Copthorne questions
Do you come to events in the High Weald National Landscape?
Yes. Some venues there have rules about vehicles, ground and catering, so check with yours. We will follow the site rules.
Can you cater a reception after a service at St John's Church?
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.
How soon do we need to book?
As early as you can, especially for summer weekends. Even if it’s short notice, it’s worth asking.
Do you cater for coeliacs?
We can, using corn tortillas. Corn is naturally gluten-free, though some sauces and toppings can contain gluten, so we plan gluten-free dishes carefully and give allergen information.
Can you cater for children?
Yes. Mild dishes, quesadillas and nachos can be part of the menu. Tell us how many children are coming.
Do you need power and water?
It depends on the event and the set-up, and we agree power and water with you before the day. Tell us what’s available at your venue.
Can you cater for special diets?
Diets are planned with you in advance, but we can’t promise an allergen-free kitchen. Anyone with a severe allergy should contact us before the event.
When do you arrive?
That depends on your event and menu. We agree arrival, service and pack-down times with you to suit your day.
How the day works
We work to your timings. If speeches run late or the photos take longer, tell us and we’ll adjust the start of service where we can. Evening events in Copthorne stay light until about 9:20pm at midsummer. After that, festoon lights or lamps near the truck help guests order.
- Send us your date, the address, a headcount and dietary needs.
- You get a hatch menu and a quote for the hire.
- Before the day, we agree the spot, the way in, power and water.
- Your guests order at the hatch and we serve hot food at the agreed times.
- Once guests are fed, we clear our area and head off.
Getting ready for the day
- Choose a level, firm spot for the truck or trailer
- Check the venue is happy to have a truck or trailer on site
- Arrange somewhere covered for guests to eat

For planners, venues and organisers
If your event is in a public space, such as a park, check what permission you need first. We will provide the information the landowner or council asks for from us.
If you are organising for someone else, such as a wedding planner, an office manager or a festival organiser, we are happy to deal with you and the venue directly. It keeps things simple.
Popular choices
Loaded nachos
A tray of nachos works as a starter or a late snack; dairy-free versions can be planned.
Tacos from the hatch
Warm tortillas filled to order and finished with salsa, with fillings such as carnitas, chicken tinga or spiced mushroom.
Dietary needs and planning tips
Nearly every event has some special diets. To cater well for them:
- Check early that your venue allows food trucks
- Tell us about coeliac guests
- Ask guests about dietary needs when they reply
- Check gate widths and any height limits
Wet weather does not close the hatch, but guests will want a covered area to eat.
Ask us about evening food later on, quoted with the main booking.
DIY taco night versus a caterer
If you do it yourself, work out quantities first: our guide to how many tacos per person helps. Keep tortillas warm in a covered basket, and label dishes for guests with allergies.
Not sure whether to do it yourself or book a caterer? Consider your numbers, your guests’ diets and your own time. Contact us for a quote to compare.
What food truck hire costs
The same guest numbers can mean different prices, because of:
- What the venue already provides
- Guest numbers
- What’s on the menu
- How many staff you need
Cost depends on guest numbers, the menu and the length of service, plus any add-ons and the location. Every event gets its own quote.

When you contact us, it helps to tell us:
