Food truck hire for Skeete events
How our food truck hire works in Skeete
Fillings might include carnitas, al pastor-style pork or chicken tinga, alongside a vegan option such as spiced mushroom. We plan for gluten-free, dairy-free, vegetarian and vegan guests, and corn tortillas suit gluten-free diets. Popular choices include vegan tacos, burrito bowls and quesadillas, and it’s a good fit for winter staff parties and engagements and anniversaries.
For a rural spot like Skeete, food truck hire needs a little planning: the gate, the ground and the distance from the lane. Power and water may be limited, so we confirm the arrangements before the day. Access, space and power are agreed with you beforehand, so set-up goes smoothly.
What happens on the day
We work to your timings. If speeches run late or the photos take longer, let us know and we will adjust where we can. At midsummer, it stays light in Skeete until about 9:15pm, while late September brings sunset forward to around 7:00pm. In December it is dark by about 3:50pm, so the queue by the hatch needs lighting.
- Ask us whether your date is available.
- We agree a hatch menu and send a quote.
- The spot and the way in are agreed in advance.
- On the day, guests order at the hatch and we cook to order.
- We pack down and drive away when service ends.
How to prepare
- Check gates and access routes are wide and high enough
- Give us a contact for the day
- Send us final numbers and dietary needs in good time
How to get a price
We need only a few details to quote: the date, where the event is, how many guests and any dietary needs. To send them, send a quick message through our quote form.

How we price food truck hire
Every event is priced individually, based on a few main things:
- Whether you add a drinks bar or food
- Plates, napkins and cutlery
- The menu you choose
- How many staff you need
If you have a budget in mind, tell us, and we’ll suggest a menu to match. Even a simple menu can feel generous.
What to tell us
The more we know about your event, the better we can plan. Please include:
- The date and time of the event
- Your menu ideas
- The address or venue name
- Any dietary needs and allergies
Getting a quote is simple: share your date, venue, numbers and diets. We’ll come back with a clear quote and a suggested menu.
Should I do it myself?
For a small group, a taco night at home can work well. For larger numbers, mixed diets or a wedding, a caterer takes the pressure off, with allergen information for every dish.
Doing it yourself saves money, but the host ends up in the kitchen. Booking a caterer means you can relax with everyone else.
Before you choose a spot
Many gardens, fields and venues can take a truck or trailer, but there are a few things to check:
- A place for guests to eat close to the hatch
- Enough width and height on the route in
- Agreement from the venue to bring in a catering vehicle
Not sure about your space? Send us a photo and we’ll tell you honestly.

Hiring a food truck in Skeete
Skeete is about 4 miles north of Hythe, in Kent. Give us the address of your event in Skeete, and we will plan access and set-up before the day. We serve in 922 places in Kent, from the larger towns to small villages, wherever the truck or trailer can get in. Our truck and trailer cover the area from Skeete to Canterbury (10 miles away).
Nearby historic houses include Westenhanger Castle (2.7 miles south-west) and Acrise Place (3.2 miles east). If you are hiring a historic venue, check early whether it allows a catering vehicle on site. Roughly 56 miles separate Skeete from central London. Skeete is within about 3 miles of the Kent Downs National Landscape, 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. The coast is within about 5 miles of Skeete, 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 normally need permission.

Nearby, we also cater events in Woodland (1 mile north-east), Hemsted (1 mile north), Lyminge (1 mile east), Rhodes Minnis (1 mile north-east) and Postling (1 mile south).
