Food truck hire in Hythe
Food truck hire in Hythe, from our truck or trailer
Food truck hire suits weddings, milestone birthdays and staff events, and any gathering where guests want hot food without a sit-down meal. At birthday parties and end-of-year parties, we can serve burritos, tacos from the hatch and loaded nachos and more.
Drives and gardens in Hythe come in all sizes, and what matters is access and level ground. A nearby car park can also work, with permission. We plan the timings around your day, whether that’s speeches, a lunch break or a festival schedule.
DIY taco night or a caterer?
Some hosts like to do it themselves. Common snags are cold tortillas, uneven quantities and the host missing the party. If you’d rather enjoy the party, let us serve.
Running your own drinks table is one option, but someone has to serve all evening. See our margarita bar guide.
Before you choose a spot
Many gardens, fields and venues can take a truck or trailer, but there are a few things to check:
- Firm, level ground or hardstanding where the truck or trailer can park
- Somewhere for guests to sit or stand and eat
- Room for guests to gather at the hatch
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and the access, and we will advise before you book.
Planning for every diet
Dietary needs are easy to plan for with a little notice. We suggest:
- Look into parking permissions if the truck can’t go off-road
- Tell us how many children are coming
- Plan a covered area for guests to eat
- Check early that your venue allows food trucks
Wet weather doesn’t close the hatch, but guests will want a covered area to eat.
A taco-bar station can sit next to the truck for a wedding breakfast or lunch.
What else we do in Hythe
How it works
When service finishes, we pack down and clear our own area. We agree set-up and pack-down times with you and your venue. A hired food truck at a summer event in Hythe can serve in daylight until about 9:15pm at midsummer, and by late September sunset is about 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.
- When everyone is fed, we clear our area.
How to prepare
- Send us final numbers and dietary needs in good time
- Have level hardstanding or firm ground ready

Hythe questions
Can you serve near the sea around Hythe?
We can, given firm ground and the landowner’s permission. Beaches and promenades typically need the council’s agreement, so check that first.
We are having a ceremony at Church of St Michael and All Angels: can you cater afterwards?
Yes, at a garden, field or venue nearby where the truck or trailer can park. We’d serve at the reception venue rather than at the church itself. Tell us where the reception will be.
Do you come to Hythe?
Yes, we do. We serve at events in Hythe and across Kent. Send us your date to check availability.
Do you have vegan options?
Of course. We can include vegetarian and vegan fillings like black beans or spiced mushrooms, served alongside the meat options.
Can you do gluten-free food?
Yes, we offer gluten-free options, using corn tortillas. Tell us about any coeliac guests before the event so we can talk through how their food is prepared.
Do you need electricity?
Let us know what’s available on site, for example a supply from the venue, and we’ll confirm what we need with your quote.
How long do you serve for?
It depends on your event. Timings are agreed in advance so everything fits your schedule.
Do you provide drinks?
Yes, we do. Our drinks bar can be booked on its own or with food. For alcohol, we will go through the licensing with you and your venue.
