Henhurst is one of 922 places in Kent where we can bring food truck hire. Our truck and trailer cover the area from Henhurst to Maidstone (about 11 miles away).

Food truck hire in Henhurst, served fresh

Every guest is catered for, gluten-free, dairy-free, vegetarian and vegan included, with allergen information for everything we serve.

Common questions in Henhurst
Can you bring your truck or trailer to Jeskyns?
It depends on the park’s owner, who would need to agree to a catering vehicle on site. Ask them first; if they say yes, we’ll send what they need from us.
How far is Henhurst from central London?
Roughly 22 miles from the centre of London, and we cover it.
What guest numbers do you cater for?
Hiring the truck or trailer typically suits around 50 to 400 guests. Smaller parties are quoted case by case.
Do you take everything away?
Our area is packed away and left tidy. Tell us the venue’s rules on waste and clearing up and we will talk it through.
Do you have gluten-free options?
Yes, we offer gluten-free options, made with corn tortillas. Tell us about any coeliac guests before the event so we can talk through how their food is prepared.
What does hiring your food truck involve?
Our truck or trailer comes to your venue and serves your guests from the hatch. It is a private booking for your guests only.
How spicy is the food?
That’s your choice: we can keep it mild and put the hotter salsas on the side.
Can guests build their own tacos?
Yes, a taco bar is one of our options. Let us know your numbers and space and we will suggest the best set-up.
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.
For a small group, a taco night at home can work well. For big numbers or lots of diets, a caterer makes life easier, with allergen information for every dish.

Prices and what affects them
We quote for your event, and the price is based on:

You do not need everything decided to ask for a quote, but it helps to know:
- Where the event is
- Access for the truck or trailer, including gates and ground

How it works
It is a relaxed, well-organised set-up. We agree arrival and serving times in advance, get the serving area ready, and get on with serving. Late-September events in Henhurst see sunset at about 7:00pm, so a later service will need some lighting. A late-May event keeps its light until roughly 8:50pm.
- First come the basics: date, location, numbers and diets.
- You get a hatch menu and a quote for the hire.
- Where the truck or trailer will stand, the route in, and power and water are all agreed in advance.
- Your guests order at the hatch and we serve hot food at the agreed times.
- When service ends, we pack up and leave the spot clear.
Getting ready for the day
- Get the venue’s permission for us to park and serve

- Tell us when you want service to start
