Food truck hire in Monkton
Hiring a food truck in Monkton
Monkton is about 5 miles south-west of Margate, in Kent. For an event in Monkton, we can serve in gardens, fields, venues, car parks and courtyards with access in and around Monkton. Monkton is one of 922 places in Kent where we can bring food truck hire. Our truck and trailer cover the area from Monkton to Canterbury (about 10 miles away).
After a service at a church such as Church of Saint Mary Magdalene, a hired food truck at a garden, field or venue nearby can feed everyone. Rail travellers will be glad to hear that Minster station is about 1.8 miles away. The coast is within about 6 miles of Monkton, 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 usually need permission.
Wherever your event is in CT12, we can bring the truck or trailer to your guests. Whether your event is on Monkton Street, Collards Close and Seamark Close or anywhere nearby, we can bring food truck hire there, given access. For events just outside Monkton, we cover Hoo (1 mile east), St Nicholas at Wade (1 mile north-west), Sarre (2 miles west), East Stourmouth (2 miles south-west) and Westmarsh (2 miles south). Larger places within reach include Canterbury (10 miles south-west), Margate (5 miles north-east), Dover (14 miles south), Ramsgate (6 miles east), Broadstairs (7 miles east) and Whitstable (11 miles west).
Well-known places in the area include Powell-Cotton Museum (2.4 miles north-east) and Queen Elizabeth the Queen Mother Hospital (5.5 miles north-east). Not far away are Sandwich and Pegwell Bay.
About our food truck hire in Monkton
You could pick fillings such as chicken tinga, carnitas or beef birria, with vegan choices like black bean and sweet potato. We plan for vegan, vegetarian, dairy-free and gluten-free guests. At retirement parties and client hospitality, we can serve burrito bowls, fresh salsas and guacamole and quesadillas and more.
In a rural place like Monkton, 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, vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and dairy-free included, with allergen information for everything we serve.

How it works
A typical event goes like this: we park up and get ready, service opens at the agreed time, and your guests are served fresh for the agreed time. Evening events in Monkton stay light until about 9:15pm at midsummer. After that, festoon lights or lamps near the truck help guests order.

DIY taco night or a caterer?
Plenty of people try a DIY taco night at home. The usual problems are cold tortillas, running out of a popular filling and a host stuck at the stove. If you’d rather enjoy the party, let us serve.

Before you choose a spot
We’ll agree the spot with you before the day. A good spot ticks these boxes:

- The venue’s or landowner’s permission for a food truck
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and the access, and we will advise before booking.
