Space, access and the venue
Everything is served from our food truck or trailer, so where we park matters. Here’s what we look for:
- Room for guests to gather at the hatch
- Arrangements for power and water, agreed when you book
- Distance from houses and windows
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and the access, and we will advise before booking.
How our food truck hire works in Plumpton Green
The hatch menu is agreed with you: tacos, burritos, burrito bowls, loaded nachos or quesadillas, finished with salsas and guacamole. Popular choices include burritos, fresh salsas and guacamole and tacos from the hatch, which works well for christenings and family parties and birthday parties.
In a hamlet or village like Plumpton Green, 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. Timings are planned around your event, whether that is speeches, a lunch break or a festival schedule.

How the day works
We get there well before you want to serve, set up the truck or trailer and get everything ready. Guests come up to order when service opens. Late-September events in Plumpton Green see sunset at about 7:05pm, so a later service will need some lighting. In late May, daylight lasts until about 8:50pm.

Plumpton Green: your questions answered
Can you bring a truck or trailer to venues in the South Downs National Park?
We do, where the venue allows a catering vehicle. Lanes can be narrow and ground soft, so tell us how we’d get in.
Do you come out to small places like Plumpton Green?
Yes. Villages and hamlets are part of our area, and the main thing is access: tell us about the lane, the gate and the ground.
Can you cater for children?
Of course. Mild dishes, quesadillas and nachos can be part of the menu. Include children in your numbers.
Can you cater for guests who avoid dairy?
Yes, we can. Let us know your dairy-free numbers, and we will plan the menu around them.
When do you arrive?
That depends on your event and menu. We agree arrival, service and pack-down times with you so everything fits your schedule.
Do you need power and water?
It depends on the event and the set-up, so we confirm power and water arrangements with each booking. Let us know whether there’s a supply near where we will park.
Can you keep it mild?
That is your choice: we can keep it mild and put the hotter salsas on the side. Read more about how spicy Mexican food is.
Do you provide drinks?
Yes. The drinks bar can be added to food or booked on its own. We will check the licensing for alcohol with you.
Can I do a taco night myself?
Running your own drinks table is one option, but someone has to serve all evening. See our margarita bar guide.
DIY catering keeps costs down, but the host spends the party serving. With a caterer, you get the food and drinks without the work.
