Planning an event in Highbrook?
Before you choose a spot
If a space is not suitable, we’ll tell you, and suggest an alternative. What matters most:
- A parking suspension, where a street spot is needed
- The venue’s or landowner’s permission for a food truck
- Space in front of the hatch for guests to queue
If you’re unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think.
Food truck hire for your event in Highbrook
Our drinks bar can be hired with the truck with margaritas, Mexican beer and aguas frescas. A build-your-own taco bar can sit beside the truck too. It suits wedding receptions and winter staff parties, with burrito bowls, tacos from the hatch and quesadillas.
In a rural place like Highbrook, 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. Your quote sets out what’s included: the menu, the service time and any extras you choose.

Can I do a taco night myself?
You can set up your own drinks table, but someone has to serve all evening. See our margarita bar guide.
Doing it yourself saves money, but the host ends up in the kitchen. Booking a caterer means you can relax with everyone else.
The process
Serving is quick: guests are served at the hatch or a serving station, so a crowd is looked after quickly. When service ends, we pack down. Evening events in Highbrook stay light until about 9:20pm at midsummer. Once it’s dark, some lighting near the hatch makes ordering easier.
- Ask us whether your date is available.
- We agree a hatch menu and send a quote.
- The spot and the way in are agreed in advance.
- We drive in, open the hatch and serve your guests.
- We pack down and drive away when service ends.
Getting ready for the day
- Confirm numbers and diets before the day
- Tell us what power and water the site has

Your questions about food truck hire in Highbrook
Will you travel to a small place like Highbrook?
Yes, small places are no problem, given access. Tell us about lanes, gates, ground and parking.
Do you cater in the High Weald National Landscape?
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 you do dairy-free food?
We can. We offer dairy-free options, and we will tell you which dishes contain milk.
Do you do parties at home?
Yes, as long as there’s access and a level, firm spot. Send us a picture of the access and the space.
How soon do we need to book?
As soon as you have a date. Popular dates go first, so it pays to ask early.
Can you cater for children?
Of course. We can keep dishes mild, and simple options such as quesadillas or nachos can be part of the menu. Tell us how many children are coming.
What if the weather’s bad?
We can keep serving from the truck or trailer in the rain, but your guests will want somewhere covered, such as a marquee, gazebo or nearby building.
What space does the truck need?
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.
Dietary needs and planning tips
We take diets and allergies seriously. Here’s how you can help:
- Walk the access route and note narrow gaps
- Tell us how many children are coming
- Confirm allergies with us in writing
- Flag any coeliac guests
We keep allergen information for every dish at the hatch.
Nachos for sharing at the start are a good way to begin.
Prices and what affects them
The same guest numbers can mean different prices, depending on:
- Parking and the route in
- Adding food to drinks, or drinks to food
- The number of people
- Plates, napkins and cutlery
If you have a budget in mind, tell us, and we will suggest a menu to match. Even a simple menu can feel generous.

- What you’d like on the menu
