Food truck hire for Iford events
About our food truck hire in Iford
We serve when you want us to: a set lunch hour, an evening slot or a few hours through a party. Let us know your running order and we’ll plan around it. Popular choices include burrito bowls, loaded nachos and fresh salsas and guacamole, and it is a good fit for engagements and anniversaries and end-of-year parties.
In a rural place like Iford, access is the main thing to plan for a hired truck: gate widths, soft ground and the route from the road all matter. Power and water may be limited, so we confirm the arrangements before the day. Every guest is catered for, vegan, vegetarian, dairy-free and gluten-free included, and we give allergen information for every dish.

Space, access and the venue
Access is the first thing to check for a truck or trailer. We need:
- The landowner’s go-ahead for the truck or trailer
- Room for guests to gather at the hatch
- Some space between the truck and nearby homes
If you’re unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think.
How the day works
We work to your timings. If speeches run late or the photos take longer, let us know and we’ll adjust where we can. Evening events in Iford stay light until about 9:15pm at midsummer. After that, festoon lights or lamps near the truck help guests order.
- Tell us the date, the location, rough numbers and any diets.
- We suggest a menu for the hatch and quote for it.
- We confirm the parking spot, access, power and water with you or the venue.
- Your guests order at the hatch and we serve hot food at the agreed times.
- Once guests are fed, we clear our area and head off.
Before we arrive
- Confirm numbers and diets before the day
- Have level hardstanding or firm ground ready
- Have a marquee or gazebo ready in case of rain

For event organisers in Iford
Venues often have their own rules about outside caterers: vehicle access, arrival times and documents. Send us your venue’s requirements and we’ll follow them.
Events in public spaces, like parks, normally need permission. We can send what the landowner or council needs from us.
DIY taco night versus a caterer
A DIY taco night works well for a small group. For larger numbers, mixed diets or a wedding, a caterer takes the pressure off, with allergen information for every dish.
Not sure whether to do it yourself or book a caterer? Think about numbers, diets and how much you want to enjoy the day. Ask us for a quote and compare.
Is food truck hire right for your event?
A marquee kitchen with plated service needs more space, more staff and more time. Our food truck or trailer brings the kitchen and serves from one hatch, needing level ground, access and the venue’s permission. Comparing caterers? Look at what each quote includes: serving hours, staff, disposables, travel and VAT. Contact us for a quote and we will set out what’s included.
Why us?
- Allergen information for everything we serve
- Events in Iford and across East Sussex
- Quoted for your event
- Tacos, burritos and a drinks bar

Iford: your questions answered
Could we book your food truck for a private event in Iford?
Yes, depending on the date. For a private or work event in a village or hamlet, the main thing is access: tell us about the lane, the gate and the ground.
Is Iford close to London?
About 45 miles from central London.
Do you cater for vegetarian guests?
Of course. Vegetarian and vegan fillings, such as spiced mushrooms or black beans, can be part of the menu.
What do you need at the venue?
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. If in doubt, send us a photo of the space and the way in.
Is the food made fresh?
We cook to order in our truck or trailer kitchen, or serve from a taco bar. Fillings are slow-cooked beforehand and finished on site.
How long do you serve for?
We get there well before service to set up. Serving times are agreed with you in advance.
How spicy is the food?
We can keep it mild, and hotter salsas go on the side for guests who like heat.
Who clears up?
We pack down and leave our area tidy. Tell us the venue’s rules on waste and clearing up and we’ll confirm the arrangements with your quote.

Planning for every diet
Allergies and diets are taken seriously. Here’s how you can help:
- Email us any allergies
- Look into parking permissions if the truck cannot go off-road
- Have shelter ready in case of rain
- Collect diets and allergies with your RSVPs
The hatch opens at the time you choose, and we cook each order as it comes.
Ask about a second service later in the evening, quoted with the main booking.
Why choose food truck hire in Iford?
You do not need a kitchen, so gardens, fields and grounds all become options with the venue’s agreement.
If you’re planning any of these, we can help:
- Client events and product launches
- Back-garden parties
- Staff appreciation days
- Birthday parties
When the service is at a church such as St Pancras Church (Kingston near Lewes), the truck would serve at the reception venue rather than at the church.

Hiring a food truck in Iford
Iford is about 2 miles south of Lewes, in East Sussex. From the centre of Iford to the outskirts, food truck hire works the same way: a truck or trailer at your event, options for every diet and a clear price. Iford is one of 289 towns and villages in East Sussex where we can bring food truck hire.
Roughly 45 miles separate Iford from central London, which can suit a team day out of the city with a hired food truck. Local halls and clubs around Iford can be an option for food truck hire, given vehicle access. Iford is within about 2 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. The coast is within about 6 miles of Iford, 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 usually need permission.
