In a hamlet or village like Old Shoreham, our food truck or trailer can serve a private party or a team day in a field or garden. Guests order at the hatch, so plan a sheltered spot for the queue in case of rain. Food and drinks can be booked together or separately, so one caterer can cover more of the day.

Common questions in Old Shoreham
Do you cater at coastal events near Old Shoreham?
We can, given firm ground and the landowner’s permission. Beaches and promenades generally need the council’s agreement, so check that first.
Do you hire out your food truck for parties in places like Old Shoreham?
Yes, subject to the date and access for the truck or trailer. Tell us about the lane, gates, ground and parking.
Can you do gluten-free food?
Yes, with corn tortillas. Corn is naturally gluten-free, though some sauces and toppings can contain gluten, so we check every dish and give allergen information.
What do you need at the venue?
Level, firm ground or hardstanding for the truck or trailer, and a route in it can fit through, and the venue’s agreement. We confirm power and water with you for each booking.
Do you do margaritas?
Yes, we run a Mexican drinks bar, serving margaritas, Mexican beer, aguas frescas such as hibiscus and horchata, and soft drinks. Alcohol at an event may need a licence, such as a premises licence or a Temporary Event Notice, so we will check the licensing with you.
Do you have vegan options?
Yes. We can include vegetarian and vegan fillings like black beans or spiced mushrooms.
Do you have options for kids?
Yes. We can keep dishes mild, and simple options such as quesadillas or nachos can be part of the menu. Tell us how many children are coming.
What about power on site?
Let us know what’s available on site, for example a supply from the venue, and we will confirm what we need with your quote.

Step by step
We get there well before you want to serve, then set up and prepare everything. Guests come up to order when service opens. December events in Old Shoreham lose the light at about 3:55pm, so choose a well-lit spot for the truck or trailer. In late June, it stays light until about 9:20pm.
- Tell us the date, the location, rough numbers and any diets.
- We check availability and send a menu and a quote for hiring the truck or trailer.
- We confirm the parking spot, access, power and water with you or the venue.
- We arrive, open the hatch and cook to order for your guests.
- When service ends, we pack up and leave the spot clear.
How to prepare
- Confirm the venue allows outside caterers
- Tell us when you want service to start
- Tell us about narrow gates or low branches

Popular choices
Burrito bowls
Bowls suit anyone skipping tortillas.
Loaded nachos
A tray of nachos works as a starter or a late snack; dairy-free versions can be planned.
DIY taco night versus a caterer
Doing it yourself saves money, but the host ends up in the kitchen. With a caterer, you get the food and drinks without the work.
Not sure whether to do it yourself or book a caterer? Think about numbers, diets and how much you want to enjoy the day. Ask us for a quote and compare.
