Food truck hire for your event in Cross Gate
Food truck hire means our food truck or trailer is booked for your guests only. It is a private booking, not public trading, so we plan the menu and service times around you. On the menu are quesadillas, tacos from the hatch and loaded nachos, and it suits client hospitality and big birthdays.
In a rural place like Cross Gate, access is the main thing to plan for a hired truck: 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. Guests are served from our truck or trailer, or from a serving table nearby, and we plan service so the queue keeps moving.

Dietary needs and planning tips
Every guest is catered for, vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and dairy-free included. To get it right:
- Ask guests about dietary needs when they reply
- Think about cover if the weather turns
- Put anyone with a severe allergy in touch with us
- Ask the venue about catering vehicles before booking
We can serve through rain, though a marquee or gazebo helps guests stay dry.
Add a build-your-own taco bar beside the truck.
Can I do a taco night myself?
Some hosts like to do it themselves. Common snags are cold tortillas, uneven quantities and the host missing the party. If you’d rather enjoy the party, let us serve.

How it works
The truck or trailer tends to draw a crowd, so we plan a spot with space for people to queue. Rain does not generally stop us serving, but guests will need somewhere covered. A hired food truck at a summer event in Cross Gate can serve in daylight until about 9:20pm at midsummer, and by late September sunset is about 7:05pm. In December it’s dark by about 4:00pm, so the queue by the hatch needs lighting.
- Share your plans for the event.
- Together we plan dishes that cover your guests’ diets.
- We check power, water and timings with the venue.
- The truck serves at the agreed times.
- When everyone is fed, we clear our area.
Getting ready for the day
- Tell us what power and water the site has
- Plan a covered area for guests if rain is likely
- Tell us when you want service to start

Your questions about food truck hire in Cross Gate
Could you serve our guests after a service at The Parish Church of St Michael and All Angels?
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. Send us the reception address.
Will you travel to a small place like Cross Gate?
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.
Do you cover Cross Gate?
Yes, we do. We serve at events in Cross Gate and across West Sussex. Send us your date to check availability.
Can you serve in the rain?
We can keep serving from the truck or trailer in the rain, but guests need somewhere covered to eat and drink, such as a marquee, gazebo or nearby building.
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.
Do you need power and water?
Let us know what’s available on site, such as a supply from the venue near where we’ll park, and we’ll confirm the arrangements with your quote.
How many guests can the truck serve?
It depends on the event and how long service runs. Most bookings fall around 50 to 400 guests.
What we need at the venue
Every venue is different, so we’ll ask about yours before we confirm. In general, we need:
- A way in wide and high enough for the vehicle
- Parking arrangements if we are not on private land
- A place for guests to eat close to the hatch
Not sure about your space? Send us a photo and we will tell you honestly before booking.
Comparing your options
For food that becomes part of the event, hiring a Mexican food truck is worth considering. If you have a budget in mind, tell us, and we will suggest a menu to match. A simple menu can still feel generous.
