Food truck hire for your event in Etchingham
Food truck hire means our truck or trailer is booked for your guests only. It is a private booking, not public trading, so the menu and timings are set around your event. Popular choices include burrito bowls, tacos from the hatch and vegan tacos, which works well for family reunions and launch events.
In a rural place like Etchingham, access is the main thing to plan for a hired truck: gate widths, soft ground and the route from the road all matter. We confirm power and water arrangements with you. Every guest is catered for, gluten-free, dairy-free, vegetarian and vegan included, with allergen information for everything we serve.

What food truck hire costs
Each event is quoted on its own, and the price depends on a few things:
- Adding food to drinks, or drinks to food
- Whether you need disposables
- Serving staff
- Guest numbers
Access, parking and the distance to your venue can affect the price, so it helps to tell us about your venue. Your quote confirms the full price.
Getting an accurate quote
When you get in touch, it helps to tell us:
- Approximate guest numbers, including children
- A picture of the space, if it is a garden or field
- What you’d like on the menu
- Diets and allergies you know about
Every event is quoted individually, so the price fits what you actually want. To ask for one, tell us about it on our contact page.
Planning the serving area
Before the day, we will agree where we park and serve. A good spot ticks these boxes:
- A place for guests to eat close to the hatch
- A flat parking spot on firm ground or hardstanding
- Parking arrangements if we’re not on private land
If you are unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think before booking.

How it works
We need a level, firm spot we can drive the truck or trailer onto, with power and water arrangements agreed beforehand. Send us a photo of the space if you are unsure. Late-September events in Etchingham see sunset at about 7:00pm, so a later service will need some lighting. A late-May event keeps its light until roughly 8:50pm.
- Send us your date, the address, a headcount and dietary needs.
- We suggest a menu for the hatch and quote for it.
- 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.
- Once guests are fed, we clear our area and head off.
Preparing for the day
- Arrange somewhere covered for guests to eat
- Confirm numbers and diets before the day
- Name one person we can ask on the day

DIY taco night or a caterer?

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.
