How it compares
A marquee kitchen with plated service needs more space, more staff and more time. Our food truck or trailer brings the kitchen and serves from one hatch, needing level ground, access and the venue’s permission. Your choice of food and drinks affects the price, so tell us what you have in mind. Tell us your budget and we’ll suggest a menu.

Your questions about food truck hire in Barcombe
Can you bring a truck or trailer to venues in the South Downs National Park?
Yes. Some venues there have rules about vehicles, ground and catering, so check with yours. Tell us about narrow lanes and soft ground.
What’s the nearest station to Barcombe for guests?
Guests can use Cooksbridge station, about 1.5 miles south-west of Barcombe.
What does food truck hire cost?
We quote for each event, so the price fits what you want. Tell us your date and numbers and we’ll reply with a quote.
What do you need at the venue?
A level, firm spot for the truck or trailer, with access wide and high enough to drive in, plus the venue’s permission. We confirm power and water with you for each booking.
How is private hire different from festival trading?
When you hire us, the booking is yours, and we do not sell to the public. Event organisers should see street food for festivals.
Can you do dairy-free food?
Yes, on request. Tell us how many guests need dairy-free food, and we’ll include them in the plan.
Do you bring plates and cutlery?
Ask us when you enquire. Let us know what you already have, and we’ll set out plates, napkins and cutlery in your quote.
Do you need power and water?
It depends on the event and the set-up, and we agree power and water with you before the day. Let us know whether there is a supply near where we’ll park.
What’s on the menu
Loaded nachos
Crisp chips loaded with toppings, salsa and guacamole.
Burrito bowls
Rice, beans, a filling and toppings in a bowl.

DIY taco night or a caterer?
A DIY taco night works well for a small group. For larger numbers, mixed diets or a wedding, a caterer takes the pressure off, with allergen information for every dish.
Plenty of people try a DIY taco night at home. Common snags are cold tortillas, uneven quantities and the host missing the party. If you’d rather be with your guests, we’ll do the serving.
