Food truck hire for Pegwell events
About our food truck hire in Pegwell
Pair the truck with our Mexican drinks bar with margaritas, Mexican beer and aguas frescas, with licensing checked with you. We can add a taco-bar station next to the truck. For staff summer parties and private outdoor parties, we will put together a menu of loaded nachos, burrito bowls and vegan tacos and more.
For a rural spot like Pegwell, food truck hire needs a little planning: gate widths, soft ground and the route from the road all matter. Power and water may be limited, so we confirm the arrangements before the day. Guests are served from our food truck or trailer, or from a serving table nearby, and we plan the service around your numbers.

Hiring a food truck in Pegwell
Pegwell is about 1 mile south-west of St Lawrence, in Kent. Tell us where your event in Pegwell will be, and we will plan the journey and set-up before the day. Pegwell is one of 922 places in Kent we cover. Our truck and trailer cover the area from Pegwell to Canterbury (14 miles away).
After a service at a church such as Church of St Laurence, a hired food truck at a garden, field or venue nearby can feed everyone. With the A299 nearby, getting our truck or trailer to Pegwell is straightforward. The coast is within about 2 miles of Pegwell, 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 typically need permission.

Local streets include Saxon Road, Downs Road and London Road; for an event at home on any of them, tell us where the truck or trailer can park.

Pegwell questions
Can we hire your food truck for a private party in Pegwell?
Yes, depending on the date. For a private or work event in a village or hamlet, the main thing is access: tell us about the lane, the gate and the ground.
How far is Pegwell from London?
Roughly 65 miles from the centre of London, and well within our area.
What do you serve?
We agree a sample menu with each client. Fillings might include chicken tinga, pork carnitas, al pastor-style pork and vegan options like black beans. See our menu for ideas.
How is private hire different from festival trading?
When you hire us, the booking is yours, so we don’t serve passers-by. Event organisers should see street food for festivals.
How does private food truck hire work?
We bring our food truck or trailer to your venue, park in the agreed spot and serve your guests from the hatch. It’s a private booking for your guests only.
How is the food prepared?
We cook to order in our food truck or trailer kitchen, or serve from a taco bar. Slow-cooked fillings are prepared in advance and kept hot on site.
Can you serve in the rain?
We can serve from the hatch in the rain. It’s worth planning a covered area for guests, and tell us if heavy rain could make the ground soft.
When do you arrive?
We arrive in good time to set up before service. The length of service is agreed when you book.
Can I do a taco night myself?
Weighing up a DIY taco night against a caterer? Think about numbers, diets and how much you want to enjoy the day. Ask us for a quote and compare.
Plenty of people try a DIY taco night at home. Common snags are cold tortillas, uneven quantities and the host missing the party. If you’d rather be with your guests, we will do the serving.
Planning the serving area
We’ll agree the spot with you before the day. A good spot ticks these boxes:
- Space in front of the hatch for guests to queue
- The landowner’s go-ahead for the truck or trailer
- Parking arrangements if we are not on private land
If you are unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think before booking.
Food truck hire or something else?
Burger and pizza vans are familiar. Tacos and burritos from a truck feel different. The cost per head can fall as numbers rise, because the set-up is similar for different sizes of event. Tell us your numbers for an accurate price.

Dietary needs and planning tips
Nearly every event has some special diets. To cater well for them:
- Look into parking permissions if the truck can’t go off-road

Wet weather does not close the hatch, though a marquee or gazebo helps guests stay dry.
Simple quesadillas suit younger guests.
