Food truck hire in Herne Common, served fresh
Food truck hire suits weddings, milestone birthdays and staff events, and any gathering where guests want hot food without a sit-down meal. It works well for wedding receptions and leaving dos and retirements, serving loaded nachos, burritos and burrito bowls.
For a rural spot like Herne Common, food truck hire needs a little planning: gate widths, soft ground and the route from the road all matter. Power and water may be limited, so we confirm the arrangements before the day. Access, space and power are agreed with you beforehand, so there are no surprises on arrival.

Questions from Herne Common
Is Herne Common close to London?
It’s about 54 miles from central London, and inside the area we cover.
Is it possible to have you in Curtis Wood?
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.
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 access do you need?
A level, firm spot for the truck or trailer, with access wide and high enough to drive in, and the venue’s agreement. Power and water arrangements are confirmed with each booking.
What do you serve?
We agree a sample menu with each client. Fillings could include slow-cooked pork carnitas, chicken tinga, beef birria and vegan options such as spiced mushrooms or black beans. See our menu for ideas.
Do you cater for dietary needs?
There are vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and dairy-free options, with corn tortillas for gluten-free guests. Every dish has allergen information.
How much does food truck hire cost?
Each hire is quoted individually, depending on numbers, menu, location and timings. Contact us for a quote.
