Food truck hire near Hoo
For planners, venues and organisers
If your event is in a public space, such as a park, check what permission you need first. We’ll provide the information the landowner or council asks for from us.
If you’re organising for someone else, such as a wedding planner, an office manager or a festival organiser, we’re happy to deal with you and the venue directly. It saves passing messages back and forth.
Food truck hire for your event in Hoo
We bring the truck or trailer to private and work events in and around Hoo, from gardens to venue grounds and business parks. At back-garden parties and company away days, we will put together a menu of tacos from the hatch, quesadillas and loaded nachos and more.
In a small place like Hoo, a hired food truck might park in a garden, paddock or field. Lanes, gates and long drives are fine if we know about them. Soft ground after rain is worth mentioning too. We arrive ready to serve, and clear our own area when service is finished.
What else we do in Hoo
The process
When we arrive, we park the truck or trailer in the agreed spot and set up. We’re ready to serve at the agreed time, planned around your event. A hired food truck at a summer event in Hoo can serve in daylight until about 9:15pm at midsummer, while late September brings sunset forward to around 7:00pm. In December it is dark by about 3:50pm, so the queue by the hatch needs lighting.
- Share your plans for the event.
- Together we plan dishes that cover your guests’ diets.
- We check power, water and timings with the venue.
- The truck serves at the agreed times.

What food truck hire costs
These are the factors that matter most:
- What’s on the menu
- The length of service
- What the venue already provides
- Parking and the route in
The cost per head can fall as numbers rise, since the set-up is much the same either way. Tell us your numbers for an accurate price.

FAQs for Hoo
We are having a ceremony at Church of Saint Mary the Virgin: can you cater afterwards?
Yes. The church itself isn’t where we’d set up, but a hall, field or garden close by with room for the truck or trailer can work well. Let us know the reception address and we’ll check the access.
What’s the nearest station to Hoo for guests?
Minster station, about 1.1 miles south-east of the centre.
Do you cover Hoo?
Yes, we do. We serve at events in Hoo and across Kent. Tell us your date and we’ll check availability.
When should we book?
As early as you can, especially for summer weekends. Even if it’s short notice, it is worth asking.
Is private hire the same as trading at a festival?
A private hire is booked and quoted for you, and we don’t sell to the public. Organisers wanting us to trade at their event can see our festival page.
What’s on the menu?
We agree a sample menu with each client. Fillings might include chicken tinga, pork carnitas, al pastor-style pork and vegan options like black beans. See our menu for ideas.
Can guests build their own tacos?
Yes. A build-your-own taco bar can be served from the truck or a serving station, with fillings, salsas and toppings to choose from. Read our taco bar guide.
How big an event can you cater?
Our truck and trailer service typically suits events of around 50 to 400 guests. Smaller parties are quoted case by case, and festivals can be larger. Tell us your numbers.
