Food truck hire in Horsted Keynes
How the day works
A typical event goes like this: we park up and get ready, we open the hatch when you’re ready, and we serve your guests fresh for the agreed time. At midsummer, it stays light in Horsted Keynes until about 9:20pm, 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.
- Share your plans for the event.
- Together we plan dishes that cover your guests’ diets.
- We check power, water and timings with the venue.
- Service runs at the times you choose.
- When everyone is fed, we clear our area.

How our food truck hire works in Horsted Keynes
We cook inside our truck or trailer, so there is no need for kitchen space at the venue. We need a level spot, safe access and the venue’s permission, with power and water confirmed per booking. It suits milestone birthdays and company away days, serving fresh salsas and guacamole, quesadillas and burritos.
In a small place like Horsted Keynes, a hired food truck might park in a garden, paddock or field. Tell us about narrow lanes, gates and long drives. Soft ground after rain is worth mentioning too. We prepare everything fresh for your event and serve it straight from our truck or trailer.

Your questions about food truck hire in Horsted Keynes
Can you bring a truck or trailer to venues in the High Weald National Landscape?
Yes. Some venues there have rules about vehicles, ground and catering, so check with yours. Tell us about narrow lanes and soft ground.
Is Horsted Keynes close to London?
It is about 32 miles from central London, and inside the area we cover.
How does food truck hire work?
You book the truck or trailer for set hours at your event. We cook to order, serve from the hatch and pack down afterwards.
How spicy is the food?
That’s your choice: we can keep it mild and put the hotter salsas on the side.
Can we have a build-your-own taco bar?
Yes. We can set up a build-your-own taco bar, served from the truck or a serving table, with fillings, salsas, guacamole and toppings.
What food and drinks do you offer?
Every menu is agreed with you. Fillings could include slow-cooked pork carnitas, chicken tinga, beef birria and vegan options such as spiced mushrooms or black beans. Our sample menu has more ideas.
Do you cater for dietary needs?
We plan vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and dairy-free options, with corn tortillas for gluten-free guests. Allergen information is available for every dish.
What about power on site?
It depends on the event and the set-up, and we agree power and water with you before the day. Let us know whether there’s a supply near where we’ll park.

Other catering in Horsted Keynes
Why choose food truck hire in Horsted Keynes?
A DIY barbecue keeps a host at the grill. With a hired truck, we do the cooking. Cost depends on guest numbers, the menu and the length of service, plus any add-ons and the location. We quote for each event individually.
Why book with us
- A quote that sets out what’s included
- Events in Horsted Keynes and across West Sussex
- Allergen information for everything we serve
- A truck or trailer that comes to you
See our pricing or the cost guide.
Can I do a taco night myself?
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.
Some hosts like to do it themselves. The usual problems are cold tortillas, running out of a popular filling and a host stuck at the stove. If you’d rather enjoy the party, let us serve.
How we price food truck hire
Here’s what makes the biggest difference to the price:
- The number of people
- The length of service
- Parking and the route in
- Whether you need disposables
Larger events can cost less per head, since the set-up is much the same either way. Give us your numbers and we’ll quote.
What we need to know
The more we know about your event, the better we can plan. Try to include:
- Approximate guest numbers, including children
- How we drive in and where we can park
- Where the event is
- Your date and when you want service to start
The more you tell us, the more accurate the quote: venue, timings, menu ideas and access. When you’re ready, send us your details through our quote form.
About the menu
Burritos
Burritos suit hungry guests.
Salsas and guacamole
Salsas and guacamole finish every order, from mild to hot.
What we need at the venue
Access is the first thing to check for a truck or trailer. We look for:
- The venue’s or landowner’s permission for a food truck
- A clear area for a queue at the hatch
- A spot away from neighbours
If you are unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think before booking.
Planning for every diet
Allergies and diets are taken seriously. Help us by following these steps:
- Tell us when guests should eat
- Ask guests with severe allergies to speak to us beforehand
- Confirm the venue accepts outside caterers and vehicles
- Count children separately
The hatch opens at the time you choose.
Nachos for sharing at the start are a good way to begin.
Planners, venues and businesses
If you are organising for someone else, whether you are a planner, an office manager or an event organiser, we’ll work directly with you and the venue. It saves passing messages back and forth.
Booking for a company? Tell us what your finance team needs, and we will talk you through the process. We can work with your facilities team on access and timings.
