How our food truck hire works in West Hythe
We cook inside our truck or trailer, so your venue doesn’t need a kitchen. What we do need is level ground, a way in and the venue’s agreement, with power and water confirmed per booking. For family celebrations and anniversary celebrations, we can serve vegan tacos, loaded nachos and quesadillas.
Near West Hythe, a hired food truck in a field or garden suits private parties and work away days alike. Guests order at the hatch, so plan a sheltered spot for the queue in case of rain. We plan the timings around your day, whether that is speeches, a lunch break or a festival schedule.
West Hythe questions
Do you hire out your food truck for parties in places like West Hythe?
Yes, subject to the date and access for the truck or trailer. Tell us about the lane, gates, ground and parking.
Could you come to a seaside event near West Hythe?
Yes, with permission for the spot and firm ground for the truck or trailer. Wind, sand and seafront permissions are the main things to plan on the coast.
What areas do you cover?
London and South East England: Greater London, Kent and Medway, Surrey, East Sussex, West Sussex, Hampshire, the Isle of Wight, Berkshire, Buckinghamshire and Oxfordshire.
Do you offer a bar with the truck?
The drinks bar comes with bar staff. Alcohol needs the right licence, which we will check with you.
How is private hire different from festival trading?
A private hire is booked and quoted for you, so we do not serve passers-by. Event organisers should see street food for festivals.
How much does food truck hire cost?
Each hire is quoted individually, based on guest numbers, the menu, the location and service times. Contact us for a quote.
How does private food truck hire work?
