Food truck hire near Nuthurst
How our food truck hire works in Nuthurst
The truck or trailer is a working kitchen on wheels, so your venue does not need a kitchen. We need a level spot, safe access and the venue’s permission, with power and water confirmed per booking. At private parties in fields and grounds and end-of-year celebrations, we will put together a menu of tacos from the hatch, loaded nachos and burrito bowls for your guests.
In a small place like Nuthurst, a hired food truck might park in a garden, paddock or field. Lanes, gates and long drives are fine if we know about them. Firm ground matters, especially after rain. Everything is prepared fresh for your event and served from our food truck or trailer, so guests get it at its best.

- Agree service times with us

We arrive in the agreed window and park where we’ve arranged. It helps if someone can meet us on arrival.

FAQs for Nuthurst
Do you come out to small places like Nuthurst?
Yes, small places are no problem, given access. Tell us about lanes, gates, ground and parking.
Can you bring your truck or trailer to Leonardslee?
It depends on the park’s owner, who would need to agree to a catering vehicle on site. Ask them first; if they say yes, we will send what they need from us.
How much is a food truck for an event?
It depends on guest numbers, the menu, the length of service and the location. Contact us for a quote.
Do you have vegan options?
Yes, they’re part of the planning from the start. Tell us your numbers when you ask for a quote, and we will keep their options separate.
Can you do dairy-free food?
Yes, we can. Let us know your dairy-free numbers, and we will plan the menu around them.
What do you need at the venue?
Tell us where you’d like the truck, and we’ll check it works. There is more in our space and power guide.
Is the food suitable for children?
Yes, children are welcome. Tell us how many and roughly how old, and we will suggest mild options.
Which areas do you serve?
We cater across London and the South East, including West Sussex. Find your area.
What we need at the venue
No two venues are the same, so we ask about the space when you contact us. Generally, we look for:
- Firm, level ground or hardstanding where the truck or trailer can park
- Some space between the truck and nearby homes
- Space in front of the hatch for guests to queue
If you’re unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think before booking.
On the menu in Nuthurst
- Mexican drinks bar

For planners, venues and organisers
Venues often have their own rules about outside caterers: vehicle access, arrival times and documents. Tell us what your venue needs and we’ll work to it.
Events in public spaces, like parks, usually need permission. We will provide the information the landowner or council asks for from us.
Is food truck hire right for your event?
A hog roast suits meat eaters well, but tacos and bowls make vegan, gluten-free and dairy-free guests easier to feed. Larger events can cost less per head, since the set-up is much the same either way. Give us your numbers and we’ll quote.
