About our food truck hire in Plumpton
The truck or trailer is a working kitchen on wheels, so your venue does not need a kitchen. What we do need is level ground, a way in and the venue’s agreement. It works well for parties in venue grounds and summer parties at home, serving vegan tacos, quesadillas and fresh salsas and guacamole.
In a small place like Plumpton, 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. Guests are served from our food truck or trailer, or from a serving table nearby, and we plan the service around your numbers.

Should I do it myself?
A DIY taco night is possible for a crowd, but it is more work than it looks. Fillings need slow cooking, tortillas need warming as you go, and salsas need making. Our taco bar guide explains how.

- Tell us what the event is and who’s coming.
- We suggest fillings and dishes for every diet.
- We check power, water and timings with the venue.
- Service runs at the times you choose.
- Once service ends, we tidy up and go.
Getting ready for the day

Questions from Plumpton
Could you serve our guests after a service at The Parish Church of St Michael and All Angels?

It depends on the event and how long service runs. Most bookings fall around 50 to 400 guests.
