How our food truck hire works in Rottingdean
Food truck hire means our truck or trailer is booked for your guests only. It’s a private booking, not public trading, so the menu and timings are set around your event. We serve fresh salsas and guacamole, tacos from the hatch and quesadillas, and it suits big birthdays and weddings.
In a rural place like Rottingdean, access is the main thing to plan for a hired truck: the gate, the ground and the distance from the lane. We confirm power and water arrangements with you. We arrive ready to serve, and clear our own area when service is finished.

Historic houses near Rottingdean include Royal Pavilion (3.2 miles west) and Monk's House (3.9 miles north-east). If you are hiring a historic venue, check early whether it allows a catering vehicle on site. Before you plan a private event in Beacon Hill, ask whoever manages it about vehicles on site.

Some venues in protected landscapes have rules on vehicles, so check with yours. With the coast within about 4 miles of Rottingdean, wind is worth planning for. A sheltered, firm spot for the truck or trailer and the queue works best.

Why choose food truck hire in Rottingdean?
Every order is cooked and served hot, not left standing on a buffet.
Almost any gathering can work with a truck or trailer. In Rottingdean, you could book us for occasions like:
- Milestone birthdays
- Christenings and family parties
- Parties in venue grounds
- Leaving dos and retirements
When the service is at a church such as St Wulfran's Church, the truck would serve at the reception venue rather than at the church.

- Tell us what the event is and who’s coming.
- We suggest fillings and dishes for every diet.

What else we do in Rottingdean
Dietary needs and planning tips
Nearly every event has some special diets. To cater well for them:
- Let us know who is coeliac
- Ask guests with severe allergies to speak to us beforehand
- Check gate widths and any height limits
- Ask the venue about catering vehicles before you book
We can serve through rain, but guests will want a covered area to eat.
Ask us about napkins, plates and cutlery and we will confirm what’s possible.
What we need at the venue
Everything is served from our truck or trailer, so where we park matters. These are the things we check:
- Room for guests to gather at the hatch
- Firm, level ground or hardstanding where the truck or trailer can park
- Gate widths, overhead branches and soft ground checked in advance
