Food truck hire in Hollingdean
How our food truck hire works in Hollingdean
Guests walk up to the hatch, order and take their food away hot. It keeps things easy and relaxed. It suits wedding receptions and client hospitality, serving quesadillas, loaded nachos and tacos from the hatch.
In and around Hollingdean, our food truck or trailer can work at home, in a field or at a hall. Narrow roads and soft ground are fine if we know about them. Guests are served from our truck or trailer, or from a serving table nearby, and we plan the service around your numbers.

Organising for someone else?
For repeat events, such as annual staff parties or seasonal fairs, let us know your dates early, so we can check the date.
Many venues have rules for outside caterers: vehicle access, arrival times and documents. Send us your venue’s requirements and we will follow them.
Why choose food truck hire in Hollingdean?
A private hire is not the same as a festival stall. At a festival we trade to the public; when you hire us, we serve only your guests, on your timings. Access and travel can make a difference to the cost, so it helps to tell us about your venue. The full price is confirmed in your quote.

How we price food truck hire
Two events with the same number of guests can cost different amounts, because of:
- Whether you add a drinks bar or food
- How long we are needed on site
- Serving staff
- Your choice of food and drinks
The cost per head can fall as numbers rise, since the set-up is much the same either way. Give us your numbers and we will quote.
What to tell us
We can quote more accurately with a few details. Here’s what’s useful:
- The address or venue name
- The date and rough timings
- How we drive in and where we can park
- Diets and allergies you know about

Step by step
Service is quick and friendly: guests are served at the hatch or a serving station, so a crowd is looked after quickly. When service ends, we pack down. By late September, it is dark in Hollingdean at around 7:05pm, so evening service from the truck may run past dusk. A late-May event keeps its light until roughly 8:50pm.

Catering for every guest
A Mexican menu is easy to plan for mixed diets, because options can be kept separate. A few tips:
- Walk the access route and note narrow gaps
- Confirm allergies with us in writing
- Tell us how many children are coming
- Share your running order
Wet weather doesn’t close the hatch, though a marquee or gazebo helps guests stay dry.
Loaded nachos to share while the first orders cook.
Questions from Hollingdean
We are having a ceremony at St Richard's: can you cater afterwards?
Yes. The church itself is not 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 will check the access.
How far is Hollingdean from London?
About 45 miles from central London, and well within our area.
Can you serve in the rain?
The truck or trailer can serve in the rain, but guests need somewhere covered to eat and drink, like a marquee or gazebo.
How spicy is the food?
We can keep it mild, with hotter salsas on the side for anyone who wants more heat.
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.
Can you cater for children?
Yes, children are easy to plan for. Let us know numbers and ages, and we will plan the menu with them in mind.
Do you do parties at home?
Yes, as long as there’s access and a level, firm spot. Tell us about the drive, gates and any slopes.
Can we hire a bar too?
You can add our drinks bar, serving margaritas, Mexican beer, aguas frescas and soft drinks. We’ll go through the licensing with you.
DIY taco night versus a caterer
Weighing up a DIY taco night against a caterer? Consider your numbers, your guests’ diets and your own time. Ask us for a quote and compare.
A DIY taco night works well for a small group. For larger numbers, mixed diets or a wedding, a caterer takes the pressure off, and handles allergen information for you.

When the service is at a church such as St Richard's, the truck would serve at the reception venue rather than at the church. Historic houses near Hollingdean include Preston Manor & Gardens (0.9 miles west) and Royal Pavilion (1.5 miles south). Historic houses and estates typically have firm rules on vehicles, so ask where a hired food truck could park before you book.

Some venues in protected landscapes have rules on vehicles, so check with yours. The coast is within about 2 miles of Hollingdean, so a hired food truck at a seaside venue is an option. The truck or trailer needs firm ground rather than sand or shingle, and seafront spots typically need permission.
