Food truck hire for St Lawrence events
St Lawrence questions
Do you cater at coastal events near St Lawrence?
Yes, as long as the site allows it and the ground is firm. Seafront and beach spots typically need permission, and wind is the main thing to plan for.
Which station should guests use for St Lawrence?
St Lawrence has its own station: Ramsgate station.
How long do you serve for?
It depends on your event. We agree arrival, service and pack-down times with you to suit your day.
What about vegan and gluten-free guests?
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. Timings are agreed with you and your venue. See our food truck wedding guide.
What if the weather’s bad?
Rain does not normally stop service from the truck or trailer. Plan cover for guests, such as a marquee or gazebo, and tell us if heavy rain could make the ground soft.
Where do you cater?
London and South East England: Greater London, Kent, Surrey, East and West Sussex, Hampshire, the Isle of Wight, Berkshire, Buckinghamshire, Milton Keynes and Oxfordshire.
What access do you need?
A level, firm spot for the truck or trailer, with access wide and high enough to drive in, and the venue’s agreement. Power and water arrangements are confirmed with each booking.
Food truck hire in St Lawrence, served fresh
Fillings might include carnitas, al pastor-style pork or chicken tinga, with vegan choices like black bean and sweet potato. There are options for gluten-free, dairy-free, vegetarian and vegan guests. It suits leaving dos and retirements and summer parties at home, with vegan tacos, loaded nachos and tacos from the hatch.
Around St Lawrence, a hired food truck can serve in a garden, a field or a hall car park. Narrow roads and soft ground are fine if we know about them. Guests are served from our truck or trailer, or from a serving table nearby, and we plan the service around your numbers.
Prices and what affects them
The same guest numbers can mean different prices, because of:
- Serving staff
- Plates, napkins and cutlery
- Your choice of food and drinks
- How long we are needed on site
Catering from a truck or trailer can be a practical alternative to a sit-down meal, as there is no kitchen to hire. Ask us for a quote.
What to tell us
Here’s what makes a quick, accurate quote possible:
- Gate widths, slopes and the ground
- The venue or postcode
- Expected numbers
- A picture of where we’d park
We quote for each event separately, so the price fits what you actually want. For a quote, fill in our quote form.

Booking for a company? Tell us what your finance team needs, and we will talk you through the process. We can work with your facilities team on access and timings.
DIY taco night versus a caterer
Running your own drinks table is one option, 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 is possible for a crowd, but it is more work than it looks. There are fillings to slow-cook, tortillas to keep warm and salsas to make. Our taco bar guide explains how.

Planning help
Planning the serving area
If a space isn’t suitable, we’ll tell you, and help find another spot. The main points are:
- A flat parking spot on firm ground or hardstanding
- Enough width and height on the route in
- The landowner’s go-ahead for the truck or trailer
If you are unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think.
Diets, allergies and planning
With a little notice, most diets are easy. Our advice:
- Let us know who is coeliac
- Tell us how many children are coming
- Confirm the venue accepts outside caterers and vehicles
- Guests with serious allergies should contact us first
We drive in at the agreed time and park in the planned spot. Someone on site to meet us makes it smoother.
Nachos for sharing at the start are a good way to begin.
