About our food truck hire in Newhaven
We cook inside our food truck or trailer, so your venue does not need a kitchen. We need a level spot, safe access and the venue’s permission. It suits leaving dos and retirements and parties in venue grounds, serving fresh salsas and guacamole, quesadillas and burrito bowls.
In Newhaven, drives and gardens vary a lot, and what matters is access and level ground. A nearby car park can also work, with permission. We prepare everything fresh for your event and serve it straight from our truck or trailer, so guests get it at its best.

Yes. We offer dairy-free options, and we will tell you which dishes contain milk.
