Food truck hire in Prestonville: local tips
Prestonville is about 1 mile west of Brighton, in Brighton and Hove. For food truck hire in Prestonville, we plan around your venue and timings: a quote, a plan and friendly service on the day. We serve in all 30 towns and villages across Brighton and Hove.
Rail travellers will be glad to hear that the nearest station is Preston Park station, about 0.6 miles north. Central London is about 46 miles from Prestonville, which can suit a team day out of the city with a hired food truck. With the South Downs National Park within about 6 miles, a rural setting for your private or work event is within reach. Firm ground and a clear way in matter most for the truck or trailer. The coast is within about 2 miles of Prestonville, so a hired food truck at a seaside venue is an option. The truck or trailer needs firm ground rather than sand or shingle, and seafront spots normally need permission.
We serve at events all over the BN1, BN3 and BN88 postcode area. From Dyke Road, Home Road and Lloyd Road or anywhere nearby, we can bring food truck hire there, given access. Prestonville sits on or near the A23, which makes travel to your event easy.

Is food truck hire right for your event?
Cooking yourself saves on catering but costs you the day. With a hired truck, we do the cooking so you can join in. What’s on the menu makes a difference to the total, so tell us what you have in mind. Tell us your budget and we will suggest a menu.

What food truck hire costs
Here’s what makes the biggest difference to the price:
- Guest numbers
- How many staff you need
- The length of service
- What the venue already provides
Pricing depends on the event. A simple party menu and a full wedding day are very different jobs. Your quote sets it all out.
What to tell us
You don’t need every detail fixed to get a quote, but these help:
- Approximate guest numbers, including children
- A picture of where we’d park
- The date and rough timings
- Vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free, dairy-free and allergy numbers
Each quote is tailored to your event. Give us your date and numbers, and we’ll check availability at the same time.
Catering for every guest
Allergies and diets are taken seriously. Here’s how you can help:
- Send allergy details in writing
- Think about cover if the weather turns
- Flag any coeliac guests
- Check early that your venue allows food trucks
We arrive in the agreed window and park where we’ve arranged. Someone on site to meet us makes it smoother.
Add a build-your-own taco bar beside the truck.
A closer look at the menu
Tacos from the hatch
Tacos are quick to serve and easy to eat standing up.
Burritos
Rice, beans, a filling and salsa wrapped in a big tortilla.
The process
We need a level, firm spot we can drive the truck or trailer onto, and we agree power and water arrangements before the day. Send us a picture of the space if you’re unsure. December events in Prestonville lose the light at about 3:55pm, so ask the venue about outdoor lighting where we’ll park. In late June, it stays light until about 9:20pm.
- Ask us whether your date is available.
- We agree a hatch menu and send a quote.
- We confirm the parking spot and the route in.
- On the day, guests order at the hatch and we cook to order.
- After service, we close up and leave the spot clear.
Before we arrive
- Confirm numbers and diets before the day
- Tell us about narrow gates or low branches
- Get the venue’s permission for us to park and serve
Getting a price
It’s easy to get a price: tell us the date, place, numbers and any dietary needs. We’ll come back with a clear quote and a suggested menu.

Should I do it myself?
Not sure whether to do it yourself or book a caterer? Consider your numbers, your guests’ diets and your own time. Contact us for a quote to compare.
Some hosts like to do it themselves. The usual problems are cold tortillas, running out of a popular filling and a host stuck at the stove. If you’d rather be with your guests, we will do the serving.
Prestonville questions
We’re having a ceremony at St Luke's Church Prestonville: can you cater afterwards?
Yes, at a nearby garden, marquee or hall with access for the truck or trailer. Service would be at the reception venue, not the church. Tell us where the reception will be.
Is Prestonville close to London?
About 46 miles from central London, and well within our area.
How big an event can you cater?
It depends on the menu and how long service runs, but around 50 to 400 guests is the usual range. For anything outside that, ask us.
Do you do parties at home?
It depends on access. A drive or a spot nearby may work, with permission, if the garden itself is out of reach. Tell us about the space and we will advise.
Is private hire the same as trading at a festival?
A private hire is booked and quoted for you, and we don’t sell to the public. Organisers wanting us to trade at their event can see our festival page.
How much does food truck hire cost?
We quote for every hire, depending on numbers, menu, location and timings. Contact us for a quote.
Can you cater for vegetarians and vegans?
Of course. We can include vegetarian and vegan fillings like black beans or spiced mushrooms.
Can you do dairy-free food?
Yes, we can. Let us know your dairy-free numbers, and we will include them in the plan.
