Food truck hire for Hollingbury events
Can I do a taco night myself?
Doing it yourself saves money, but the host ends up in the kitchen. Booking a caterer means you can relax with everyone else.
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 be with your guests, we’ll do the serving.
Food truck hire in Hollingbury, from our food truck or trailer
The hatch menu is agreed with you: tacos, burritos, burrito bowls, loaded nachos or quesadillas, with fresh salsas and guacamole. At end-of-year celebrations and wedding receptions, we can serve burritos, quesadillas and burrito bowls.
In a smaller place like Hollingbury, hiring our food truck for a party at home is often the easiest option: no venue to book, and guests order straight from the hatch. Let us know about the route to the house. Every guest is catered for, gluten-free, dairy-free, vegetarian and vegan included, and we give allergen information for every dish.

Hollingbury: parking, access and venues
Hollingbury is about 2 miles north of Brighton, in Brighton and Hove. From the centre of Hollingbury to the outskirts, we offer the same service: a truck or trailer at your event, options for every diet and a clear price. We serve in 30 places across Brighton and Hove, wherever the truck or trailer can get in.
Hoping to hire a food truck for a gathering in Wild Park? A catering vehicle in a public park generally needs the landowner’s permission. Nearby historic houses include Preston Manor & Gardens (1.4 miles south-west) and Royal Pavilion (2.6 miles south). Listed venues often control where vehicles go, so raise food truck hire at your first visit. Hollingbury is within about 5 miles of the South Downs National Park, with country venues and gardens where a hired food truck could serve. Some venues in protected landscapes have rules on vehicles, so check with yours. With the coast within about 3 miles of Hollingbury, wind is worth planning for. A sheltered, firm spot for the truck or trailer and the queue works best.
For food truck hire in BN1, we plan around your venue and the route in. From Keymer Road, Warmdene Road and Carden Avenue or anywhere nearby, we can bring food truck hire there, given access. Neighbouring places where we cater events include Patcham (1 mile west), Withdean (1 mile south-west), Hollingdean (1 mile south), Preston (1 mile south-west) and Westdene (1 mile west).

Questions from Hollingbury
Can you cater a reception after a service at Fountain Centre?
Yes. The church itself isn’t where we’d set up, but a hall, field or garden close by with room for the truck or trailer can work well. Let us know the reception address and we’ll check the access.
Can you serve near the sea around Hollingbury?
We can, given firm ground and the landowner’s permission. Beaches and promenades generally need the council’s agreement, so check that first.
Do you cook on site?
We slow-cook fillings ahead, then finish them and keep them hot at your event. The tortillas are warmed on site, and the salsas and guacamole are made fresh.
Do you provide plates and napkins?
We confirm that with your quote. Let us know what the venue supplies.
Can you come to a private house?
Yes, if the truck or trailer can get in and park on level, firm ground. Send us a picture of the access and the space.
Where do you cater?
We cater across London and the South East, including Brighton and Hove. Find your area.
How much is food truck hire?
There is no fixed price list, as every booking is different. Tell us your plans and we will quote for your event. See the Mexican catering cost guide for background.
Do you have vegan options?
Yes, and we plan them in from the start. Tell us your numbers when you ask for a quote, and we will keep their options separate.
Working with your venue
Many venues have rules for outside caterers: vehicle access, arrival times and documents. Send us your venue’s requirements and we will follow them.
Booking for a company? Tell us what your finance team needs, and we’ll explain how it works. We are happy to liaise with facilities on access and timings.
Catering for every guest
Nearly every event has some special diets. To plan for them:
- Flag any coeliac guests
- Check early that your venue allows food trucks
- Send allergy details in writing
- Collect diets and allergies with your RSVPs
We arrive in the agreed window and park where we’ve arranged. Someone on site to meet us makes it smoother.
Ask about a second service later in the evening, quoted with the main booking.
What happens on the day
We work to your timings. If things run behind, tell us and we will adjust the start of service where we can. A hired food truck at a summer event in Hollingbury can serve in daylight until about 9:20pm at midsummer, while late September brings sunset forward to around 7:05pm. For winter events, dark by about 3:55pm, plan lighting where guests queue at the hatch.
- First come the basics: date, location, numbers and diets.
- We check availability and send a menu and a quote for hiring the truck or trailer.
- Before the day, we agree the spot, the way in, power and water.
- Your guests order at the hatch and we serve hot food at the agreed times.
- When service ends, we pack up and leave the spot clear.
Before we arrive
- Confirm the venue allows outside caterers
- Arrange somewhere covered for guests to eat
- Send us final numbers and dietary needs in good time
