Food truck hire near Brighton and Hove
How our food truck hire works in Brighton and Hove
We bring the truck or trailer to private and work events in and around Brighton and Hove, from gardens to venue grounds and business parks. At wedding evening food and end-of-year parties, we can serve burrito bowls, burritos and fresh salsas and guacamole for your guests.
Drives and gardens in Brighton and Hove come in all sizes, and what matters is access and level ground. A nearby car park can also work, with permission. Guests are served from our truck or trailer, or from a serving table nearby, and we plan service so the queue keeps moving.

Catering for every guest
Mixed diets are straightforward to plan for, because guests can choose what suits them. Here are a few tips for planning:
- Send allergy details in writing
- Ask guests with severe allergies to speak to us beforehand
- Agree service times with us
- Ask guests about dietary needs when they reply
At the end of service, we close the hatch and pack down, leaving our spot tidy.
Quesadillas make an easy option for children.
Common questions in Brighton and Hove
We’re having a ceremony at Holy Cross 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. Send us the reception address.
What’s the nearest station to Brighton and Hove for guests?
Aldrington station, in Brighton and Hove itself.
Can you cater for special diets?
We plan gluten-free, dairy-free, vegetarian and vegan options, and corn tortillas suit gluten-free guests. Every dish has allergen information.
How is private hire different from festival trading?
When you hire us, the booking is yours, so we do not serve passers-by. Organisers wanting us to trade at their event can see our festival page.
Do you do food truck hire for weddings?
Wedding food from a truck feels relaxed and sociable. We will check access and timings with your venue.
Is there a minimum number of guests?
It depends on the menu and how long service runs, but our truck and trailer service typically suits around 50 to 400 guests. For anything outside that, ask us.
Do you provide drinks?
Yes, we offer a Mexican drinks bar, serving margaritas, Mexican beer, aguas frescas such as hibiscus and horchata, and soft drinks. Your venue or event may need the right licence for alcohol, so we’ll check the licensing with you.
Can you cater for vegetarians and vegans?
Yes, they’re part of the planning from the start. Let us know how many vegetarian and vegan guests to expect.
How it works
A typical event goes like this: we arrive and set up, we open the hatch when you are ready, and your guests are served fresh for the agreed time. A Christmas party in Brighton and Hove with a hired food truck will be in the dark from about 3:55pm, so ask the venue about outdoor lighting where we will park. In late June, it stays light until about 9:20pm.
- Check our availability for your date.
- You get a menu for the hatch and a quote.
- We confirm the parking spot and the route in.
- On the day, guests order at the hatch and we cook to order.
- After service, we close up and leave the spot clear.
Getting ready for the day
- Tell us when you want service to start
- Have a marquee or gazebo ready in case of rain
- Give us a contact for the day

Brighton and Hove: parking, access and venues
Brighton and Hove is in England. For food truck hire in Brighton and Hove, we can park up at venues, fields, drives and courtyards in and around Brighton and Hove. We serve in all 30 towns and villages in Brighton and Hove, wherever the truck or trailer can get in.
Roughly 46 miles separate Brighton and Hove from central London, close enough for a London team’s away day. If guests are travelling by rail, Aldrington station is in Brighton and Hove itself. Hiring our food truck for an event near the South Downs National Park, within about 7 miles of Brighton and Hove? Country lanes can be narrow and verges soft, so tell us about the route in. With the coast within about 3 miles of Brighton and Hove, wind is worth planning for. A sheltered, firm spot for the truck or trailer and the queue works best.
We serve at events all over BN3, BN41 and BN1. Whether your event is on New Church Road, Princes Square and Station Road or a nearby road, we can bring food truck hire there, given access.

Is food truck hire right for your event?
Booking several street food trucks means juggling several suppliers. One truck with tacos, burritos and nachos is one booking to manage. Your choice of food and drinks affects the price, so tell us what you have in mind. We’ll suggest options to suit your budget.

DIY taco night versus a caterer
A DIY taco night works well for a small group. For big numbers or lots of diets, a caterer makes life easier, with allergen information for every dish.
DIY catering keeps costs down, but the host spends the party serving. With a caterer, you get the food and drinks without the work.
Planning the serving area
We’ll be honest if a space won’t work, and help find another spot. What matters most:
- Agreement from the venue to bring in a catering vehicle
- Parking arrangements if we’re not on private land
- Somewhere for guests to sit or stand and eat
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and the access, and we’ll advise before you book.
