Food truck hire in Wateringbury, served fresh
Our drinks bar can be hired with the truck for margaritas, Mexican beer and aguas frescas. We can add a taco-bar station next to the truck. It works well for winter staff parties and engagements and anniversaries, with burritos, quesadillas and vegan tacos.
For a rural spot like Wateringbury, food truck hire needs a little planning: gate widths, soft ground and the route from the road all matter. We confirm power and water arrangements with you. We plan the timings around your day, so service starts when you want it.
Food truck hire in Wateringbury: local tips
Wateringbury is about 5 miles west of Maidstone, in Kent. From the centre of Wateringbury to the outskirts, we offer the same service: fresh service from our food truck or trailer, every diet planned for and a clear quote. We cover all 922 towns and villages across Kent, from the larger towns to small villages.
Nearby historic houses include Old Soar Manor (4.4 miles west). Historic houses and estates normally have firm rules on vehicles, so ask where a hired food truck could park before you book. When the service is at a church such as Church of St John the Baptist, the truck would serve at the reception venue rather than at the church.
Food truck hire in ME18 is planned around your venue and access and your guests. Your event could be at a home on Glebe Meadow, Allington Gardens and Hanbury Close or the roads around them. Close by, we cover events in Nettlestead (1 mile south-west), Red Hill (1 mile north-east), Teston (1 mile east), Kings Hill (1 mile north-west) and West Farleigh (1 mile east). We also cater in nearby towns such as Maidstone (5 miles east), Sittingbourne (15 miles north-east), Sevenoaks (10 miles west), Royal Tunbridge Wells (11 miles south-west), Gravesend (12 miles north) and Tonbridge (7 miles south-west).
Nearby you will also find Oakwood Hospital (2.9 miles east) and Teapot Island (2.2 miles south).
- Pubs nearby include The Wateringbury pub (less than half a mile east)

How the day works
Service is quick and friendly: we serve from the hatch or a serving station, so even a long queue moves. When service ends, we pack down. At midsummer, it stays light in Wateringbury until about 9:20pm, and by late September sunset is about 7:00pm. For winter events, dark by about 3:50pm, plan lighting where guests queue at the hatch.
- First come the basics: date, location, numbers and diets.
- You get a hatch menu and a quote for the hire.
- Before the day, we agree the spot, the way in, power and water.
- Your guests order at the hatch and we serve hot food at the agreed times.
- When service ends, we pack up and leave the spot clear.
Getting ready for the day
- Measure any gates or arches on the way in
- Choose a level, firm spot for the truck or trailer
- Tell us what power and water the site has

Wateringbury: your questions answered
Can you cater a reception after a service at Church of St John the Baptist?
Yes, at a garden, field or venue nearby where the truck or trailer can park. Service would be at the reception venue, not the church. Send us the reception address.
Do you cater in villages like Wateringbury?
Yes. Villages and hamlets are part of our area, and the main thing is access: tell us about the lane, the gate and the ground.
How much is a food truck for an event?
Every event is quoted individually, based on what you actually need. Give us your date, numbers and menu ideas and we’ll reply with a quote.
What’s on the menu?
Every menu is agreed with you. Fillings could include slow-cooked pork carnitas, chicken tinga, beef birria and vegan options such as spiced mushrooms or black beans. Our sample menu has more ideas.
Can you cater for special diets?
We plan for diets before the day, but we can’t promise an allergen-free kitchen. Anyone with a severe allergy should contact us before the event.
How is the food prepared?
Food is cooked to order in our truck or trailer, or served from a build-your-own taco bar. Fillings are slow-cooked beforehand and finished on site.
How many guests can you serve?
That depends on the menu and the service time, but around 50 to 400 guests is the usual range. For anything outside that, ask us.
Is the truck suitable for a large group?
That depends on your timings and the event. Most bookings fall around 50 to 400 guests.
