Common questions in Hove
Do you cater in the South Downs National Park?
Yes, though some venues in protected landscapes have extra rules; ask your venue. We will follow the site rules.
Can you bring your truck or trailer to St. Ann's Well Gardens?
It depends on the park’s owner, who would need to agree to a catering vehicle on site. Ask them first; if they say yes, we’ll send what they need from us.
What access do you need?
The main things are access and a level spot: a firm spot for the truck or trailer, room for a queue and, for a taco bar, space for a serving table. Send us a picture and tell us about gates, slopes and soft ground.
Is private hire the same as trading at a festival?
A private hire is booked and quoted for you, so we do not serve passers-by. Event organisers should see street food for festivals.
Is the food very hot?
We can keep it mild, with hotter salsas on the side for anyone who wants more heat.
Is there a minimum number of guests?
Truck and trailer service generally suits around 50 to 400 guests. Festivals can be bigger, and smaller parties are quoted case by case. Tell us your numbers.
How long do you serve for?
It depends on your event. We agree arrival, service and pack-down times with you to suit your day.
Do you need power and water?
That depends on the set-up, so we confirm power and water arrangements with each booking. Let us know whether there is a supply near where we will park.
Food truck hire or something else?
Plated catering needs a kitchen tent, waiting staff and set courses. A food truck arrives as a kitchen and serves from the hatch, needing level ground, access and the venue’s permission. A food truck can be a practical alternative to plated catering, because it needs no venue kitchen. Ask us for a quote.
What we offer in Hove

For planners, venues and organisers
Organising a club, school or community event in Hove? A truck or trailer serves a crowd quickly, with options for most diets. Give us the details and we’ll suggest a plan.
Throwing a party at home? Send us a photo of the space and tell us about the drive and gates, and we will tell you honestly whether a truck or trailer will fit.
DIY taco night versus a caterer
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 enjoy the party, let us serve.
You can set up your own drinks table, but someone still has to mix, pour and keep an eye on it all evening. See our margarita bar guide.
