How our food truck hire works in Elsted
We cook inside our food truck or trailer, so there’s no need for kitchen space at the venue. We need a level spot, safe access and the venue’s permission, with power and water confirmed per booking. At weddings and end-of-year celebrations, we can serve vegan tacos, loaded nachos and fresh salsas and guacamole.
In a hamlet or village like Elsted, our truck or trailer can serve a private party or a team day in a field or garden. Guests queue at the hatch, so have some cover ready in case of rain. Access, space and power are agreed with you beforehand, so there are no surprises on arrival.

Should I do it myself?
Plenty of people try a DIY taco night at home. The usual problems are cold tortillas, running out of a popular filling and a host stuck at the stove. If you’d rather enjoy the party, let us serve.
Not sure whether to do it yourself or book a caterer? Think about numbers, diets and how much you want to enjoy the day. Contact us for a quote to compare.

Step by step
On the day, we position the truck or trailer and get the serving area ready. Service starts at the time we’ve agreed, so everything runs to your schedule. By late September, it is dark in Elsted at around 7:05pm, so a later service will need some lighting. In late May, daylight lasts until about 8:55pm.
- Check our availability for your date.
- You get a menu for the hatch and a quote.
- The spot and the way in are agreed in advance.
- On the day, guests order at the hatch and we cook to order.
- We pack down and drive away when service ends.
How to prepare
- Give us your final numbers and diets
- Have a marquee or gazebo ready in case of rain
- Get the venue’s permission for us to park and serve

Your questions about food truck hire in Elsted
Do you cater in the South Downs National Park?
We do, where the venue allows a catering vehicle. Lanes can be narrow and ground soft, so tell us how we’d get in.
Can we hire your food truck for a private party in Elsted?
Yes, subject to the date and access for the truck or trailer. Let us know about access and where we’d park.
Do you come to Elsted?
Yes, we do. Elsted is one of the places we cover. Send us your date to check availability.
How much is a food truck for an event?
It depends on guest numbers, the menu, the length of service and the location. Contact us for a quote.
What do you serve?
Every menu is agreed with you. Fillings might include chicken tinga, pork carnitas, al pastor-style pork and vegan options like black beans. Our sample menu has more ideas.
Where do you cater?
We cater across London and the South East, West Sussex included. Find your area.
Do you need electricity?
That depends on the set-up, so we confirm power and water arrangements with each booking. Tell us what’s available at your venue.
Can we hire the truck for our wedding?
We can serve from the truck for the wedding meal, the evening or both. Timings are agreed with you and your venue. Read more in having a food truck at a wedding.
Is food truck hire right for your event?
A private hire is not the same as a festival stall. At a festival we trade to the public; a private hire means your guests, your menu and your timings. A food truck can be a practical alternative to plated catering, as there’s no kitchen to hire. Contact us for a quote to compare.
