Food truck hire in Alfriston
About our food truck hire in Alfriston
A hired food truck works for weddings, birthdays and staff days, and any gathering where guests want hot food without a sit-down meal. It suits wedding evening food and retirement parties, with loaded nachos, burrito bowls and quesadillas.
In a hamlet or village like Alfriston, our truck or trailer can serve a private party or a team day in a field or garden. Guests order at the hatch, so plan a sheltered spot for the queue in case of rain. We serve from the hatch of our food truck or trailer, or from a serving station, and we plan service so the queue keeps moving.

For event organisers in Alfriston
Many venues have rules for outside caterers: where vehicles can park, access times and the paperwork they need. Send us your venue’s requirements and we will follow them.
For larger events, we plan serving points around your timings, so guests are looked after quickly. Tell us how long you have for food and drinks.
Where the truck can go in Alfriston
Before the day, we will agree where we park and serve. A good spot ticks these boxes:
- Agreement from the venue to bring in a catering vehicle
- Distance from houses and windows
- Any parking or loading permission needed for street locations
If you are unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think before booking.
Step by step
Your timings come first. If speeches run late or the photos take longer, tell us and we’ll adjust the start of service where we can. At midsummer, it stays light in Alfriston until about 9:15pm, while late September brings sunset forward to around 7:05pm. In December it is dark by about 3:55pm, so the queue by the hatch needs lighting.
- Check our availability for your date.
- We agree a hatch menu and send a quote.
- The spot and the way in are agreed in advance.
- On the day, guests order at the hatch and we cook to order.
- We pack down and drive away when service ends.
Before we arrive
- Have level hardstanding or firm ground ready
- Send us final numbers and dietary needs in good time
- Confirm the venue allows outside caterers

Alfriston: your questions answered
Do you hire out your food truck for parties in places like Alfriston?
Yes, depending on the date. For a private or work event in a village or hamlet, the main thing is access: tell us about the lane, the gate and the ground.
Do you come to events in the South Downs National Park?
We do, where the venue allows a catering vehicle. Lanes can be narrow and ground soft, so tell us how we’d get in.
Do you take everything away?
We clear our own area when service is finished. Ask us if you’d like help with anything else.
Can you come to a private house?
Yes, as long as there is access and a level, firm spot. Send us a photo of the access and the space, and we’ll tell you honestly whether it works.
How does private food truck hire work?
Our truck or trailer comes to your venue and serves your guests from the hatch. It is a private booking for your guests only.
Can you serve in the rain?
We can keep serving from the truck or trailer in the rain, but your guests will want somewhere covered, such as a marquee, gazebo or nearby building.
What about vegan and gluten-free guests?
Diets are planned with you in advance, though we can’t guarantee there are no traces of any allergen. Anyone with a severe allergy should contact us before the event.
Do you have dairy-free options?
Yes, on request. Tell us how many guests need dairy-free food, and we will plan the menu around them.
