Food truck hire in Coolham
What happens on the day
The truck or trailer needs a level, firm spot with access to drive in, and we agree power and water arrangements before the day. A photo of the space helps. At midsummer, it stays light in Coolham until about 9:20pm, while late September brings sunset forward to around 7:05pm. For winter events, dark by about 3:55pm, plan lighting where guests queue at the hatch.
- Tell us the date, the location, rough numbers and any diets.
- You get a hatch menu and a quote for the hire.
- Where the truck or trailer will stand, the route in, and power and water are all agreed in advance.
- We arrive, open the hatch and cook to order for your guests.
- After service, we close the hatch, pack down and drive away.
Preparing for the day
- Tell us what power and water the site has
- Have a marquee or gazebo ready in case of rain
- Have level hardstanding or firm ground ready
Getting a price
Every quote is put together for your event. Give us your date and numbers, and we will confirm whether we are available that day.

About our food truck hire in Coolham
Our drinks bar can be hired with the truck for margaritas, Mexican beer and aguas frescas. We can add a taco-bar station next to the truck. Popular choices include burrito bowls, loaded nachos and fresh salsas and guacamole, and it suits staff summer parties and birthday parties.
For a rural spot like Coolham, food truck hire needs a little planning: gate widths, soft ground and the route from the road all matter. Power and water may be limited, so we confirm the arrangements before the day. We cater for vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and dairy-free guests, and we give allergen information for every dish.

Diets, allergies and planning
Dietary needs are easy to plan for with a little notice. Our advice:
- Agree service times with us
- Check parking and loading rules for street locations
- Email us any allergies
- Check early that your venue allows food trucks
Wet weather doesn’t close the hatch, but guests will want a covered area to eat.
Add a build-your-own taco bar beside the truck for a wedding breakfast or lunch.

Coolham questions
What’s the nearest station to Coolham for guests?
Guests can use Billingshurst station, about 2.4 miles north-west of Coolham.
Do you hire out your food truck for parties in places like Coolham?
Yes, depending on the date. For a private or work event in a village or hamlet, the main thing is access: tell us about the lane, the gate and the ground.
Do you bring plates and cutlery?
That’s confirmed with each quote. Tell us whether your venue has crockery or you’d prefer disposables and we’ll talk it through.
How many guests can you serve?
That depends on the menu and the service time, but our truck and trailer service generally suits around 50 to 400 guests. Tell us your numbers and we will advise.
Can you cater for special diets?
We plan vegan, vegetarian, dairy-free and gluten-free options, with corn tortillas for gluten-free guests. Allergen information is available for every dish.
Is the truck suitable for a large group?
That depends on your timings and the event. As a guide, it is around 50 to 400 guests.
How much space do you need?
Access and level ground matter most: a firm spot for the truck or trailer, room for a queue and, for a taco bar, space for a serving table. Send us a photo and tell us about gates, slopes and soft ground.
Do you cater for coeliacs?
Yes, gluten-free options are available, made with corn tortillas. Tell us about any coeliac guests before the event so we can explain how we prepare their food.
Is food truck hire right for your event?
Cooking yourself saves on catering but costs you the day. With a hired truck, we do the cooking. What’s on the menu makes a difference to the total, so tell us what you have in mind. We will suggest options to suit your budget.

DIY taco night or a caterer?
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.
You can set up your own drinks table, but someone still has to mix, pour and keep an eye on it all evening. Our margarita bar guide has tips.
Organising for someone else?
Venues often have their own rules about outside caterers: where vehicles can park, access times and the paperwork they need. Tell us what your venue needs and we will work to it.
Booking for a company? Tell us what your finance team needs, and we’ll talk you through the process. We can work with your facilities team on access and timings.
