Food truck hire near Hampton
Hampton: your questions answered
We’re having a ceremony at St Andrew's Church: can you cater afterwards?
Yes, at a garden, field or venue nearby where the truck or trailer can park. Service would be at the reception venue, not the church. Send us the reception address.
What’s the nearest station to Hampton for guests?
The closest is Herne Bay station, roughly 1 mile away.
What about power on site?
Let us know what’s available on site, such as a supply from the venue near where we will park, and we’ll confirm what we need with your quote.
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. Read more in having a food truck at a wedding.
How big an event can you cater?
Truck and trailer service typically suits around 50 to 400 guests. Festivals can be bigger, and smaller parties are quoted case by case. Tell us your numbers.
Can you cater for special diets?
We plan for diets before the day, though we cannot guarantee there are no traces of any allergen. Guests with severe allergies should talk to us first.
Do you have dairy-free options?
Yes, on request. Tell us how many guests need dairy-free food, and we will plan the menu around them.
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.
About our food truck hire in Hampton
Guests walk up to the hatch, order and take their food away hot. It is simple, quick and sociable for guests and hosts. For end-of-year celebrations and garden parties, we can serve burrito bowls, vegan tacos and fresh salsas and guacamole and more.
Hire our food truck for an event near Hampton and the kitchen comes with it; all we need is a level spot, a way in and permission. Access, space and power are agreed with you beforehand, so there are no surprises on arrival.

Working with your venue
If your event is in a public space, such as a park, check what permission you need first. We can send what the landowner or council needs from us.
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.
Catering for every guest
We cater for vegan, vegetarian, dairy-free and gluten-free guests. To get it right:
- Plan a covered area for guests to eat
- Let us know who is coeliac
- Guests with serious allergies should contact us first
- Check parking and loading rules for street locations
We keep allergen information for every dish at the hatch.
Tell us what serveware you need and we will confirm what’s possible.
Can I do a taco night myself?
A DIY taco night is possible for a crowd, but it is more work than it looks. Fillings need slow cooking, tortillas need warming as you go, and salsas need making. Our taco bar guide explains how.
Some hosts like to do it themselves. Common snags are cold tortillas, uneven quantities and the host missing the party. If you’d rather enjoy the party, let us serve.
Prices and what affects them
These are the factors that matter most:
- How long we are needed on site
- Guest numbers
- Your choice of food and drinks
- Travel, parking and access
Extras, such as more dishes, extra drinks or a longer service, are quoted on request, so you can choose what you need.
Details that help

Step by step
We need a level, firm spot we can drive the truck or trailer onto, and we agree power and water arrangements before the day. A picture of the space helps. A Christmas party in Hampton with a hired food truck will be in the dark from about 3:50pm, so choose a well-lit spot for the truck or trailer. In late June, it stays light until about 9:15pm.
- Ask us whether your date is available.
- You get a menu for the hatch and a quote.
- The spot and the way in are agreed in advance.
- We drive in, open the hatch and serve your guests.
- After service, we close up and leave the spot clear.
Getting ready for the day
- Arrange somewhere covered for guests to eat
- Share the running order, including any speeches
- Tell us what power and water the site has

Hiring a food truck in Hampton
Hampton is about 2 miles west of Herne Bay, in Kent. Anywhere in CT6, we’ll come to your venue or site. We cater in 922 places across Kent. Our nearest city page is Canterbury, about 6 miles away.
Rail travellers will be glad to hear that Herne Bay station is about 1 mile away. When the service is at a church such as St Andrew's Church, the truck would serve at the reception venue rather than at the church. With the sea within about 2 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 usually need permission.

Food truck hire or something else?
