Food truck hire for Snargate events
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.
Plenty of people try a DIY taco night at home. The usual problems are cold tortillas, running out of a popular filling and a host stuck at the stove. If you’d rather be with your guests, we will do the serving.
About our food truck hire in Snargate
Guests walk up to the hatch, order and take their food away hot. It’s simple, quick and sociable. Popular choices include burrito bowls, burritos and fresh salsas and guacamole, and it’s a good fit for big birthdays and staff appreciation days.
Somewhere as small as Snargate, food truck hire can mean a garden, a field or a barn. Tell us about narrow lanes, gates and long drives. Firm ground matters, especially after rain. Access, space and power are agreed with you beforehand, so there are no surprises on arrival.

Snargate: your questions answered
Can you cater a reception after a service at Church of St Dunstan?
Yes. The church itself is not where we’d set up, but a hall, field or garden close by with room for the truck or trailer can work well. Let us know the reception address and we will check the access.
Which station is closest to Snargate?
Guests can use Appledore (Kent) station, about 1.1 miles north-west of Snargate.
Is the food made fresh?
We cook to order in our food truck or trailer kitchen, or serve from a taco bar. Slow-cooked fillings are prepared in advance and kept hot on site.
What about power on site?
That depends on the set-up, so we confirm power and water arrangements with each booking. Tell us what’s available at your venue.
What does it cost to hire the truck?
There is no fixed price list, as every booking is different. Tell us your plans and we will quote for your event. Our food truck hire guide explains what affects the cost.
What if the weather’s bad?
We can serve from the hatch in the rain. It’s worth planning a covered area for guests, and tell us if heavy rain could make the ground soft.
Can you cater for special diets?
We plan for diets before the day, but we cannot promise an allergen-free kitchen. Guests with severe allergies should talk to us first.
Do you do food truck hire for weddings?
The truck or trailer can serve the wedding breakfast, evening food or both. We fit service around your running order. Read more in having a food truck at a wedding.
