Food truck hire for Kennington events
Common questions in Kennington
Do you come to events in the Kent Downs National Landscape?
Yes, though some venues in protected landscapes have extra rules; ask your venue. We will follow the site rules.
Is Kennington close to London?
Roughly 48 miles from the centre of London, and we cover it.
Can you cater for special diets?
We plan vegan, vegetarian, dairy-free and gluten-free options, with corn tortillas for gluten-free guests. Allergen information is available for every dish.
Do you bring plates and cutlery?
We confirm that with your quote. Let us know what the venue supplies.
What do you need at the venue?
A level, firm spot for the truck or trailer, with access wide and high enough to drive in, plus the venue’s permission. We confirm power and water with you for each booking.
Can you serve in the rain?
Rain doesn’t normally stop service from the truck or trailer. It’s worth planning a covered area for guests, and let us know if the ground gets soft after heavy rain.
How far ahead should we book?
As early as you can, especially for summer weekends. Ask about your date even if it is soon.
Can you cater for vegetarians and vegans?
Yes, and we plan them in from the start. Tell us your numbers when you ask for a quote.
How our food truck hire works in Kennington
Truck and trailer service generally suits around 50 to 400 guests. Smaller gatherings are looked at case by case, so tell us how many you expect. At garden parties and family reunions, we can serve vegan tacos, tacos from the hatch and fresh salsas and guacamole.
Around Kennington, a hired food truck can serve in a garden, a field or a hall car park. Narrow roads and soft ground are fine if we know about them. You will know what’s included before you book: menu, timings and any add-ons.
DIY taco night versus a caterer
For a small group, a taco night at home can work well. For big numbers or lots of diets, a caterer makes life easier, with allergen information for every dish.
Some hosts like to do it themselves. 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.
Dietary needs and planning tips
Dietary needs are easy to plan for with a little notice. We suggest:
- Agree service times with us
- Ask guests about dietary needs when they reply
- Check early that your venue allows food trucks
- Ask guests with severe allergies to speak to us beforehand
Service starts when your timings say.
Ask us about evening food later on, quoted with the main booking.
