Organising for someone else?

Food truck hire in Lower Hartlip, from our truck or trailer
Food truck hire means our food truck or trailer is booked for your guests only. Unlike a stall at a festival or market, it’s a private hire, so we plan the menu and service times around you. We serve loaded nachos, vegan tacos and quesadillas, which works well for leaving parties and client events and product launches.
In a rural place like Lower Hartlip, access is the main thing to plan for a hired truck: gate widths, soft ground and the route from the road all matter. We confirm power and water arrangements with you. Timings are planned around your event, so service starts when you want it.
Planning food truck hire around Lower Hartlip
Lower Hartlip is about 3 miles south-east of Gillingham, in Kent. Anywhere in ME9, we can serve your guests, as long as there is access. We cover 922 places in Kent, from the larger towns to small villages, wherever the truck or trailer can get in. Our nearest city page is Maidstone, about 8 miles away.
Parks such as Foxburrow Wood usually need permission for vehicles and catering, so a garden or hired venue is often simpler.

Common questions in Lower Hartlip
We are having a ceremony at Church of St Michael: 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 will check the access.
What’s the nearest station to Lower Hartlip for guests?
Guests can use Newington station, about 1.1 miles north-east of Lower Hartlip.
Do you cater for coeliacs?
We can, using corn tortillas. Corn tortillas are naturally gluten-free, but some fillings, sauces and toppings may not be, so we check every dish and give allergen information.
What happens if it rains?
We can keep serving from the truck or trailer in the rain, but guests need somewhere covered to eat and drink, like a marquee or gazebo.
Can you cater for special diets?
We plan vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and dairy-free options, with corn tortillas for gluten-free guests. Every dish has allergen information.
How long do you serve for?
We arrive in good time to set up before service. The length of service is agreed when you book.
Can you plan for allergies?
We plan allergen-aware menus, including for nut allergies, and give allergen information for every dish. We keep options separate, but we can’t promise anything is completely allergen-free. Guests with severe allergies should talk to us before the event.
Is the food suitable for children?
Yes, children are welcome. Let us know numbers and ages, and we will plan the menu with them in mind.
Diets, allergies and planning
A little planning makes sure everyone can eat. Try these:
- Walk the access route and note narrow gaps
- Send allergy details in writing
- Check early that your venue allows food trucks
- Agree service times with us
Service starts when your timings say, and we cook each order as it comes.
Ask us about evening food later on, quoted with the main booking.
