How our food truck hire works in Whitstable
We bring the truck or trailer to private and work events in and around Whitstable, from gardens to venue grounds and business parks. At family reunions and weddings, we can serve vegan tacos, quesadillas and fresh salsas and guacamole and more.
In Whitstable, drives and gardens vary a lot, and the question is whether the truck or trailer can reach a level spot. A nearby car park can also work, with permission. We serve from the hatch of our truck or trailer, or from a serving station, and we plan the service around your numbers.
What happens on the day
On the day, we park the truck or trailer in the agreed spot and set up. Service starts at the time we’ve agreed, so everything runs to your schedule. At midsummer, it stays light in Whitstable until about 9:15pm, and by late September sunset is about 7:00pm. In December it is 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.
- We pack down and drive away when service ends.
Preparing for the day
- Have a marquee or gazebo ready in case of rain
- Confirm numbers and diets before the day
- Let us know the timings for the day

More for events in Whitstable
Should I do it myself?
Plenty of people try a DIY taco night at home. The usual problems are cold tortillas, running out of a popular filling and a host stuck at the stove. If you’d rather enjoy the party, let us serve.
A DIY taco night works well for a small group. For larger numbers, mixed diets or a wedding, a caterer takes the pressure off, with allergen information for every dish.
Whitstable questions
Do you cater at coastal events near Whitstable?
Yes, with permission for the spot and firm ground for the truck or trailer. Seafront and beach spots typically need permission, and wind is the main thing to plan for.
Could you serve in Foxes Cross Bottom?
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.
Do you give allergen information?
Yes, and it helps to hear about allergies when you book. Under UK rules, caterers must give information on 14 allergens, and we do that for every dish (Food Standards Agency guidance). Anyone with a severe allergy should speak to us before the event.
Is the food very hot?
That is your choice: we can keep the main dishes mild, with hotter salsas served separately.
What do you serve?
Mexican street food: tacos and build-your-own taco bars, burritos, burrito bowls, nachos and quesadillas, plus salsas, guacamole and toppings. A drinks bar is available too.
Where do you cater?
We cater across London and the South East, Kent included. Find your area.
What space does the truck need?
Send us the address and a description of the spot, and we will check the access. Our guide to space and power has more.
How does private food truck hire work?
You hire the truck or trailer for agreed service times. We cook to order, serve from the hatch and pack down afterwards.
How it compares
Plated catering needs a kitchen tent, waiting staff and set courses. A food truck arrives as a kitchen and serves from the hatch, needing level ground, access and the venue’s permission. Pricing depends on the event. A short lunch service for a team is a different job from a full wedding day. Contact us for a quote.
