Food truck hire in Balls Cross, served fresh
Service is planned around your timings: a lunchtime window, an evening service or a longer slot through a party. Tell us when guests should eat and we will plan around it. On the menu are tacos from the hatch, loaded nachos and fresh salsas and guacamole, which works well for client hospitality and wedding receptions.
Somewhere as small as Balls Cross, food truck hire can mean a garden, a field or a barn. Lanes, gates and long drives are fine if we know about them. Firm ground matters, especially after rain. You will know what’s included before booking: menu, timings and any add-ons.

Space, access and the venue
Everything is served from our food truck or trailer, so the spot needs a little planning. Here’s what we look for:
- Firm, level ground or hardstanding where the truck or trailer can park
- Gate widths, overhead branches and soft ground checked in advance
- Somewhere for guests to sit or stand and eat
If you are unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think before booking.

Balls Cross questions
We are having a ceremony at Holy Trinity Church: can you cater afterwards?
Yes, at a garden, field or venue nearby where the truck or trailer can park. Service would be at the reception venue, not the church. Tell us where the reception will be.
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 provide allergen information for each dish?
Yes. Tell us about allergies when you book. Under UK rules, caterers must give information on 14 allergens, and we give it for every dish (Food Standards Agency guidance). For severe allergies, please talk to us first.
Do you cover Balls Cross?
Yes. We cater across London and the South East, and Balls Cross is within our area and the rest of West Sussex. To check your date, drop us a line using the enquiry form.
How much does food truck hire cost in Balls Cross?
It depends on guest numbers, the menu, the length of service and the location. Send us the details for a quote.
Are plates and napkins included?
Please ask us. Tell us what your venue provides, and we’ll set out plates, napkins and cutlery in your quote.
What about vegan and gluten-free guests?
There are gluten-free, dairy-free, vegetarian and vegan options, and corn tortillas suit gluten-free guests. Every dish has allergen information.
Can guests build their own tacos?
Yes. A build-your-own taco bar can be served from the truck or a serving station, with fillings, salsas, guacamole and toppings. Read our taco bar guide.

DIY taco night or a caterer?
Some hosts like to do it themselves. Common snags are cold tortillas, uneven quantities and the host missing the party. If you’d rather enjoy the party, let us serve.
A DIY taco night is possible for a crowd, but it’s more work than it looks. Fillings need slow cooking, tortillas need warming as you go, and salsas need making. Read our guide to taco bars.
How the day works
We need a level, firm spot we can drive the truck or trailer onto, with power and water arrangements agreed beforehand. A picture of the space helps. Planning a private evening event in Balls Cross?
