About our food truck hire in Manston
Food truck hire suits weddings, milestone birthdays and staff events, and any gathering where guests want hot food without a sit-down meal. It works well for family celebrations and wedding receptions, with vegan tacos, tacos from the hatch and burritos.
In a rural place like Manston, access is the main thing to plan for a hired truck: the gate, the ground and the distance from the lane. Power and water may be limited, so we confirm the arrangements before the day. Every guest is catered for, gluten-free, dairy-free, vegetarian and vegan included, with allergen information for everything we serve.
Manston: your questions answered
Is Manston close to London?
Roughly 64 miles from the centre of London, and well within our area.
Can you serve near the sea around Manston?
Yes, with permission for the spot and firm ground for the truck or trailer. Wind, sand and seafront permissions are the main things to plan on the coast.
When should we book?
As soon as you have a date. Peak dates go quickly, so contact us early.
Do you offer a bar with the truck?
The drinks bar comes with bar staff and alcohol-free choices. We will talk through licensing first.
How many guests can you serve?
It depends on the menu and how long service runs, but our truck and trailer service normally suits around 50 to 400 guests. For anything outside that, ask us.
Do you have gluten-free options?
Yes, gluten-free options are available, using corn tortillas. Tell us about any coeliac guests before the event so we can talk through how their food is prepared. See are corn tortillas gluten-free?
Do you do parties at home?
Yes, if the truck or trailer can get in and park on level, firm ground. Tell us about the drive, gates and any slopes, and we’ll tell you honestly whether it works.
Do you have vegan options?
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 I do a taco night myself?
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.
Doing it yourself? Start with the quantities: our guide to how many tacos per person helps. Keep warmed tortillas covered, and label anything containing allergens.
Hiring our taco truck near Manston
Manston is about 2 miles west of Ramsgate, in Kent. Whether your event is in the middle of Manston or on the outskirts, food truck hire works the same way: a truck or trailer at your event, options for every diet and a clear price. Manston is one of 922 places in Kent where we can bring food truck hire. We cater right across the region, from Manston to Canterbury (13 miles away).
Close to Manston are historic houses such as Quex Park (2.5 miles north-west). Historic houses and estates typically have firm rules on vehicles, so ask where a hired food truck could park before you book. Guests leaving a church like St. Catherine's Church could walk or drive to a nearby garden or hall where the truck is ready. With the coast within about 3 miles of Manston, wind is worth planning for. A sheltered, firm spot for the truck or trailer and the queue works best.
Here we cover the CT12 postcode area, and we can cater your event anywhere in it with access for the truck or trailer. Local streets include High Street, The Meadows and Manston Road; for an event at home on any of them, tell us where the truck or trailer can park. Neighbouring places where we cater events include Haine (1 mile north-east), Flete (1 mile north), Newington (1 mile east), Cliffs End (1 mile south) and Chilton (1 mile south-east).

Food truck hire or something else?
For food that becomes part of the event, a private food truck is a strong option. Catering from a truck or trailer can be a practical alternative to a sit-down meal, as there is no kitchen to hire. Ask us for a quote.
