Planning food truck hire around Harvel
Harvel is about 6 miles south of Gravesend, in Kent. Give us the address of your event in Harvel, and we will plan the journey and set-up before the day. Harvel is one of 922 towns and villages in Kent we cover. Our truck and trailer cover the area from Harvel to Maidstone (9 miles away).
After a service at a church such as Church of Our Lady of the Meadow, a hired food truck at a garden, field or venue nearby can feed everyone. A food truck in Trosley Country Park would need the park owner’s agreement, so check that first.
This part of Kent takes in DA13, so your event can be anywhere in it. That could mean an event at a home with a drive on St Francis Road, Hart Lane and Harvel Street. We also serve at events in Priestwood Green (1 mile north), Culverstone Green (1 mile south-west), Priestwood (1 mile north), South Street (1 mile north-west) and Vigo Village (1 mile south). Within a short drive, we also cover Maidstone (9 miles south-east), Dartford (9 miles north-west), Sevenoaks (9 miles south-west), Royal Tunbridge Wells (15 miles south), Gravesend (6 miles north) and Tonbridge (11 miles south).
Well-known places in the area include Leybourne Castle (3.6 miles south-east) and Coldrum Long Barrow (1.6 miles south). Open spaces near Harvel include Ranscombe Farm.
- Local schools include Meopham School (1.7 miles north)
Food truck hire in Harvel, served fresh
The truck or trailer is a working kitchen on wheels, so there’s no need for kitchen space at the venue. We need a level spot, safe access and the venue’s permission. For back-garden parties and parties in venue grounds, we can serve vegan tacos, burrito bowls and quesadillas for your guests.
In a rural place like Harvel, 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. Everything is prepared fresh for your event and served from our food truck or trailer, so guests get it at its best.
Step by step
Here’s how the day usually runs: we park up and get ready, we open the hatch when you’re ready, and we serve your guests fresh for the agreed time. Evening events in Harvel stay light until about 9:20pm at midsummer. After that, festoon lights or lamps near the truck help guests order.
- Check our availability for your date.
- 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.
- We pack down and drive away when service ends.
Getting ready for the day
- Give us a contact for the day
- Give us your final numbers and diets
- Have level hardstanding or firm ground ready
Ask for a quote
Every event is quoted individually, so the price fits what you actually want. To ask for one, send us your details through our quote form.
Planning help
What we need at the venue
Before the day, we’ll agree where we park and serve. A good spot ticks these boxes:
- The venue’s or landowner’s permission for a food truck
- Arrangements for power and water, agreed when you book
- 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 booking.
Should I do it myself?
A DIY taco night is possible for a crowd, but it’s more work than it looks. Fillings need slow cooking, tortillas need warming as you go, and salsas need making. Read our guide to taco bars.
Not sure whether to do it yourself or book a caterer? Think about numbers, diets and how much you want to enjoy the day. Ask us for a quote and compare.

For planners, venues and organisers
If you run the same event each year, tell us your dates early, so we can check the date.
For big numbers, we plan service to keep queues short, so guests are looked after quickly. Tell us how long you have for food and drinks.
Prices and what affects them
Every event is priced individually, and the price depends on a few things:
- What’s on the menu
- How many guests we are serving
- Plates, napkins and cutlery
- Staff for serving and the bar
Catering from a truck or trailer can be a practical alternative to a sit-down meal, as there is no kitchen to hire. Contact us for a quote to compare.
Details that help
Good planning starts with a few facts. Try to include:
- What power and water the site has
- Where the event is
- The date and rough timings
- Roughly how many adults and children
We need only a few details to quote: the date, where the event is, how many guests and any dietary needs. To send them, drop us a line using the enquiry form.
Harvel: your questions answered
Do you come out to small places like Harvel?
Yes. Villages and hamlets are part of our area, and the main thing is access: tell us about the lane, the gate and the ground.
Could you serve our guests after a service at Church of Our Lady of the Meadow?
Yes. The church itself is not where we’d set up, but a hall, field or garden close by with room for the truck or trailer can work well. Let us know the reception address and we will check the access.
Can you do gluten-free food?
Yes, gluten-free options are available, using corn tortillas. Let us know about coeliac guests in advance so we can talk through how their food is prepared.
Do you cater in Harvel?
Yes, we do. We serve at events in Harvel and across Kent. Tell us your date and we will check availability.
Do you do food truck hire for weddings?
A food truck suits a relaxed wedding well. We’ll check access and timings with your venue.
What’s on the menu?
Every menu is agreed with you. Fillings could include chicken tinga, pork carnitas, al pastor-style pork and vegan options like black beans. See our menu for ideas.
Is the food very hot?
The food can be kept mild, with hotter salsas on the side for anyone who wants more heat.
How big an event can you cater?
That depends on the menu and the service time, but around 50 to 400 guests is the usual range. For anything outside that, ask us.
