Some hosts like to do it themselves. Common snags are cold tortillas, uneven quantities and the host missing the party. If you’d rather enjoy the party, let us serve.
Food truck hire in Laughton, from our truck or trailer
The hatch menu is agreed with you: tacos, burritos, burrito bowls, loaded nachos or quesadillas, with fresh salsas and guacamole. For anniversary celebrations and wedding receptions, we can serve vegan tacos, loaded nachos and tacos from the hatch.
In a rural place like Laughton, access is the main thing to plan for a hired truck: the gate, the ground and the distance from the lane. Power and water may be limited, so we confirm the arrangements before the day. We plan the timings around your day, so service starts when you want it.

For event organisers in Laughton
For larger events, we plan serving points around your timings, so guests are looked after quickly. Let us know how long the break is.
If you run the same event each year, tell us your dates early, so we can plan ahead.
Why choose food truck hire in Laughton?
It is a private hire, so there are no public queues and the menu is set for your guests.
Almost any gathering can work with a truck or trailer. People in Laughton can book us for occasions like:
- Wedding evening food
- Christenings and family parties
- Staff summer parties
- End-of-year celebrations
When the service is at a church such as The Parish Church of All Saints, the truck would serve at the reception venue rather than at the church.

Planning for every diet
A Mexican menu is easy to plan for mixed diets, because options can be kept separate. Here are a few tips for planning:
- Email us any allergies
- Agree service times with us
- Plan a covered area for guests to eat
- Ask guests about dietary needs when they reply
If your timings move, let us know, and we will work around it.

Space, access and the venue
Access is the first thing to check for a truck or trailer. We look for:
- Seating or standing room near the truck
- Power and water, confirmed with each booking
- The landowner’s go-ahead for the truck or trailer
If you are unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think.
FAQs for Laughton
Do you cater in villages like Laughton?
Yes. Villages and hamlets are part of our area, and the main thing is access: tell us about the lane, the gate and the ground.
What’s the nearest station to Laughton for guests?
Glynde station, about 3.9 miles south-west of the centre.
How much space do you need?
Access and level ground matter most: a level spot to park, space for guests to queue and a little room for a serving table. If in doubt, send us a photo of the space and the way in.
Is private hire the same as trading at a festival?
At a private hire, we serve your guests and nobody else, with a menu and timings you agree with us. At festivals and markets we trade to the public; see our street food catering page.
What happens if it rains?
We can keep serving from the truck or trailer in the rain, but guests need somewhere covered to eat and drink, such as a marquee, gazebo or nearby building.
Do you cater for dietary needs?
There are vegan, vegetarian, dairy-free and gluten-free options, with corn tortillas for gluten-free guests. Every dish has allergen information.
What does food truck hire cost?
Every event is quoted individually, so the price fits what you want. Give us your date, numbers and menu ideas for a clear quote.
Which areas do you serve?
We cater across London and the South East, including East Sussex. Find your area.
What affects the price in Laughton
The same guest numbers can mean different prices, because of:
- Distance and access to the venue
- Staff for serving and the bar
- The number of people
- Food, drinks or both
Cost depends on guest numbers, the menu and the length of service, along with extras and where your event is. Every event gets its own quote.
Details that help
You don’t need every detail fixed to get a quote, but it helps to know:
- Roughly how many adults and children
- Your date and when you want service to start
- Diets and allergies you know about
- Where the event is
We quote for each event separately, so the price fits what you actually want. For a quote, tell us about it on our contact page.
