Food truck hire in Hawkinge, from our food truck or trailer
The truck or trailer is a working kitchen on wheels, so your venue doesn’t need a kitchen. What we do need is level ground, a way in and the venue’s agreement. For back-garden parties and birthday parties, we’ll put together a menu of loaded nachos, burrito bowls and quesadillas for your guests.
Hire our food truck for an event near Hawkinge and the kitchen comes with it; we just need level ground, access and the venue’s permission. Your quote sets out what’s included: the menu, the service time and any extras you choose.

Dietary needs and planning tips
Most events have a mix of diets. To cater well for them:
- Check parking and loading rules for street locations
- Walk the access route and note narrow gaps
- Give us separate numbers for children
- Flag any coeliac guests
Wet weather does not close the hatch, though a marquee or gazebo helps guests stay dry.
Loaded nachos to share while the first orders cook are a good way to begin.
How we price food truck hire
Two events with the same number of guests can cost different amounts, depending on:
- Travel, parking and access
- Plates, napkins and cutlery
- Adding food to drinks, or drinks to food
- The length of service
The price depends on guest numbers, the menu and how long you’d like us to serve, plus any add-ons and the location. Every event gets its own quote.
