Food truck hire for Herne events
For planners, venues and organisers
Planning an event for a club, school or charity in Herne? A truck or trailer serves a crowd quickly, with options for most diets. Give us the details and we will suggest a plan.
For larger events, we plan serving points around your timings, so everyone is served promptly. Tell us how long you have for food and drinks.
About our food truck hire in Herne
When you hire our food truck, it serves your guests and nobody else. Unlike a stall at a festival or market, it is a private hire, so we plan the menu and service times around you. It works well for parties in venue grounds and engagement parties, with fresh salsas and guacamole, burrito bowls and quesadillas.
For a place the size of Herne, food truck hire at your own home is often simplest: no venue to book, and guests order straight from the hatch. Let us know about the route to the house. We plan the timings around your day, whether that’s speeches, a lunch break or a festival schedule.
Common questions in Herne
How far is Herne from London?
Roughly 54 miles from the centre of London, and we cover it.
Do you cater at coastal events near Herne?
We can, given firm ground and the landowner’s permission. Beaches and promenades normally need the council’s agreement, so check that first.
Which areas do you serve?
We cater across London and the South East, Kent included. Find your area.
What does hiring your food truck involve?
You hire the truck or trailer for agreed service times. We cook, serve and clear away.
Is the food very hot?
It’s up to you: we can keep it mild and put the hotter salsas on the side.
Do you give allergen information?
Our menus are planned with allergies in mind, nut allergies included, with allergen information for every dish. We keep options separate, but we can’t promise anything is completely allergen-free. Guests with severe allergies should talk to us before the event.
How is the food prepared?
Food is cooked to order in our food truck or trailer, or served from a build-your-own taco bar. Slow-cooked fillings are prepared in advance and kept hot on site.
Can you cater for vegetarians and vegans?
Of course. Vegetarian and vegan fillings, such as spiced mushrooms or black beans, can be part of the menu, served alongside the meat options.
How we price food truck hire
The same guest numbers can mean different prices, depending on:
- Your choice of food and drinks
- What the venue already provides
- How many staff you need
- Travel, parking and access
Access, parking and the distance to your venue can affect the price, so tell us about the venue when you ask for a quote. The full price is confirmed in your quote.
What to tell us
You don’t need every detail fixed to get a quote, but it helps to know:
- The date and rough timings
- Expected numbers
- Whether you’d like food, drinks or both
- Vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free, dairy-free and allergy numbers
Send us the date, your venue or CT6 postcode and guest numbers, along with any dietary needs, and we’ll reply with a menu suggestion and a quote. To get started, send us your details through our quote form.
The process
When service finishes, we pack up and leave our area tidy. Set-up and pack-down times are agreed with you and the venue. December events in Herne lose the light at about 3:50pm, so choose a well-lit spot for the truck or trailer. At midsummer, sunset is around 9:15pm.
- Share your plans for the event.
- Together we plan dishes that cover your guests’ diets.
- Power, water and timings are agreed with you or the venue.
- Service runs at the times you choose.
- Once service ends, we tidy up and go.

Planning food truck hire around Herne
Herne is about 1 mile south of Herne Bay, in Kent. Whether your event is in the middle of Herne or on the outskirts, food truck hire works the same way: a truck or trailer at your event, options for every diet and a clear price. Herne is one of 922 towns and villages in Kent we cover.
From central London, Herne is about 54 miles away, close enough for a London team’s away day. When the service is at a church such as Church of St Martin, the truck would serve at the reception venue rather than at the church. With the coast within about 2 miles of Herne, wind is worth planning for. A sheltered, firm spot for the truck or trailer and the queue works best.
This part of Kent takes in CT6, and we can cater your event anywhere in it with access for the truck or trailer. That could mean an event at a home with a drive on St Martin's View, Ridley Close and Herne Street. Other places close to Herne for food truck hire include Hunters Forstal (1 mile north-east), Eddington (1 mile north-west), Herne Common (1 mile south-west), Bullockstone (1 mile west) and Broomfield (1 mile north-east). Within a short drive, we also cover Canterbury (5 miles south-west), Margate (11 miles east), Ramsgate (12 miles east), Broadstairs (13 miles east), Whitstable (4 miles west) and Deal (15 miles south-east).
Other landmarks nearby include Whitstable and Tankerton Hospital (3.7 miles west) and Tankerton Castle (4.4 miles west). Not far away are West Blean and Thornden Woods.
- Local schools include Herne Bay High School (1.2 miles north-west)

What else we do in Herne
Should I do it myself?
Doing it yourself? Start with the quantities: see how many tacos per person. Keep tortillas warm in a covered basket, and label anything containing allergens.
A DIY taco night works well for a small group. For larger numbers, mixed diets or a wedding, a caterer takes the pressure off, with allergen information for every dish.
