Food truck hire in Kemptown, served fresh
You choose the hatch menu with us: tacos, burritos, burrito bowls, loaded nachos or quesadillas, with fresh salsas and guacamole. Popular choices include tacos from the hatch, burritos and vegan tacos, which works well for engagements and anniversaries and christenings and family parties.
Around Kemptown, a hired food truck can serve in a garden, a field or a hall car park. Narrow roads and soft ground are fine if we know about them. You can book food, drinks or both, so the food and drinks can come from one caterer.

Kemptown: your questions answered
Can you bring a truck or trailer to venues in the South Downs National Park?
We do, where the venue allows a catering vehicle. Lanes can be narrow and ground soft, so tell us how we’d get in.
Can you serve near the sea around Kemptown?
Yes, as long as the site allows it and the ground is firm. Wind, sand and seafront permissions are the main things to plan on the coast.
Who clears up?
We pack down and tidy our own area after service. For anything beyond that, such as guests’ tables, ask us.
Do you cater in Kemptown?
We do. Kemptown is one of the places we cover. Tell us your date and we’ll check availability.
What happens if it rains?
The truck or trailer can serve in the rain, but your guests will want somewhere covered, like a marquee or gazebo.
Do you need electricity?
Tell us what the site has, for instance a supply from the venue, and we will confirm what we need with your quote.
Do you offer a bar with the truck?
Our Mexican drinks bar can be added to a truck booking, with margaritas, Mexican beer and aguas frescas. We will talk licensing through with you.
Do you cater for coeliacs?
Yes, we offer gluten-free options, made with corn tortillas. Let us know about coeliac guests in advance so we can explain how we prepare their food. See are corn tortillas gluten-free?
Is food truck hire right for your event?
Burger and pizza vans are familiar. Tacos and burritos from a truck feel different. Your choice of food and drinks affects the price, so share your ideas with us. Tell us your budget and we will suggest a menu.

How the day works
The truck or trailer tends to draw a crowd, so we’ll help you choose a spot with room for a queue. We can serve in the rain, though guests will want somewhere covered to stand or sit. At midsummer, it stays light in Kemptown until about 9:15pm, and by late September sunset is about 7:05pm. For winter events, dark by about 3:55pm, plan lighting where guests queue at the hatch.
- Check our availability for your date.
- You get a menu for the hatch and a quote.
- The spot and the way in are agreed in advance.
- On the day, guests order at the hatch and we cook to order.
- After service, we close up and leave the spot clear.
Getting ready for the day
- Confirm numbers and diets before the day
- Tell us about narrow gates or low branches
- Choose a level, firm spot for the truck or trailer
