Food truck hire in Strood
Hiring a food truck in Strood
Strood is about 11 miles south-west of Ashford, in Kent. From the centre of Strood to the outskirts, food truck hire works the same way: a truck or trailer at your event, options for every diet and a clear price. Strood is one of 922 towns and villages in Kent where we can bring food truck hire. You can also see our page for Maidstone, about 15 miles away.
After a service at a church such as Parish Church of St Mary, a hired food truck at a garden, field or venue nearby can feed everyone. Strood is about 44 miles from central London, which can suit a team day out of the city with a hired food truck. Strood is within about 6 miles of the High Weald 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.

Food truck hire for your event in Strood
We cook inside our food truck or trailer, so your venue doesn’t need a kitchen. We need a level spot, safe access and the venue’s permission, with power and water confirmed per booking. It works well for wedding receptions and birthday parties, serving loaded nachos, vegan tacos and burrito bowls.
In a hamlet or village like Strood, our truck or trailer can serve a private party or a team day in a field or garden. Guests order at the hatch, so plan a sheltered spot for the queue in case of rain. Food and drinks can be booked together or separately, so the food and drinks can come from one caterer.
What food truck hire costs
Every event is priced individually, based on a few main things:
- The number of people
- Staff for serving and the bar
- Travel, parking and access
- Whether you need disposables
A food truck can be a practical alternative to plated catering, because it needs no venue kitchen. Ask us for a quote.
Details that help
Here’s what makes a quick, accurate quote possible:
- Roughly how many adults and children
- Diets and allergies you know about
- Your menu ideas
- Your date and when you want service to start
We need only a few details to quote: date, location, guest numbers and diets. To send them, send us your details through our quote form.
Step by step
It is a relaxed, well-organised set-up. Arrival and serving times are agreed beforehand, get the serving area ready, and get on with serving. At midsummer, it stays light in Strood until about 9:15pm, and by late September sunset is about 7:00pm. In December it’s 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.
- We drive in, open the hatch and serve your guests.
- After service, we close up and leave the spot clear.
How to prepare
- Choose a level, firm spot for the truck or trailer
- Tell us what power and water the site has
- Let us know the timings for the day

DIY taco night or a caterer?
You can host your own taco night for a crowd, but it takes planning. Fillings need slow cooking, tortillas need warming as you go, and salsas need making. Our taco bar guide explains how.
Doing it yourself? Start with the quantities: see how many tacos per person. Keep tortillas warm in a covered basket, and label anything containing allergens.
Before you choose a spot
Before the day, we will agree where we park and serve. It needs to meet a few simple requirements:
- A way in wide and high enough for the vehicle
- A place for guests to eat close to the hatch
- A spot away from neighbours
Not sure about your space? Send us a photo and we will tell you honestly before you book.
Planners, venues and businesses
For larger events, we plan serving points around your timings, so everyone is served promptly. Let us know how long the break is.
Wedding planners and venue coordinators are welcome to contact us directly, and we’ll keep everyone informed on the day.
