Planning for every diet
A little planning makes sure everyone can eat. Try these:
- Look into parking permissions if the truck can’t go off-road
- Give us separate numbers for children
- Measure gates and look for low branches on the way in
- Confirm the venue accepts outside caterers and vehicles
Service starts when your timings say, and we cook each order as it comes.
Simple quesadillas suit younger guests.
About our food truck hire in Finglesham
Truck and trailer service usually suits around 50 to 400 guests. Smaller parties are quoted case by case. It suits wedding receptions and winter staff parties, with fresh salsas and guacamole, tacos from the hatch and loaded nachos.
In a rural place like Finglesham, access is the main thing to plan for a hired truck: gate widths, soft ground and the route from the road all matter. We confirm power and water arrangements with you. We serve from the hatch of our food truck or trailer, or from a serving station, and we plan service so the queue keeps moving.

A taco is ideal food from a truck, and corn tortillas suit gluten-free guests.
Finglesham: parking, access and venues
Finglesham is about 2 miles north-west of Deal, in Kent. We serve at events in gardens, halls and venues around Finglesham. We cater in all 922 towns and villages across Kent, from the larger towns to small villages. Our truck and trailer cover the area from Finglesham to Canterbury (12 miles away).
Parks such as Betteshanger Park normally need permission for vehicles and catering, so a garden or hired venue is often simpler. Historic houses near Finglesham include Walmer Castle (3.4 miles south-east). If you’re hiring a historic venue, check early whether it allows a catering vehicle on site. With the sea within about 3 miles, a hired food truck at a seaside venue is an option. The truck or trailer needs firm ground rather than sand or shingle, and seafront spots normally need permission.

Working with your venue
For larger events, we plan serving points around your timings, so guests are looked after quickly. Tell us how long you have for food and drinks.
If you run the same event each year, tell us your dates early, so we can plan ahead.
Planning the serving area
Many gardens, fields and venues can take a truck or trailer, but there are a few things to check:
- The landowner’s go-ahead for the truck or trailer
- A way in wide and high enough for the vehicle
- Distance from houses and windows
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and the access, and we will advise.

Finglesham questions
Can you bring your truck or trailer to Betteshanger Park?
Only if the landowner, often the council, allows it. Check with them, and we’ll provide what they ask for from us.
Could we book your food truck for a private event in Finglesham?
Yes, depending on the date. For a private or work event in a village or hamlet, the main thing is access: tell us about the lane, the gate and the ground.
How does private food truck hire work?
You book the truck or trailer for set hours at your event. We cook to order, serve from the hatch and pack down afterwards.
Can you plan for allergies?
Yes. Tell us about allergies when you book. UK law requires caterers to provide information on 14 allergens, and we give it for every dish (Food Standards Agency guidance). Anyone with a severe allergy should speak to us before the event.
What if the weather’s bad?
Rain does not generally stop service from the truck or trailer. Plan cover for guests, such as a marquee or gazebo, and tell us if heavy rain could make the ground soft.
Do you cater for vegetarian guests?
Yes, and we plan them in from the start. Let us know how many vegetarian and vegan guests to expect, and we’ll keep their options separate.
Do you cook on site?
We cook to order in our truck or trailer kitchen, or serve from a taco bar. Slow-cooked fillings are prepared in advance and kept hot on site.
How long are you on site?
That depends on your event and menu. Timings are agreed in advance to suit your day.
