Food truck hire in Postling
How our food truck hire works in Postling
Food truck hire suits weddings, milestone birthdays and staff events, and any gathering where guests want hot food without a sit-down meal. It works well for end-of-year celebrations and anniversary celebrations, with fresh salsas and guacamole, burrito bowls and burritos.
Somewhere as small as Postling, food truck hire can mean a garden, a field or a barn. Lanes, gates and long drives are fine if we know about them. Firm ground matters, especially after rain. Access, space and power are agreed with you beforehand, so set-up goes smoothly.
Comparing your options
A marquee kitchen with plated service needs more space, more staff and more time. Our food truck or trailer brings the kitchen and serves from one hatch, needing level ground, access and the venue’s permission. The cost per head can fall as numbers rise, since the set-up is much the same either way. Give us your numbers and we’ll quote.
What we offer in Postling
- Everything served fresh from the hatch
- Allergen-aware menus
- Events in Postling and across Kent
- Tacos, burritos and a drinks bar

Your questions about food truck hire in Postling
Can you bring your truck or trailer to Sandling Park?
Only with permission from whoever runs the park, often the council. Ask them first, and we will help with the information they need from us.
Do you cater 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.
Can you keep it mild?
That is your choice: we can keep the main dishes mild, with hotter salsas served separately.
Are plates and napkins included?
Ask us when you enquire. Tell us what your venue provides, and we will set out plates, napkins and cutlery in your quote.
What areas do you cover?
London and South East England: Greater London, Kent and Medway, Surrey, East Sussex, West Sussex, Hampshire, the Isle of Wight, Berkshire, Buckinghamshire and Oxfordshire.
Is the truck suitable for a large group?
That depends on your timings and the event. Most bookings fall around 50 to 400 guests, so tell us your numbers.
Do you do a taco bar?
Yes, a taco bar is one of our options. Tell us about your space and numbers and we will suggest the best set-up.
Can you cater in a back garden?
Yes, if the truck or trailer can get in and park on level, firm ground. Send us a picture of the access and the space.
What we need at the venue
If a space is not suitable, we will tell you. What matters most:
- A clear area for a queue at the hatch
- Gate widths, overhead branches and soft ground checked in advance
- 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 before booking.

Food truck hire in Postling: local tips
Postling is about 3 miles north of Hythe, in Kent. From the centre of Postling to the outskirts, food truck hire works the same way: a truck or trailer at your event, options for every diet and a clear price. We cover 922 places in Kent, from the larger towns to small villages. Our truck and trailer cover the area from Postling to Canterbury (12 miles away).
Postling is about 57 miles from central London. Guests leaving a church like Church of St Mary and St Radegund could walk or drive to a nearby garden or hall where the truck is ready. With the Kent Downs National Landscape within about 4 miles, a rural setting for your private or work event is within reach. Firm ground and a clear way in matter most for the truck or trailer. A private event by the sea is within reach, as Postling is within about 4 miles of the coast. Promenades and beaches typically need the council’s agreement for a catering vehicle.

DIY taco night or a caterer?
You can set up your own drinks table, but someone has to serve all evening. Our margarita bar guide has tips.
A DIY taco night works well for a small group. For larger numbers, mixed diets or a wedding, a caterer takes the pressure off, with allergen information for every dish.
Catering for every guest
Every guest is catered for, vegan, vegetarian, dairy-free and gluten-free included. To make it work smoothly:
- Check parking and loading rules for street locations
- Think about cover if the weather turns
- Flag any coeliac guests
- Give us separate numbers for children
If your timings move, let us know.
Quesadillas make an easy option for children.
Planners, venues and businesses
Venues often have their own rules about outside caterers: where vehicles can park, access times and the paperwork they need. Tell us what your venue needs and we will work to it.
Wedding planners and venue coordinators are welcome to contact us directly, and we will keep everyone informed on the day.
How the day works
On the day, we position the truck or trailer and get the serving area ready. Service starts at the time we have agreed, planned around your event. A Christmas party in Postling with a hired food truck will be in the dark from about 3:50pm, so choose a well-lit spot for the truck or trailer. At midsummer, sunset is around 9:15pm.
- Tell us the date, the location, rough numbers and any diets.
- You get a hatch menu and a quote for the hire.
- Before the day, we agree the spot, the way in, power and water.
- Your guests order at the hatch and we serve hot food at the agreed times.
- Once guests are fed, we clear our area and head off.
How to prepare
- Have level hardstanding or firm ground ready
- Give us your final numbers and diets
- Check gates and access routes are wide and high enough

Prices and what affects them
Two events with the same number of guests can cost different amounts, because of:
- Food, drinks or both
- Whether you need disposables
- Distance and access to the venue
- Guest numbers
Pricing depends on the event. A simple party menu and a full wedding day are very different jobs. Your quote sets it all out.
