How our food truck hire works in Filching
We bring the truck or trailer to private and work events in and around Filching: gardens, venue grounds, car parks and business parks. At back-garden parties and wedding receptions, we can serve burritos, quesadillas and fresh salsas and guacamole for your guests.
Somewhere as small as Filching, food truck hire can mean a garden, a field or a barn. Lanes, gates and long drives are fine if we know about them. Firm ground matters, especially after rain. Access, space and power are agreed with you beforehand, so set-up goes smoothly.

What else we do in Filching
Planning for every diet
Most events have a mix of diets. To cater well for them:
- Ask the venue about catering vehicles before booking
- Ask guests with severe allergies to speak to us beforehand
- Flag any coeliac guests
- Measure gates and look for low branches on the way in
We drive in at the agreed time and park in the planned spot. Someone on site to meet us makes it smoother.
Nachos for sharing at the start are a good way to begin.
Filching: your questions answered
We are having a ceremony at The Parish Church of Saint Peter: can you cater afterwards?
Yes, at a nearby garden, marquee or hall with access for the truck or trailer. Service would be at the reception venue, not the church. Send us the reception address.
Which station should guests use for Filching?
The closest is Polegate station, roughly 1.5 miles away.
Can you serve in the rain?
The truck or trailer can serve in the rain, but your guests will want somewhere covered, like a marquee or gazebo.
Is the food suitable for children?
Yes, children are easy to plan for. Tell us how many and roughly how old, and we’ll plan the menu with them in mind.
What do you need at the venue?
Level, firm ground or hardstanding, access wide and high enough to drive in, and the venue’s permission. We confirm power and water when you book.
Do you cater for coeliacs?
Yes, gluten-free options are available, using corn tortillas. Let us know about coeliac guests in advance so we can talk through how their food is prepared.
Is private hire the same as trading at a festival?
Private hire means we serve only your guests, on a menu and timings agreed with you. At festivals and markets we trade to the public; see our street food catering page.
Which areas do you serve?
London and South East England: Greater London, Kent, Surrey, East and West Sussex, Hampshire, the Isle of Wight, Berkshire, Buckinghamshire, Milton Keynes and Oxfordshire, including Filching.
Can I do a taco night myself?
DIY catering keeps costs down, but the host spends the party serving. Booking a caterer means you can relax with everyone else.
A DIY taco night works well for a small group. For big numbers or lots of diets, a caterer makes life easier, and handles allergen information for you.
How the day works
On the day, we position the truck or trailer and get the serving area ready. Service starts at the time we have agreed, planned around your event. A Christmas party in Filching with a hired food truck will be in the dark from about 3:55pm, so ask the venue about outdoor lighting where we will park. In late June, it stays light until about 9:15pm.
- Check our availability for your date.
- We agree a hatch menu and send a quote.
- We confirm the parking spot and the route in.
- We drive in, open the hatch and serve your guests.
- We pack down and drive away when service ends.
Getting ready for the day
- Check gates and access routes are wide and high enough
- Give us your final numbers and diets
- Confirm the venue allows outside caterers
