Food truck hire in Burstow
Diets, allergies and planning
Good planning keeps every guest safe and happy. Here’s how:
- Add a dietary question to the invitation
- Look into parking permissions if the truck cannot go off-road
- Share your running order
- Check gate widths and any height limits
We drive in at the agreed time and park in the planned spot. It helps if someone can meet us on arrival.

Food truck hire in Burstow, served fresh
You could pick fillings such as chicken tinga, carnitas or beef birria, alongside a vegan option such as spiced mushroom. There are options for vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and dairy-free guests, and corn tortillas suit gluten-free diets. It works well for private outdoor parties and big birthdays, serving tacos from the hatch, quesadillas and burritos.
Somewhere as small as Burstow, food truck hire can mean a garden, a field or a barn. Lanes, gates and long drives are fine if we know about them. Soft ground after rain is worth mentioning too. We turn up ready to serve, and tidy our own area afterwards.
Should I do it myself?
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 enjoy the party, let us serve.
Doing it yourself? Start with the quantities: see how many tacos per person. Keep warmed tortillas covered, and label dishes for guests with allergies.

Questions from Burstow
Which station is closest to Burstow?
Gatwick Airport station, about 1.3 miles west of the centre.
We’re having a ceremony at Church of St Bartholomew: can you cater afterwards?
Yes, at a garden, field or venue nearby where the truck or trailer can park. We’d serve at the reception venue rather than at the church itself. Tell us where the reception will be.
Can you cater for special diets?
Diets are planned with you in advance, though we can’t guarantee there are no traces of any allergen. Anyone with a severe allergy should contact us before the event.
Do you offer a bar with the truck?
The drinks bar comes with bar staff and alcohol-free choices. Alcohol needs the right licence, which we’ll check with you.
Do you do parties at home?
Yes, if the truck or trailer can get in and park on level, firm ground. Tell us about the drive, gates and any slopes, and we’ll tell you honestly whether it works.
Can we hire the truck for our wedding?
Wedding food from a truck feels relaxed and sociable, especially in the evening. We’ll check access and timings with your venue.
Is the truck suitable for a large group?
Truck and trailer service usually suits around 50 to 400 guests. Smaller gatherings are looked at case by case.
What does it cost to hire the truck?
We quote for every hire, based on guest numbers, the menu, the location and service times. For a price, send us your details through our quote form.

- Space in front of the hatch for guests to queue
- Somewhere for guests to sit or stand and eat
- A flat parking spot on firm ground or hardstanding
Not sure about your space? Send us a picture and we’ll tell you honestly.

The process
The truck or trailer tends to draw a crowd, so we will help you choose a spot with room for a queue. Rain doesn’t normally stop us serving, but guests will need somewhere covered. December events in Burstow lose the light at about 3:55pm, so ask the venue about outdoor lighting where we will park. In late June, it stays light until about 9:20pm.
- Share your plans for the event.
- We suggest fillings and dishes for every diet.
- We check power, water and timings with the venue.
- The truck serves at the agreed times.
- When everyone is fed, we clear our area.
Preparing for the day
- Confirm the venue allows outside caterers
- Let us know who to talk to on the day
- Plan a covered area for guests if rain is likely
