About our food truck hire in Harbourland
We cook inside our truck or trailer, so your venue does not need a kitchen. What we do need is level ground, a way in and the venue’s agreement. On the menu are loaded nachos, burrito bowls and burritos, and it suits leaving dos and retirements and garden parties.
Near Harbourland, 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. We arrive ready to serve, and clear our own area when service is finished.
What happens on the day
We take care of everything you’ve booked, from set-up to service, so you can spend time with your guests. At midsummer, it stays light in Harbourland until about 9:15pm, and by late September sunset is about 7:00pm. For winter events, dark by about 3:50pm, plan lighting where guests queue at the hatch.
- Tell us what the event is and who’s coming.
- We suggest fillings and dishes for every diet.
- We check power, water and timings with the venue.
- The truck serves at the agreed times.
- When everyone is fed, we clear our area.
How to prepare

A marquee kitchen with plated service needs more space, more staff and more time. Our truck or trailer brings the kitchen and serves from one hatch. Larger events can cost less per head, since the set-up is much the same either way. Give us your numbers and we will quote.

Which station is closest to Harbourland?
The closest is Maidstone East station, roughly 1.3 miles away.

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.
Is the food made fresh?
Food is cooked to order in our truck or trailer, or served from a build-your-own taco bar. Slow-cooked fillings are prepared in advance and kept hot on site.
Can you serve in the rain?
Rain does not normally 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.

We bring our truck or trailer to your venue, park in the agreed spot and serve your guests from the hatch. Only your guests are served.

Yes, we do. The drinks bar can be added to food or booked on its own. For alcohol, we will talk licensing through with you and your venue.
How far ahead should we book?
Early, particularly for summer Saturdays. Even if it is short notice, it is worth asking.
Is the truck suitable for a large group?
It depends on the event and how long service runs. As a guide, it is around 50 to 400 guests, so tell us your numbers.
