Hiring our taco truck near Lyminge
Lyminge is about 4 miles north of Hythe, in Kent. Tell us where your event in Lyminge will be, and we will plan the journey and set-up. We cover all 922 towns and villages in Kent, from the larger towns to small villages, wherever the truck or trailer can get in. Our nearest city page is Canterbury, about 10 miles away.
Roughly 57 miles separate Lyminge from central London, close enough for a London team’s away day. Nearby historic houses include Acrise Place (2.1 miles east) and Westenhanger Castle (3.4 miles south-west). If you are hiring a historic venue, check early whether it allows a catering vehicle on site. With the Kent Downs National Landscape within about 3 miles, a rural setting for your private or work event is within reach. Firm ground and a clear way in matter most for the truck or trailer. With the sea within about 5 miles, 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 normally need permission.
Here we cover the CT18 postcode area, so your event can be anywhere in it. From Church Road, Station Road and Silverlands Road or anywhere nearby, we will plan where to park and serve. Close by, we cover events in Ottinge (1 mile north-east), Woodland (1 mile west), Skeete (1 mile west), Etchinghill (1 mile south) and Rhodes Minnis (1 mile north-west). Larger places within reach include Ashford (10 miles west), Canterbury (10 miles north), Dover (9 miles east), Folkestone (5 miles south-east), Deal (15 miles north-east) and Hythe (4 miles south).
Other landmarks nearby include Saltwood Castle (3.3 miles south) and Elham Valley Countryside Centre And Railway Museum (2.5 miles south-east). Green spaces nearby include Tolsford Hill.
Food truck hire for your event in Lyminge
The hatch menu is agreed with you: tacos and burritos, with bowls, nachos or quesadillas if you like, finished with salsas and guacamole. On the menu are burrito bowls, loaded nachos and burritos, and it suits end-of-year celebrations and wedding evening food.
In a rural place like Lyminge, access is the main thing to plan for a hired truck: the gate, the ground and the distance from the lane. We confirm power and water arrangements with you. Timings are planned around your event, whether that is speeches, a lunch break or a festival schedule.
Lyminge: your questions answered
Can you bring a truck or trailer to venues in the Kent Downs National Landscape?
Yes. Some venues there have rules about vehicles, ground and catering, so check with yours. Tell us about narrow lanes and soft ground.
How far is Lyminge from central London?
About 57 miles from central London, and we cover it.
Do you have dairy-free options?
Yes, we can. Let us know your dairy-free numbers, and we’ll include them in the plan.
Do you cater for vegetarian guests?
Of course. Vegetarian and vegan fillings, such as spiced mushrooms or black beans, can be part of the menu, served alongside the meat options.
Can you serve in the rain?
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.
How does food truck hire work?
We bring our truck or trailer to your venue, park in the agreed spot and serve your guests from the hatch. It is a private booking for your guests only.
Can you plan for allergies?
Yes. Tell us about allergies when you book. UK law requires caterers to provide information on 14 allergens, and we give it for every dish (Food Standards Agency guidance). Anyone with a severe allergy should speak to us before the event.
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, and the venue’s agreement. We confirm power and water with you for each booking.
Planning the serving area
Access is the first thing to check for a truck or trailer. We need:
- A flat parking spot on firm ground or hardstanding
- A spot away from neighbours
- Any parking or loading permission needed for street locations
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and the access, and we’ll advise.

What happens on the day
When we arrive, we park the truck or trailer in the agreed spot and set up. We are ready to serve at the agreed time, planned around your event. December events in Lyminge lose the light at about 3:50pm, so ask the venue about outdoor lighting where we’ll park. In late June, it stays light until about 9:15pm.

Planning help
Organising for someone else?
For larger events, we plan serving points around your timings, so guests are looked after quickly. Let us know how long the break is.
If your event is in a public space, such as a park, check what permission you need first. We can send what the landowner or council needs from us.
