Barcombe Mills: your questions answered
Could you serve our guests after a service at The Parish Church of St Mary?
Yes, at a nearby garden, marquee or hall with access for the truck or trailer. We’d serve at the reception venue rather than at the church itself. Send us the reception address.
Is Barcombe Mills close to London?
Roughly 41 miles from the centre of London.
Do you bring plates and cutlery?
We confirm that with your quote. Let us know what the venue supplies and we will talk it through.
Do you give allergen information?
We plan allergen-aware menus, including for nut allergies, and give allergen information for every dish. We plan carefully and keep options separate, though we cannot promise a dish is allergen-free. Guests with severe allergies should talk to us before the event.
Do you sell to the public at private events?
At a private hire, we serve your guests and nobody else, with a menu and timings you agree with us. Festival and market trading is open to the public; see our street food catering page.
Do you come to Barcombe Mills?
Yes, we do. Barcombe Mills is one of the places we cover. Send us your date to check availability.
What space does the truck need?
Send us the address and a description of the spot, and we will check it works. Our guide to space and power has more.
When do you arrive?
We get there well before service to set up. Serving times are agreed with you in advance.
How our food truck hire works in Barcombe Mills
We cook inside our food truck or trailer, so your venue doesn’t need a kitchen. We need a level spot, safe access and the venue’s permission, with power and water confirmed per booking. For private parties in fields and grounds and wedding evening food, we’ll put together a menu of burrito bowls, burritos and quesadillas.
In a hamlet or village like Barcombe Mills, our truck or trailer can serve a private party or a team day in a field or garden. Guests order at the hatch, so plan a sheltered spot for the queue in case of rain. We turn up ready to serve, and tidy our own area afterwards.

What else we do in Barcombe Mills
Comparing your options
Hog roasts are popular with meat eaters, but tacos and bowls make vegan, gluten-free and dairy-free guests easier to feed. Access, parking and the distance to your venue can affect the price, so it helps to tell us about your venue. The full price is confirmed in your quote.
Why book with us
- Allergen information for every dish
- Quoted for your event
- Food and drinks from one caterer, if you want both
- A plan agreed before the day
Prices and what affects them
Two events with the same number of guests can cost different amounts, depending on:
- Guest numbers
- Your choice of food and drinks
- Parking and the route in
- Timings and hours
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.
Details that help
Good planning starts with a few facts. Try to include:
- Expected numbers
- Any dietary needs and allergies
- Gate widths, slopes and the ground
- The date and rough timings
Each quote is tailored to your event. Tell us your date and guest numbers, and we’ll confirm whether we’re available that day.
Should I do it myself?
Running your own drinks table is one option, but someone still has to mix, pour and keep an eye on it all evening. See our margarita bar guide.
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. Read our guide to taco bars.
Dietary needs and planning tips
Dietary needs are easy to plan for with a little notice. We suggest:
- Add a dietary question to the invitation
- Email us any allergies
- Ask the venue about catering vehicles before you book
- Think about cover if the weather turns
Service starts when your timings say, and we cook each order as it comes.
Loaded nachos to share while the first orders cook are a good way to begin.
