Your questions about food truck hire in Petworth
How far is Petworth from central London?
It is about 42 miles from central London, and inside the area we cover.
Which station is closest to Petworth?
Pulborough station, about 4.4 miles south-east of the centre.
Can we hire a bar too?
The drinks bar comes with bar staff and alcohol-free choices. Alcohol needs the right licence, which we will check with you.
Where can the truck park?
Tell us where you’d like the truck, and we will check it works. There’s more in our space and power guide.
Can you serve in the rain?
We can serve from the hatch in the rain. Plan cover for guests, such as a marquee or gazebo, and let us know if the ground gets soft after heavy rain.
How does private food truck hire work?
You hire the truck or trailer for agreed service times. We cook, serve and clear away.
Can you plan for allergies?
Yes, and it helps to hear about allergies when you book. UK law requires caterers to provide information on 14 allergens, and we do that for every dish (Food Standards Agency guidance). For severe allergies, please talk to us first.
Do you do a taco bar?
Yes, a taco bar is one of our options. Tell us about your space and numbers and we will suggest the best set-up.
Planning for every diet
A little planning makes sure everyone can eat. Try these:
- Email us any allergies
- Check early that your venue allows food trucks
- Put anyone with a severe allergy in touch with us
- Ask guests about dietary needs when they reply
We keep allergen information for every dish at the hatch.
Add a build-your-own taco bar beside the truck for a wedding breakfast or lunch.
The process
We arrive in good time before service, set up the truck or trailer and get everything ready. Guests come up to order when service opens. Late-September events in Petworth see sunset at about 7:05pm, so a later service will need some lighting. In late May, daylight lasts until about 8:50pm.
- Share your plans for the event.
- We suggest fillings and dishes for every diet.
- We check power, water and timings with the venue.
- Service runs at the times you choose.
- When everyone is fed, we clear our area.
Before we arrive
- Send us final numbers and dietary needs in good time
- Let us know who to talk to on the day
- Plan a covered area for guests if rain is likely

DIY taco night versus 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.
Some hosts like to do it themselves. Common snags are cold tortillas, uneven quantities and the host missing the party. If you’d rather be with your guests, we will do the serving.
Food truck hire or something else?
Most guests have seen a burger van. Tacos and burritos from a truck feel different. Catering from a truck or trailer can be a practical alternative to a sit-down meal, because it needs no venue kitchen. Ask us for a quote.
