How the day works
On the day, we position the truck or trailer and get the serving area ready. We are ready to serve at the agreed time, planned around your event. At midsummer, it stays light in Eastling until about 9:15pm, and by late September sunset is about 7:00pm. In December it is dark by about 3:50pm, so the queue by the hatch needs lighting.
- Send us your date, the address, a headcount and dietary needs.
- We suggest a menu for the hatch and quote for it.
- We confirm the parking spot, access, power and water with you or the venue.
- We arrive, open the hatch and cook to order for your guests.
- After service, we close the hatch, pack down and drive away.

Food truck hire in Eastling: local tips
Eastling is about 4 miles south-west of Faversham, in Kent. Tell us where your event in Eastling will be, and we’ll plan the journey and set-up before the day. We cater in 922 places across Kent, from the larger towns to small villages, wherever the truck or trailer can get in. Our truck and trailer cover the area from Eastling to Canterbury (about 12 miles away).
Nearby historic houses include Belmont House and Gardens (1.4 miles east). Historic houses and estates generally have firm rules on vehicles, so ask where a hired food truck could park before you book. Guests leaving a church like Church of St Mary could walk or drive to a nearby garden or hall where the truck is ready. With the Kent Downs National Landscape within about 8 miles, a rural setting for your private or work event is within reach. Firm ground and a clear way in matter most for the truck or trailer.
We serve at events all over the ME13 postcode area. Your event could be at a home on The Street, Meeson's Close and Eastling Road or the roads around them.

Prices and what affects them
Here’s what makes the biggest difference to the price:
- Whether you need disposables
- Adding food to drinks, or drinks to food
- Distance and access to the venue
- Timings and hours
There is no one-size-fits-all price for food truck hire. A short lunch service for a team is a different job from a full wedding day. Your quote sets it all out.
What we need to know
You don’t need everything decided to ask for a quote, but these help:
- Whether you’d like food, drinks or both
- The venue or postcode
- Diets and allergies you know about
- Your date and when you want service to start
A detailed enquiry gets a more accurate quote: venue, timings, menu ideas and access. To send your details, use our quote form.
Diets, allergies and planning
A little planning makes sure everyone can eat. Try these:
- Ask the venue about catering vehicles before booking
- Walk the access route and note narrow gaps
- Tell us when guests should eat
- Collect diets and allergies with your RSVPs
Service starts when your timings say, and we cook each order as it comes.
Ask us about evening food later on, quoted with the main booking.
Planners, venues and businesses
Many venues have rules for outside caterers: vehicle access, arrival times and documents. Send us your venue’s requirements and we’ll follow them.
For repeat events, such as annual staff parties or seasonal fairs, let us know your dates early, so we can plan ahead.
