About our food truck hire in Palmarsh
Everyone orders at the hatch and gets food cooked to order. It is simple, quick and sociable for guests and hosts. On the menu are burritos, quesadillas and tacos from the hatch, and it suits parties in venue grounds and big birthdays.
For a place the size of Palmarsh, food truck hire at your own home is often simplest: no venue hire, and guests order at the hatch. Tell us about the lane and the drive. You’ll know what’s included before booking: the menu, the service time and any extras you choose.
What we need at the venue
Access is the first thing to check for a truck or trailer. We need:
- A parking suspension, where a street spot is needed
- Space in front of the hatch for guests to queue
- Firm, level ground or hardstanding where the truck or trailer can park

FAQs for Palmarsh
Can you cater a reception after a service at Holy Cross?
Yes, at a garden, field or venue nearby where the truck or trailer can park. Service would be at the reception venue, not the church. Tell us where the reception will be.
Can you bring your truck or trailer to Brockhill Country Park?
Only with permission from whoever runs the park, often the council. Check with them, and we’ll provide what they ask for from us.
What guest numbers do you cater for?
Truck and trailer service usually suits around 50 to 400 guests. Smaller gatherings are looked at case by case.
Can we hire a bar too?
You can add our drinks bar, with margaritas, Mexican beer and aguas frescas. We will talk licensing through with you.
What do you need at the venue?
Access and level ground matter most: a level spot to park, space for guests to queue and a little room for a serving table. Send us a photo and tell us about gates, slopes and soft ground.
How many guests can you serve?
Truck and trailer service usually suits around 50 to 400 guests. Festivals can be bigger, and smaller parties are quoted case by case. Send us your numbers and we will advise.

Hiring a food truck in Palmarsh
Palmarsh is about 2 miles south-west of Hythe, in Kent. For food truck hire in Palmarsh, we can park up at venues, fields, drives and courtyards. We serve in 922 places across Kent. Our truck and trailer cover the area from Palmarsh to Canterbury (about 15 miles away).
When the service is at a church such as Holy Cross, the truck would serve at the reception venue rather than at the church. Parks such as Brockhill Country Park generally need permission for vehicles and catering, so a garden or hired venue is often simpler. The Kent Downs National Landscape is within about 7 miles of Palmarsh, with country venues and gardens where a hired food truck could serve. Some venues in protected landscapes have rules on vehicles, so check with yours. With the sea within about 2 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.

How the day works
We get there well before you want to serve, then set up and prepare everything. Guests come up to order when service opens. By late September, it’s dark in Palmarsh at around 7:00pm, so a later service will need some lighting. A late-May event keeps its light until roughly 8:45pm.
- Share your plans for the event.
- We suggest fillings and dishes for every diet.
- Power, water and timings are agreed with you or the venue.
- Service runs at the times you choose.
- When everyone is fed, we clear our area.
Preparing for the day
- Plan a covered area for guests if rain is likely
- Check the venue is happy to have a truck or trailer on site

- Ask guests about dietary needs when they reply
- Ask guests with severe allergies to speak to us beforehand

- Walk the access route and note narrow gaps
Guests come to the hatch, order and wait a short moment for hot food.

How it compares
Hiring a food truck is different from finding one at a festival. At a festival we trade to the public; a private hire means your guests, your menu and your timings. Comparing caterers?
