Food truck hire in Kingsgate
Food truck hire in Kingsgate, from our truck or trailer
The truck or trailer is a working kitchen on wheels, so there is no need for kitchen space at the venue. What we do need is level ground, a way in and the venue’s agreement. Popular choices include tacos from the hatch, quesadillas and loaded nachos, and it’s a good fit for leaving dos and retirements and family reunions.
In a hamlet or village like Kingsgate, our food truck or trailer can serve a private party or a team day in a field or garden. Guests queue at the hatch, so have some cover ready in case of rain. Timings are planned around your event, whether that is speeches, a lunch break or a festival schedule.
Popular choices
Loaded nachos
Nachos are good for sharing between friends.
Tacos from the hatch
Tacos are quick to serve and easy to eat standing up, and corn tortillas suit gluten-free guests.

Hiring a food truck in Kingsgate
Kingsgate is about 2 miles north of Broadstairs, in Kent. We serve at events in homes, gardens and venues in Kingsgate and nearby villages. We cover 922 places in Kent, from the larger towns to small villages. We cater right across the region, from Kingsgate to Canterbury (17 miles away).
When the service is at a church such as St Philip, the truck would serve at the reception venue rather than at the church. If guests are travelling by rail, the nearest station is Broadstairs station, about 1.6 miles south. The coast is within about 3 miles of Kingsgate, so a hired food truck at a seaside venue is an option. The truck or trailer needs firm ground rather than sand or shingle, and seafront spots usually need permission.
Anywhere in CT10, we can bring food truck hire to you, from busy streets to quiet lanes. Streets in the area include Joss Gap Road, Kingsgate Bay Road and Holland Close, and an event on any of them can work if the truck or trailer can park nearby. Nearby, we also cater events in Northdown (1 mile west), Palm Bay (1 mile north-west), Broadstairs (2 miles south), St Peter's (2 miles south-west) and Cliftonville (2 miles west). Larger places within reach include Margate (3 miles west), Ramsgate (3 miles south-west), Deal (12 miles south), Herne Bay (13 miles west), Walmer (13 miles south) and St Lawrence (4 miles south-west).
Well-known places in the area include Westwood Cross (2.6 miles south-west) and Queen Elizabeth the Queen Mother Hospital (2.3 miles west).
- Local schools include The Charles Dickens School (1.8 miles south-west)
- Nearby, you’ll find Captain Digby Inn (within half a mile north-west)
How the day works
From set-up to service, we look after everything you’ve booked from us, so you can spend time with your guests. A Christmas party in Kingsgate with a hired food truck will be in the dark from about 3:50pm, so ask the venue about outdoor lighting where we will park. In late June, it stays light until about 9:15pm.
- Send us your date, the address, a headcount and dietary needs.
- You get a hatch menu and a quote for the hire.
- Where the truck or trailer will stand, the route in, and power and water are all agreed in advance.
- On the day we drive in, set up and serve to order from the hatch.
- Once guests are fed, we clear our area and head off.
Before we arrive
- Check the venue is happy to have a truck or trailer on site
- Arrange somewhere covered for guests to eat
- Confirm numbers and diets before the day

Should I do it myself?
If you do it yourself, work out quantities first: see how many tacos per person. Keep warmed tortillas covered, and label anything containing allergens.
You can set up your own drinks table, but someone still has to mix, pour and keep an eye on it all evening. See our margarita bar guide.
Planners, venues and businesses
Venues often have their own rules about outside caterers: vehicle access, arrival times and documents. Send us your venue’s requirements and we’ll follow them.
Hosting a party at home? Send a picture of the space and tell us about access, and we will tell you honestly whether a truck or trailer will fit.
FAQs for Kingsgate
We’re having a ceremony at St Philip: can you cater afterwards?
Yes. The church itself is not 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 will check the access.
Do you hire out your food truck for parties in places like Kingsgate?
Yes, depending on the date. For a private or work event in a village or hamlet, the main thing is access: tell us about the lane, the gate and the ground.
Do you clear up afterwards?
Our area is packed away and left tidy. Let us know the venue’s rules on waste and we’ll talk it through.
Can you run a bar?
Yes. The drinks bar can be added to food or booked on its own. For alcohol, we’ll check the licensing with you and your venue.
Do you do a taco bar?
We can. We can set up a build-your-own taco bar, served from the truck or a serving table, with fillings, salsas and toppings to choose from. Read our taco bar guide.
Do you cater for vegetarian guests?
Yes, they’re part of the planning from the start. Let us know how many vegetarian and vegan guests to expect, and we’ll keep their options separate.

Every event is quoted individually, so the price fits what you want. Give us your date, numbers and menu ideas for a clear quote.
