- Timings and hours
- Whether you need disposables

Catering from a truck or trailer can be a practical alternative to a sit-down meal, as there’s no kitchen to hire. Contact us for a quote to compare.

Polegate: your questions answered
How far is Polegate from central London?
About 49 miles from central London.
Could you serve our guests after a service at St John's Church of England Church?
Yes. The church itself isn’t where we’d set up, but a hall, field or garden close by with room for the truck or trailer can work well. Let us know the reception address and we will check the access.
What do you need at the venue?
A firm, level spot, a way in that fits the vehicle, and the venue’s agreement. Power and water are confirmed with each booking.
Do you come to Polegate?
Yes. We cover London and the South East, and Polegate is within our area and the rest of East Sussex. To check your date, drop us a line using the enquiry form.
Can you plan for allergies?
Yes. Tell us about allergies when you book. Under UK rules, caterers must give information on 14 allergens, and we give it for every dish (Food Standards Agency guidance). For severe allergies, please talk to us first.
Can we add drinks?
We bring bar staff with the drinks bar. We’ll talk through licensing first.
How does private food truck hire work?
You hire the truck or trailer for agreed service times. We cook, serve and clear away.
Can guests build their own tacos?
Yes. We can set up a build-your-own taco bar, served from the truck or a serving table, with fillings, salsas, guacamole and toppings. Read our taco bar guide.
The process
The truck or trailer needs a level, firm spot with access to drive in, and we agree power and water arrangements before the day. Send us a picture of the space if you’re unsure. Late-September events in Polegate see sunset at about 7:00pm, so a later service will need some lighting. A late-May event keeps its light until roughly 8:50pm.
- Send us your date, the address, a headcount and dietary needs.
- We check availability and send a menu and a quote for hiring the truck or trailer.
- Before the day, we agree the spot, the way in, power and water.
- We arrive, open the hatch and cook to order for your guests.
- When service ends, we pack up and leave the spot clear.
Before we arrive
- Pick a flat, firm spot for us to park
- Ask the venue about power and water
- Check the venue is happy to have a truck or trailer on site
