Food truck hire near Upstreet
Food truck hire in Upstreet, served fresh
You choose the hatch menu with us: tacos and burritos, with bowls, nachos or quesadillas if you like, with fresh salsas and guacamole. Popular choices include burrito bowls, fresh salsas and guacamole and tacos from the hatch, and it suits family reunions and parties in venue grounds.
Somewhere as small as Upstreet, food truck hire can mean a garden, a field or a barn. Lanes, gates and long drives are fine if we know about them. Soft ground after rain is worth mentioning too. You can book food, drinks or both, so one caterer can cover more of the day.
What affects the price in Upstreet
Pricing is straightforward once we know the basics:
- Staff for serving and the bar
- Whether you add a drinks bar or food
- How long we’re needed on site
- How many guests we’re serving
Extra dishes, drinks and longer service are priced on request, so you can choose what you need.
What to tell us
We can quote more accurately with a few details. Here’s what to include:
- A photo of the space, if it’s a garden or field
- Any dietary needs and allergies
- The date and rough timings
- Access for the truck or trailer, including gates and ground
Send us the date, your venue or CT3 postcode and guest numbers, along with any dietary needs, and we will reply with a menu suggestion and a quote. Just send a quick message through our quote form.
Hiring our taco truck near Upstreet
Upstreet is about 4 miles south-east of Herne Bay, in Kent. Wherever your event is in the CT3 area, we can serve your guests, as long as there is access. We cater in 922 places across Kent, wherever the truck or trailer can get in. We cater right across the region, from Upstreet to Canterbury (about 6 miles away).
If guests are travelling by rail, the nearest station is Sturry station, about 3.8 miles south-west. When the service is at a church such as Church of St Mary the Virgin, the truck would serve at the reception venue rather than at the church. With the sea within about 5 miles, 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.
Wherever your event is in CT3, we can bring the truck or trailer to your guests. Streets in the area include St Mary's Gardens, Becketts Wood and Grove Ferry Hill, and an event on any of them can work if the truck or trailer can park nearby. Neighbouring places where we cater events include Grove (1 mile south), West Stourmouth (2 miles east), Sarre (2 miles north-east), Preston (2 miles south-east) and East Stourmouth (2 miles east). Larger places within reach include Canterbury (6 miles south-west), Margate (9 miles north-east), Dover (14 miles south), Ramsgate (9 miles east), Broadstairs (10 miles east) and Whitstable (8 miles west).
Well-known places in the area include St Martins Hospital (5.2 miles south-west). Green spaces nearby include West Blean and Thornden Woods.
- Local schools include Spires Academy (2.4 miles west)
- Nearby, you’ll find The Grove Ferry Inn (under half a mile east)
For event organisers in Upstreet
If you’re planning an event on someone’s behalf, such as a wedding planner, an office manager or a festival organiser, we’re happy to deal with you and the venue directly. It saves passing messages back and forth.
If your event is in a public space, such as a park, check what permission you need first. We can send what the landowner or council needs from us.
Before you choose a spot
The route in matters as much as the spot itself. We need:
- The venue’s or landowner’s permission for a food truck
- A place for guests to eat close to the hatch
- A flat parking spot on firm ground or hardstanding
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and the access, and we’ll advise before you book.
Popular choices
- Mexican drinks bar
- Loaded nachos
- Burritos
- Quesadillas
- Burrito bowls

Upstreet: your questions answered
Could we book your food truck for a private event in Upstreet?
Yes, subject to the date and access for the truck or trailer. Let us know about access and where we’d park.
Could you serve in Grove Ferry Picnic Area?
It depends on the park’s owner, who would need to agree to a catering vehicle on site. Ask them first; if they say yes, we’ll send what they need from us.
How spicy is the food?
It is up to you: we can keep the main dishes mild, with hotter salsas served separately.
How long do you serve for?
That depends on your event and menu. Timings are agreed in advance to suit your day.
Do you do food truck hire for weddings?
We can serve from the truck for the wedding meal, the evening or both. We fit service around your running order. See our food truck wedding guide.
What about vegan and gluten-free guests?
We plan vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and dairy-free options, with corn tortillas for gluten-free guests. Every dish has allergen information.
Do you have options for kids?
Of course. Mild dishes, quesadillas and nachos can be part of the menu. Include children in your numbers.
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.

In December it is dark by about 3:50pm, so the queue by the hatch needs lighting.

- The spot and the way in are agreed in advance.
- We drive in, open the hatch and serve your guests.
- We pack down and drive away when service ends.
