Food truck hire in Lydd-on-Sea, from our food truck or trailer
We bring the truck or trailer to private and work events in and around Lydd-on-Sea: gardens, venue grounds, car parks and business parks. It suits leaving parties and engagement parties, serving burritos, quesadillas and loaded nachos.
In a hamlet or village like Lydd-on-Sea, our 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. We serve from the hatch of our truck or trailer, or from a serving station, and we plan service so the queue keeps moving.
Why choose food truck hire in Lydd-on-Sea?
Nothing is needed from a venue kitchen, so gardens, fields and grounds all become options.
Whatever the occasion, our food truck or trailer can be the centre of it. We can cater:
- Back-garden parties
- Weddings
- Private outdoor parties
- Client hospitality
After a service at a church such as St Peter's, a hired food truck at a garden, field or venue nearby can feed everyone.
Questions to ask before booking
- The deadline for final numbers
- How long the service runs

- Whether travel is included

Step by step
The truck or trailer needs a level, firm spot with access to drive in, and we agree power and water arrangements before the day. Send us a photo of the space if you’re unsure. By late September, it is dark in Lydd-on-Sea at around 7:00pm, so a later service will need some lighting. A late-May event keeps its light until roughly 8:45pm.
- Send us your date, the address, a headcount and dietary needs.
- You get a hatch menu and a quote for the hire.
- Before the day, we agree the spot, the way in, power and water.
- On the day we drive in, set up and serve to order from the hatch.
- After service, we close the hatch, pack down and drive away.
Before we arrive
- Confirm the venue allows outside caterers
- Let us know the timings for the day
- Have level hardstanding or firm ground ready

FAQs for Lydd-on-Sea
Is Lydd-on-Sea close to London?
It is about 60 miles from central London, and inside the area we cover.
Will you travel to a small place like Lydd-on-Sea?
Yes, we cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about lanes, gates, ground and parking.
Do you come to Lydd-on-Sea?

Do you cater for vegetarian guests?
Yes. Vegetarian and vegan fillings, such as spiced mushrooms or black beans, can be part of the menu, served alongside the meat options.
Can you come to a private house?
That depends on access. If the truck or trailer can’t reach the garden, a drive or a spot nearby may work, with permission. Tell us about the space and we’ll advise.
Is private hire the same as trading at a festival?
At a private hire, we serve your guests and nobody else, on a menu and timings agreed with you. Festival and market trading is open to the public.
How spicy is the food?
It’s up to you: we can keep it mild and put the hotter salsas on the side.
Do you need electricity?
Let us know what’s available on site, for example a supply from the venue, and we’ll confirm the arrangements with your quote.
A closer look at the menu

A taco is ideal food from a truck.
Catering for every guest
Mixed diets are straightforward to plan for, because guests can choose what suits them. Here are a few tips for planning:
- Collect diets and allergies with your RSVPs
- Share your running order
- Flag any coeliac guests
- Walk the access route and note narrow gaps
Running late? Tell us, and we will work around it.
Quesadillas make an easy option for children.
DIY taco night versus a caterer
A DIY taco night is possible for a crowd, but it is more work than it looks. There are fillings to slow-cook, tortillas to keep warm and salsas to make. Our taco bar guide explains how.
Doing it yourself saves money, but the host ends up in the kitchen. With a caterer, you get the food and drinks without the work.
Comparing your options
A marquee kitchen with plated service needs more space, more staff and more time. Our food truck or trailer brings the kitchen and serves from one hatch, needing level ground, access and the venue’s permission. Extras, such as more dishes, extra drinks or a longer service, are quoted on request, so you choose what goes in.
