Food truck hire for Shorne events
Food truck hire in Shorne, served fresh
Guests walk up to the hatch, order and take their food away hot. It keeps things easy and relaxed. It works well for wedding evening food and engagements and anniversaries, with quesadillas, vegan tacos and burrito bowls.
In a small place like Shorne, a hired food truck might park in a garden, paddock or field. Lanes, gates and long drives are fine if we know about them. Soft ground after rain is worth mentioning too. We will check the space, access and power with you before the day, so set-up goes smoothly.
For planners, venues and organisers
For larger events, we plan serving points around your timings, so everyone is served promptly. Tell us how long you have for food and drinks.
Wedding planners and venue coordinators are welcome to contact us directly, and we’ll keep everyone informed on the day.
What we need at the venue
Every venue is different, so we ask about the space when you get in touch. In general, we need:
- The venue’s or landowner’s permission for a food truck
- Power and water, confirmed with each booking
- A clear area for a queue at the hatch
If you are unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think.

Hiring a food truck in Shorne
Shorne is about 2 miles south-east of Gravesend, in Kent. For food truck hire in Shorne, we can park up at venues, fields, drives and courtyards. We serve in all 922 towns and villages in Kent, from the larger towns to small villages, wherever the truck or trailer can get in. You can also see our page for Maidstone, about 11 miles away.
When the service is at a church such as Church of St Peter and St Paul, the truck would serve at the reception venue rather than at the church. Roughly 23 miles separate Shorne from central London, which can suit a team day out of the city with a hired food truck.
We cater events across DA12. Streets in the area include The Street, Cob Drive and Crown Green, and an event on any of them can work if the truck or trailer can park nearby. We also serve at events in Upper Ifield (1 mile west), Shorne Ridgeway (1 mile south), Higham (1 mile east), Thong (1 mile west) and Gadshill (1 mile east). We also cater in nearby towns such as Maidstone (11 miles south), Sittingbourne (14 miles east), Dartford (9 miles west), Sevenoaks (14 miles south-west), Northfleet (4 miles west) and Swanley (11 miles west).
A little further out are Gravesham Museum (3.2 miles north-west) and Gravesham Community Hospital (3.4 miles north-west). Not far away are Rede Common and Gad's Hill.
- Schools near Shorne include Thamesview School (1.6 miles west)
- Pubs nearby include The Rose and Crown pub (under half a mile south)
DIY taco night versus a caterer
You can set up your own drinks table, but someone still has to mix, pour and keep an eye on it all evening. Our margarita bar guide has tips.
A DIY taco night works well for a small group. For big numbers or lots of diets, a caterer makes life easier, with allergen information for every dish.

Planning for every diet
We take diets and allergies seriously. Here’s how you can help:
- Measure gates and look for low branches on the way in
- Add a dietary question to the invitation
- Ask about parking rules if we’ll be on a road
- Plan a covered area for guests to eat
We drive in at the agreed time and park in the planned spot. It helps if someone can meet us on arrival.
Add a build-your-own taco bar beside the truck.
How it works
From set-up to service, we look after everything you’ve booked from us, so you can spend time with your guests. December events in Shorne lose the light at about 3:50pm, so ask the venue about outdoor lighting where we will park. In late June, it stays light until about 9:20pm.
