Food truck hire in Penenden Heath, from our truck or trailer
The truck or trailer is a working kitchen on wheels, so there’s no need for kitchen space at the venue. What we do need is level ground, a way in and the venue’s agreement. It works well for retirement parties and client events and product launches, with fresh salsas and guacamole, loaded nachos and burritos.
Hire our food truck for an event near Penenden Heath and the kitchen comes with it; we just need level ground, access and the venue’s permission. Food and drinks can be booked together or separately, so one caterer can cover more of the day.
Perfect for your event in Penenden Heath
Guests can come back to the hatch when they’re ready.
We cater all kinds of occasions in Penenden Heath and nearby. Popular bookings include:
- Staff summer parties
- Launch events
- Engagements and anniversaries
- Retirement parties
When the service is at a church such as St Paul's Church, the truck would serve at the reception venue rather than at the church.
What your quote should include
- Whether plates, napkins and cutlery are included
- How many staff are serving, and for how long
- Payment terms and deposit
- How bad weather is handled
Organising for someone else?
If you’re organising for someone else, whether you’re a planner, an office manager or an event organiser, we’ll work directly with you and the venue. It keeps things simple.
If you run the same event each year, tell us your dates early, so we can plan ahead.
Should I do it myself?
Doing it yourself saves money, but the host ends up in the kitchen. Booking a caterer means you can relax with everyone else.
Some hosts like to do it themselves. 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.

FAQs for Penenden Heath
Could you serve in Vinters Valley Park?
Only if the landowner, often the council, allows it. Ask them first, and we will help with the information they need from us.
Do you come to events in the Kent Downs National Landscape?
We do, where the venue allows a catering vehicle. Lanes can be narrow and ground soft, so tell us how we’d get in.
What does hiring your food truck involve?
Our food truck or trailer comes to your venue and serves your guests from the hatch. It’s a private booking for your guests only.
What do you need at the venue?
Level, firm ground or hardstanding, access wide and high enough to drive in, and the venue’s permission. We confirm power and water when you book.
Are plates and napkins included?
That’s confirmed with each quote. Tell us whether your venue has crockery or you’d prefer disposables.
Can we add drinks?
Our Mexican drinks bar can be added to a truck booking, serving margaritas, Mexican beer, aguas frescas and soft drinks. Licensing is checked with you.
How big an event can you cater?
That depends on the menu and the service time, but our truck and trailer service generally suits around 50 to 400 guests. For anything outside that, ask us.
Do you need power and water?
That depends on the set-up, so we confirm power and water arrangements with each booking. Tell us what’s available at your venue.
Diets, allergies and planning
Most events have a mix of diets. To plan for them:
- Ask guests about dietary needs when they reply
- Email us any allergies
- Check gate widths and any height limits
- Check early that your venue allows food trucks
At the end of service, we close the hatch and pack down.
Margaritas, Mexican beer and aguas frescas from our drinks bar can join the truck, with licensing checked with you.
Before you choose a spot
We will be honest if a space will not work. What matters most:
- A flat parking spot on firm ground or hardstanding
- Agreement from the venue to bring in a catering vehicle
- Some space between the truck and nearby homes
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and the access, and we’ll advise.
