In a small place like Ashington, a hired food truck might park in a garden, paddock or field. Lanes, gates and long drives are fine if we know about them.

Ashington: your questions answered
How far is Ashington from central London?
About 41 miles from central London, and well within our area.
Can you bring a truck or trailer to venues 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.
How much is food truck hire?
We quote for every hire, based on guest numbers, the menu, the location and service times. For a price, drop us a line using the enquiry form.
Who clears up?
We clear our own area when service is finished. Ask us if you’d like help with anything else.
Do you cook on site?
We slow-cook fillings ahead, then finish them and keep them hot at your event. The tortillas are warmed on site, and the salsas and guacamole are made fresh.
Is private hire the same as trading at a festival?
A private hire is booked and quoted for you, so we don’t serve passers-by. Event organisers should see street food for festivals.
Do you cover Ashington?
Yes. We cover London and the South East, including Ashington and the rest of West Sussex. To check your date, fill in our quote form.
Do you provide drinks?
Yes, we do. Our drinks bar can be booked on its own or with food, with alcohol-free options such as aguas frescas. For alcohol, we’ll go through the licensing with you and your venue.
Can I do a taco night myself?
Running your own drinks table is one option, but someone has to serve all evening. Our margarita bar guide has tips.
A DIY taco night is possible for a crowd, but it is more work than it looks. There are fillings to slow-cook, tortillas to keep warm and salsas to make. Our taco bar guide explains how.
Dietary needs and planning tips
Good planning keeps every guest safe and happy. Here’s how:
- Check early that your venue allows food trucks
- Tell us how many children are coming
- Measure gates and look for low branches on the way in
- Ask guests with severe allergies to speak to us beforehand
We keep allergen information for every dish at the hatch.
Ask us about napkins, plates and cutlery and we will confirm what’s possible.
Step by step
It is a relaxed, well-organised set-up. Arrival and serving times are agreed beforehand, get the serving area ready, and get on with serving. December events in Ashington lose the light at about 3:55pm, so choose a well-lit spot for the truck or trailer. At midsummer, sunset is around 9:20pm.
- 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.
- On the day, guests order at the hatch and we cook to order.
- After service, we close up and leave the spot clear.
Before we arrive
- Check the venue is happy to have a truck or trailer on site
- Measure any gates or arches on the way in
- Choose a level, firm spot for the truck or trailer
How to get a price
Most quotes start with a few simple details: the date, where the event is, how many guests and any dietary needs. To send them, fill in our quote form.

Prices and what affects them
Two events with the same number of guests can cost different amounts, because of:
- Guest numbers
- Adding food to drinks, or drinks to food
- Your choice of food and drinks
- Staff for serving and the bar
The cost per head can fall as numbers rise, since the set-up is much the same either way. Tell us your numbers for an accurate price.
What we need to know
Good planning starts with a few facts. Please include:
- Vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free, dairy-free and allergy numbers
- Your menu ideas
- Your date and when you want service to start
- Approximate guest numbers, including children
We quote for each event separately, based on what you need. To ask for one, use our quote form.

Before you choose a spot
No two venues are the same, so we’ll ask about yours before we confirm. In general, we need:

- A way in wide and high enough for the vehicle
If you are unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think before you book.
What else we do in Ashington
Is food truck hire right for your event?
Plated catering needs a kitchen tent, waiting staff and set courses. A food truck arrives as a kitchen and serves from the hatch. The price depends on guest numbers, the menu and how long you’d like us to serve, along with extras and where your event is. We quote for each event individually.
