Running an event in Herne Bay

We serve in all 922 towns and villages in Kent, from the larger towns to small villages, wherever the truck or trailer can get in. Our nearest city page is Canterbury, about 7 miles away.
Hot food from a truck or trailer could give a school fair, for a school such as Herne Bay Junior School, a busy corner. If your event is in Curtis Wood, the organiser will need the landowner’s permission; we’ll supply what they need from us. The coast is within about a mile of Herne Bay, so for seaside events we plan a sheltered pitch, on firm ground rather than sand.

Is Mexican street food right for your event?

Herne Bay questions
Is it possible to have you in Curtis Wood?
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 will send what they need from us.
Can you serve near the sea around Herne Bay?
Yes, with permission for the spot and firm ground for the truck or trailer. Seafront and beach spots usually need permission, and wind is the main thing to plan for.
Is the food suitable for children?
Of course. We can keep dishes mild, and simple options such as quesadillas or nachos can be part of the menu. Include children in your numbers.
Where do you cater?
We cater across London and the South East, including Kent. Find your area.
Do you come to Herne Bay?
Yes. We cater across London and the South East, including Herne Bay and the rest of Kent. For a quote, tell us about it on our contact page.
Can you do dairy-free food?
Yes. We offer dairy-free options.
How is the food prepared?
We cook to order in our food truck or trailer kitchen, or serve from a taco bar. Fillings are slow-cooked beforehand and finished on site.
How soon do we need to book?
As soon as you have a date. Popular dates go first, so contact us early.
How it works
The truck or trailer tends to draw a crowd, so we’ll help you choose a spot with room for a queue. We can serve in the rain, but guests will need somewhere covered. Evening events in Herne Bay have light until about 9:15pm at midsummer; after that, the trading area needs lighting from the organiser or the site.
- We check your dates.
- We agree what we’ll serve and where.
- Paperwork goes over in good time.
- The hatch opens when the event does.
- We serve, then clear the pitch at the end.
