Food truck hire for your event in Balcombe Lane
Food truck hire suits weddings, milestone birthdays and staff events, and any gathering where guests want hot food without a sit-down meal. For wedding receptions and client events and product launches, we can serve vegan tacos, tacos from the hatch and burritos and more.
For a rural spot like Balcombe Lane, food truck hire needs a little planning: gate widths, soft ground and the route from the road all matter. Power and water may be limited, so we confirm the arrangements before the day. We turn up ready to serve, and tidy our own area afterwards.

Before you choose a spot
We serve from a truck or trailer, so where we park matters. Here’s what we look for:
- Level, solid ground for the vehicle
- A way in wide and high enough for the vehicle
- Power and water, confirmed with each booking
If you’re unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think before you book.

How the day works
Here’s how the day typically runs: we park up and get ready, we open the hatch when you are ready, and your guests are served fresh until service ends. A Christmas party in Balcombe Lane with a hired food truck will be in the dark from about 3:55pm, so choose a well-lit spot for the truck or trailer. In late June, it stays light until about 9:20pm.

- We suggest fillings and dishes for every diet.
- Power, water and timings are agreed with you or the venue.
- The truck serves at the agreed times.
- Once service ends, we tidy up and go.
