Blackboys: parking, access and venues
Blackboys is about 3 miles east of Uckfield, in East Sussex. Wherever your event is in the TN22 area, we’ll come to your venue or site, as long as there’s access. Blackboys is one of 289 towns and villages in East Sussex where we can bring food truck hire. Our truck and trailer cover the area from Blackboys to Royal Tunbridge Wells (13 miles away).
The B2102 serve Blackboys, so the drive to your event is a simple one for us. Parks such as Passingworth Park typically need permission for vehicles and catering, so a garden or hired venue is often simpler. With the High Weald National Landscape within about 6 miles, a rural setting for your private or work event is within reach. Firm ground and a clear way in matter most for the truck or trailer.
Here we cover the TN22 postcode area. Whether your event is on High Street, Mount Pleasant and Gun Road or a nearby road, we’ll plan where to park and serve. You will find Blackboys on the B2102, which makes it straightforward to bring the truck or trailer. Neighbouring places where we cater events include Etchingwood (1 mile north-west), Framfield (1 mile west), Potter's Green (2 miles north-west), Buxted (2 miles north-west) and Hadlow Down (2 miles north).

Diets, allergies and planning
Every guest is catered for, vegan, vegetarian, dairy-free and gluten-free included. To make it work smoothly:
- Check parking and loading rules for street locations

- Flag any coeliac guests
- Confirm allergies with us in writing
Guests come to the hatch, order and wait a short moment for hot food.
Ask about a second service later in the evening.
Questions from Blackboys
Will you travel to a small place like Blackboys?
Yes. Villages and hamlets are part of our area, and the main thing is access: tell us about the lane, the gate and the ground.
How far is Blackboys from London?
It’s about 39 miles from central London, and inside the area we cover.
Can you cater for vegetarians and vegans?
Yes, they’re part of the planning from the start. Tell us your numbers when you ask for a quote.
What about vegan and gluten-free guests?
We plan for diets before the day, but we can’t promise an allergen-free kitchen. Anyone with a severe allergy should contact us before the event.
Do you do margaritas?
Yes, we do. The drinks bar can be added to food or booked on its own. For alcohol, we will go through the licensing with you and your venue.
Is the truck suitable for a large group?
Truck and trailer service normally suits around 50 to 400 guests. Smaller gatherings are looked at case by case.
How big an event can you cater?
Our truck and trailer service normally suits events of around 50 to 400 guests. Smaller parties are quoted case by case, and festivals can be larger. Tell us your numbers.
What does hiring your food truck involve?
We bring our food truck or trailer to your venue, park in the agreed spot and serve your guests from the hatch. Only your guests are served.
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. Our margarita bar guide has tips.
DIY catering keeps costs down, but the host spends the party serving. Booking a caterer means you can relax with everyone else.
Comparing your options
Most guests have seen a burger van. A Mexican food truck offers something less expected while staying easy to eat. The cost per head can fall as numbers rise, because the set-up is similar for different sizes of event. Give us your numbers and we’ll quote.
