Food truck hire in Small Hythe
Food truck hire in Small Hythe, from our food truck or trailer
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. It works well for garden parties and big birthdays, serving fresh salsas and guacamole, burrito bowls and quesadillas.
In a small place like Small Hythe, a hired food truck might park in a garden, paddock or field. Tell us about narrow lanes, gates and long drives. Firm ground matters, especially after rain. Guests are served from our food truck or trailer, or from a serving table nearby, and we plan service so the queue keeps moving.
Diets, allergies and planning
Dietary needs are easy to plan for with a little notice. We suggest:
- Tell us when guests should eat
- Have shelter ready in case of rain
- Ask about parking rules if we’ll be on a road
- Email us any allergies
Guests come to the hatch, order and wait a short moment for hot food.
Margaritas, Mexican beer and aguas frescas from our drinks bar can be added to the booking, with licensing checked with you.

What affects the price in Small Hythe
Every event is priced individually, based on a few main things:
- Parking and the route in
- How long we’re needed on site
- Guest numbers
- Food, drinks or both
Catering from a truck or trailer can be a practical alternative to a sit-down meal, because it needs no venue kitchen. Contact us for a quote to compare.
What we need to know
The more we know about your event, the better we can plan. Try to include:
- Roughly how many adults and children
- What you’d like on the menu
- Access for the truck or trailer, including gates and ground
- Your date and when you want service to start
Still deciding on the menu? No problem: give us the basics about your event, and we will make suggestions. When you’re ready, send a quick message through our quote form.
FAQs for Small Hythe
Could you serve our guests after a service at Church of St John the Baptist?
Yes, at a nearby garden, marquee or hall with access for the truck or trailer. Service would be at the reception venue, not the church. Send us the reception address.
Do you hire out your food truck for parties in places like Small Hythe?
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.
Where can the truck park?
A firm, level spot, a way in that fits the vehicle, and the venue’s agreement. We confirm power and water when you book.
Do you offer a bar with the truck?
The drinks bar comes with bar staff and alcohol-free choices. We’ll talk through licensing first.
Do you cater in Small Hythe?
Yes. We cover London and the South East, including Small Hythe. For a quote, use our quote form.
How soon do we need to book?
As soon as you have a date. Popular dates go first, so it pays to ask early.
Do you give allergen information?
We plan allergen-aware menus, including for nut allergies, and give allergen information for every dish. We keep options separate, but we can’t promise anything is completely allergen-free. Guests with severe allergies should talk to us before the event.
Can you run a bar?
Yes, we do. The drinks bar can be added to food or booked on its own, with alcohol-free options such as aguas frescas. For alcohol, we’ll talk licensing through with you and your venue.
DIY taco night or a caterer?
Doing it yourself saves money, but the host ends up in the kitchen. With a caterer, you get the food and drinks without the work.
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, and handles allergen information for you.
