Food truck hire for Hawthorn events
Planning for every diet
Good planning keeps every guest safe and happy. Try these:
- Ask the venue about catering vehicles before you book
- Flag any coeliac guests
- Ask guests with severe allergies to speak to us beforehand
- Give us separate numbers for children
We drive in at the agreed time and park in the planned spot. It helps if someone can meet us on arrival.
Simple quesadillas suit younger guests.
About our food truck hire in Hawthorn
Food truck hire means our truck or trailer is booked for your guests only. Unlike a stall at a festival or market, it’s a private hire, so we plan the menu and service times around you. On the menu are loaded nachos, burritos and quesadillas, and it’s a good fit for engagement parties and leaving dos and retirements.
Near Hawthorn, 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. Timings are planned around your event, so service starts when you want it.

Hawthorn: your questions answered
Do you cater at coastal events near Hawthorn?
We can, given firm ground and the landowner’s permission. Beaches and promenades typically need the council’s agreement, so check that first.
Is Hawthorn close to London?
It’s about 56 miles from central London, and inside the area we cover.
How spicy is the food?
The food can be kept mild, and hotter salsas go on the side for guests who like heat.
Do you cater for dietary needs?
We plan vegan, vegetarian, dairy-free and gluten-free options, with corn tortillas for gluten-free guests. Allergen information is available for every dish.
What access do you need?
Access and level ground matter most: a level spot to park, space for guests to queue and a little room for a serving table. Send us a photo and tell us about gates, slopes and soft ground.
Is the truck suitable for a large group?
It depends on the event and how long service runs. Most bookings fall around 50 to 400 guests.
Where can the truck park?
A firm, level spot, a way in that fits the vehicle, and the venue’s agreement. We confirm power and water when you book.
What happens if it rains?
We can keep serving from the truck or trailer in the rain, but your guests will want somewhere covered, like a marquee or gazebo.
How we price food truck hire
Your quote will be clear. What affects it most:
- Staff for serving and the bar
- The menu you choose
- Food, drinks or both
- How long we are needed on site
Pricing depends on the event. A short lunch service for a team is a different job from a full wedding day. Contact us for a quote.
Getting an accurate quote
We can quote more accurately with a few details. Here’s what’s useful:
- A picture of the space, if it’s a garden or field
- Where the event is
- The date and rough timings
- Any dietary needs and allergies
Every event is quoted individually, based on what you need. To ask for one, drop us a line using the enquiry form.
Hiring a food truck in Hawthorn
Hawthorn is about 2 miles east of Herne Bay, in Kent. Events in Hawthorn are planned around your venue and timings: a quote, a plan and friendly service on the day. Hawthorn is one of 922 towns and villages in Kent where we can bring food truck hire. Our nearest city page is Canterbury, about 7 miles away.
The A299 serve Hawthorn, so the drive to your event is a simple one for us. When the service is at a church such as Church of St Mary the Virgin, the truck would serve at the reception venue rather than at the church. 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 usually need permission.
We cover events in every part of the CT6 and CT3 postcode area and the streets around it. That could mean an event at a home with a drive on Campion Avenue, Sweechbridge Road and Heart in Hand Road. With the A299 close by, Hawthorn is simple for us to get to. Neighbouring places where we cater events include Hillborough (1 mile north-west), Highstead (1 mile south), Bishopstone (1 mile north), Broomfield (1 mile west) and Beltinge (1 mile north-west). We also cater in nearby towns such as Canterbury (7 miles south-west), Margate (9 miles east), Ramsgate (10 miles east), Broadstairs (11 miles east), Whitstable (6 miles west) and Deal (14 miles south-east).
A little further out are Whitstable and Tankerton Hospital (5.4 miles west). Open spaces near Hawthorn include West Blean and Thornden Woods.
- Local pubs include The Huntsman And Horn Public House (0.8 miles west)
