How our food truck hire works in Northfleet
Fillings might include carnitas, al pastor-style pork or chicken tinga, with vegan choices like black bean and sweet potato. There are options for vegan, vegetarian, dairy-free and gluten-free guests, and corn tortillas suit gluten-free diets. At family celebrations and wedding evening food, we’ll put together a menu of vegan tacos, quesadillas and fresh salsas and guacamole for your guests.
In Northfleet, drives and gardens vary a lot, and the question is whether the truck or trailer can reach a level spot. If it cannot, a car park nearby may work, with permission. Your quote sets out what’s included: the menu, the service time and any extras you choose.

Food truck hire or something else?
A private hire is not the same as a festival stall. At a festival we trade to the public; a private hire means your guests, your menu and your timings. The cost per head can fall as numbers rise, because the set-up is similar for different sizes of event. Give us your numbers and we will quote.
What you get with us
- Access, space and power checked in advance
- Everything served fresh from the hatch

For event organisers in Northfleet
Many venues have rules for outside caterers: vehicle access, arrival times and documents. Tell us what your venue needs and we will work to it.
For larger events, we plan serving points around your timings, so guests are looked after quickly. Let us know how long the break is.
What we need at the venue
Every venue is different, so we will ask about yours before we confirm. Generally, we look for:
- Arrangements for power and water, agreed when you book
- A way in wide and high enough for the vehicle
- Distance from houses and windows
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and the access, and we’ll advise.

It is about 20 miles from central London, and inside the area we cover.
Can you cater a reception after a service at Church of All Saints?
Yes, at a garden, field or venue nearby where the truck or trailer can park. We’d serve at the reception venue rather than at the church itself. Tell us where the reception will be.
Do you have dairy-free options?
We can. Dairy-free options are part of our menus.
Is there a minimum number of guests?
It depends on the menu and how long service runs, but our truck and trailer service generally suits around 50 to 400 guests. For anything outside that, ask us.
Is the food suitable for children?
Yes, children are welcome. Let us know numbers and ages, and we will plan the menu with them in mind.
How soon do we need to book?
The sooner the better. Peak dates go quickly, so contact us early.

Every event is quoted individually, so the price fits what you want. Give us your date, numbers and menu ideas and we will reply with a quote.
Do you clear up afterwards?
We pack down and leave our area tidy. Let us know the venue’s rules on waste and we’ll confirm the arrangements with your quote.
