Food truck hire near Highstreet
Food truck hire in Highstreet, from our truck or trailer
When you hire our food truck, it serves your guests and nobody else. It’s a private booking, not public trading, so we plan the menu and service times around you. Popular choices include fresh salsas and guacamole, quesadillas and burrito bowls, and it suits engagements and anniversaries and family reunions.
Somewhere as small as Highstreet, food truck hire can mean a garden, a field or a barn. Tell us about narrow lanes, gates and long drives. Soft ground after rain is worth mentioning too. We arrive ready to serve, and clear our own area when service is finished.
Highstreet: parking, access and venues
Highstreet is about 3 miles south-west of Whitstable, in Kent. Whether your event is in the middle of Highstreet or on the outskirts, we offer the same service: a truck or trailer at your event, options for every diet and a clear price. Highstreet is one of 922 places in Kent where we can bring food truck hire.
From central London, Highstreet is about 48 miles away, close enough for a London team’s away day. If guests are travelling by rail, the nearest station is Whitstable station, about 3 miles north-east. With the coast within about 3 miles of Highstreet, 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 ME13, so your event can be anywhere in it. That could mean an event at a home with a drive on Thanet Way and Highstreet Road or the roads around them. For events just outside Highstreet, we cover Waterham (1 mile west), Dargate (1 mile south-west), Seasalter (1 mile north), Hernhill (2 miles south-west) and Slutshole (2 miles south-west). Further out, we also cater in Ashford (14 miles south), Canterbury (5 miles south-east), Sittingbourne (11 miles west), Whitstable (3 miles north-east), Faversham (4 miles west) and Herne Bay (7 miles north-east).

- We check availability and send a menu and a quote for hiring the truck or trailer.
- Before the day, we agree the spot, the way in, power and water.
- We arrive, open the hatch and cook to order for your guests.
- When service ends, we pack up and leave the spot clear.
Preparing for the day

Planners, venues and businesses
Booking for a company? Tell us what your finance team needs, and we will talk you through the process. We’re happy to liaise with facilities on access and timings.
Many venues have rules for outside caterers: vehicle access, arrival times and documents. Tell us what your venue needs and we will work to it.
Before you choose a spot
We’ll agree the spot with you before the day. It needs to meet a few simple requirements:
- Firm, level ground or hardstanding where the truck or trailer can park
- Parking arrangements if we are not on private land
- A spot away from neighbours
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and the access, and we will advise.

Is food truck hire right for your event?
Hog roasts are popular with meat eaters, but a Mexican menu covers vegan, gluten-free and dairy-free guests more easily. There is no one-size-fits-all price for food truck hire. A simple party menu and a full wedding day are very different jobs. Your quote sets it all out.
Why book with us
- Service planned around your numbers
- Served fresh from our food truck or trailer

Guests can use Whitstable station, about 3 miles north-east of Highstreet.

Do you provide plates and napkins?
Please ask us. Let us know what you already have, and we will confirm what’s included with your quote.
Should I do it myself?
A DIY taco night is possible for a crowd, but it’s more work than it looks. There are fillings to slow-cook, tortillas to keep warm and salsas to make. Read our guide to taco bars.
Plenty of people try a DIY taco night at home. Common snags are cold tortillas, uneven quantities and the host missing the party. If you’d rather be with your guests, we will do the serving.
Who books food truck hire in Highstreet?
Food comes from the hatch hot, one order at a time, rather than waiting under foil.
Whatever the occasion, the serving truck can be a highlight. We are happy to cater:
- Leaving dos and retirements
- Winter staff parties
- Anniversary celebrations
- Staff appreciation days
A food truck in Foxes Cross Bottom would need the park owner’s agreement, so check that first.
