Hiring a food truck in Maypole
Maypole is about 2 miles south-east of Herne Bay, in Kent. Whether your event is in the middle of Maypole or on the outskirts, we offer the same service: a truck or trailer at your event, options for every diet and a clear price. Maypole is one of 922 places in Kent we cover.
If you’re celebrating after a ceremony at a church like Church of the Holy Cross, our food truck or trailer can be waiting at the reception spot. Before you plan a private event in Curtis Wood, ask whoever manages it about vehicles on site. The coast is within about 3 miles of Maypole, 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 normally need permission.
We serve at events all over CT3 and the streets around it. We can cater an event on streets such as Maypole Lane and Maypole Road or the roads around them. We also serve at events in Old Tree (1 mile east), Millbank (1 mile north), Hoath (1 mile south), Knave's Ash (1 mile south-west) and Highstead (1 mile north-east). Within a short drive, we also cover Canterbury (5 miles south-west), Margate (10 miles east), Dover (15 miles south-east), Ramsgate (11 miles east), Broadstairs (12 miles east) and Whitstable (6 miles west).
Well-known places in the area include St Martins Hospital (4.9 miles south-west). Not far away are West Blean and Thornden Woods.

Maypole questions
Could you serve in Curtis Wood?
It depends on the park’s owner, who would need to agree to a catering vehicle on site. Ask them first; if they say yes, we will send what they need from us.
How far is Maypole from London?
About 55 miles from central London, and well within our area.
Is the truck suitable for a large group?
Hiring the truck or trailer normally suits around 50 to 400 guests. Smaller gatherings are looked at case by case.
When should we book?
As soon as you have a date. Popular dates go first, so it pays to ask early.
What’s on the menu?
Mexican street food: tacos, taco bars, burritos, bowls, nachos and quesadillas, with salsas, guacamole and toppings. A drinks bar is available too.
Can you keep it mild?
That is your choice: we can keep it mild and put the hotter salsas on the side. Read more about how spicy Mexican food is.
How does food truck hire work?
Our truck or trailer comes to your venue and serves your guests from the hatch. It is a private booking for your guests only.
Do you take everything away?
We pack down and tidy our own area after service. For anything beyond that, such as guests’ tables, ask us.
Catering for every guest
A little planning makes sure everyone can eat. Try these:
- Look into parking permissions if the truck cannot go off-road
- Guests with serious allergies should contact us first
- Tell us how many children are coming
- Plan a covered area for guests to eat
We drive in at the agreed time and park in the planned spot. Someone on site to meet us makes it smoother.
Margaritas, Mexican beer and aguas frescas from our drinks bar can be added to the booking, with licensing checked with you.
Working with your venue
For larger events, we plan serving points around your timings, so guests are looked after quickly. Tell us how long you have for food and drinks.
