Food Truck Hire across West Sussex

Food truck hire across West Sussex

Everyone orders at the hatch and gets food cooked to order. It is simple, quick and sociable for guests and hosts. Popular choices include fresh salsas and guacamole, loaded nachos and vegan tacos, which works well for retirement parties and back-garden parties.

From set-up to service, we look after everything you’ve booked from us, so you can enjoy your event.

  1. Send us your date, the address, a headcount and dietary needs.
  2. We suggest a menu for the hatch and quote for it.
  3. Before the day, we agree the spot, the way in, power and water.
  4. On the day we drive in, set up and serve to order from the hatch.
  5. Once guests are fed, we clear our area and head off.

What it costs in West Sussex

The cost per head can fall as numbers rise, since the set-up is much the same either way. Give us your numbers and we’ll quote.

Why book with us

  • Fast service, even with a queue
  • Food and drinks from one caterer, if you want both
  • Allergen information for everything we serve

Local landmarks in Crawley

Local spots for an event include homes and venues near Friary Church of St Francis and St Anthony, St Wilfrid's Catholic School and Tilgate Park and the streets around them. Other local landmarks include The George Hotel (under half a mile north), Three Bridges Junior School (under half a mile south-east) and St Francis of Assisi Catholic Primary School (within half a mile south-east). Crawley has its own railway station: Crawley station. Well-known places in the area include Crawley Hospital (0.5 miles north-west) and County Mall (under half a mile north-east). For a walk before or after the party, there is Tilgate Lake.

Food truck hire across West Sussex

Food truck hire across West Sussex covers private parties and work events, from Crawley, Horsham and Worthing to 293 villages and hamlets. We need access, a level spot and space for guests to queue at the hatch. Parts of West Sussex are within a few miles of the South Downs National Park and the High Weald National Landscape, where some venues have extra rules about vehicles and catering. Around 121 places in West Sussex are close to the coast, so we often plan around the wind at coastal events, and seafront spots need permission and firm ground for the truck or trailer.

Crawley: Colleagues or friends without a car may like to know that Crawley has its own station, Crawley station. With the A23 and A264 nearby, getting our food truck or trailer to Crawley is straightforward. A hired food truck at a summer event in Crawley can serve in daylight until about 9:20pm at midsummer, and by late September sunset is about 7:05pm. In December it’s dark by about 3:55pm, so the queue by the hatch needs lighting.

For planners, venues and organisers

Booking for a company? Tell us what your finance team needs, and we will explain how it works. We can work with your facilities team on access and timings.

If your event is in a public space, such as a park, check what permission you need first. We can send what the landowner or council needs from us.

How it compares

A hog roast suits meat eaters well, but a Mexican menu covers vegan, gluten-free and dairy-free guests more easily.

What your quote should include

  • What happens if it rains
  • Staff numbers and hours
  • When final numbers are due
  • The caterer’s food hygiene rating

DIY taco night versus a caterer

If you do it yourself, work out quantities first: see how many tacos per person. Keep warmed tortillas covered, and label dishes for guests with allergies.

Not sure whether to do it yourself or book a caterer? Consider your numbers, your guests’ diets and your own time. Contact us for a quote to compare.

What’s on the menu

Tacos from the hatch

Tacos are quick to serve and easy to eat standing up.

Burritos

Burritos suit hungry guests and travel well from the hatch.

Questions from West Sussex

Do you cater for vegetarian guests?

Of course. We can include vegetarian and vegan fillings like black beans or spiced mushrooms, served alongside the meat options.

How many guests can you serve?

It depends on the menu and how long service runs, but our truck and trailer service generally suits around 50 to 400 guests. For anything outside that, ask us.

Do you do margaritas?

Yes, we do. Our drinks bar can be booked on its own or with food, with alcohol-free options such as aguas frescas. We will check the licensing for alcohol with you.

Do you cater for dietary needs?

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.

Where do you cater?

We cover London and the South East, West Sussex included. Find your area.

Is private hire the same as trading at a festival?

At a private hire, we serve your guests and nobody else, on a menu and timings agreed with you. Festival and market trading is open to the public.

Do you do a taco bar?

Yes, a taco bar is one of our options. Tell us about your space and numbers and we’ll suggest the best set-up.
