Common questions in Magham Down
Which station is closest to Magham Down?
Polegate station, about 4.5 miles south-west of the centre.
Could we book your food truck for a private event in Magham Down?
Yes, as long as we’re available on the date and can get the truck or trailer in. Let us know about access and where we’d park.
Can we add drinks?
You can add our drinks bar, with margaritas, Mexican beer and aguas frescas. Licensing is checked with you.
Is the food suitable for children?
Yes, children are easy to plan for. Tell us how many and roughly how old, and we’ll suggest mild options.
Do you provide allergen information for each dish?
Yes, and it helps to hear about allergies when you book. Under UK rules, caterers must give information on 14 allergens, and we give it for every dish (Food Standards Agency guidance). For severe allergies, please talk to us first.
Do you cater for dietary needs?
We plan vegan, vegetarian, dairy-free and gluten-free options, with corn tortillas for gluten-free guests. Every dish has allergen information.
What does hiring your food truck involve?
We bring our food truck or trailer to your venue, park in the agreed spot and serve your guests from the hatch. Only your guests are served.
How is the food prepared?
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.
Food truck hire for your event in Magham Down
The truck or trailer is a working kitchen on wheels, so there’s no need for kitchen space at the venue. What we do need is level ground, a way in and the venue’s agreement. On the menu are quesadillas, burritos and vegan tacos, and it’s a good fit for engagement parties and garden parties.
In a small place like Magham Down, 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 turn up ready to serve, and tidy our own area afterwards.

DIY taco night or a caterer?
Doing it yourself saves money, but the host ends up in the kitchen. Booking a caterer means you can relax with everyone else.
If you do it yourself, work out quantities first: see how many tacos per person. Keep warmed tortillas covered, and label dishes for guests with allergies.
How it compares
Plated catering needs a kitchen tent, waiting staff and set courses. Our food truck or trailer brings the kitchen and serves from one hatch, needing level ground, access and the venue’s permission. The cost per head can fall as numbers rise, since the set-up is much the same either way. Tell us your numbers for an accurate price.
Why us?
- Fast service, even with a queue
- A truck or trailer that comes to you
- Tacos, burritos and a drinks bar
- Set-up planned with you and your venue
