Food truck hire near Runcton
Planning for every diet
Nearly every event has some special diets. To cater well for them:
- Walk the access route and note narrow gaps
- Check parking and loading rules for street locations
- Think about cover if the weather turns
- Give us separate numbers for children
We drive in at the agreed time and park in the planned spot. It helps if someone can meet us on arrival.
Nachos for sharing at the start are a good way to begin.
Food truck hire in Runcton, served fresh
Our drinks bar can be hired with the truck with margaritas, Mexican beer and aguas frescas. We can add a taco-bar station next to the truck. It suits wedding receptions and engagements and anniversaries, with burritos, vegan tacos and tacos from the hatch.
Somewhere as small as Runcton, food truck hire can mean a garden, a field or a barn. Lanes, gates and long drives are fine if we know about them. Firm ground matters, especially after rain. You’ll know what’s included before booking: menu, timings and any add-ons.

Working with your venue
Events in public spaces, like parks, generally need permission. We will provide the information the landowner or council asks for from us.
If you’re organising for someone else, such as a wedding planner, an office manager or a festival organiser, we’re happy to deal with you and the venue directly. It saves passing messages back and forth.
How it works
When we arrive, we park the truck or trailer in the agreed spot and set up. We’re ready to serve at the agreed time, planned around your event. Planning a private evening event in Runcton? Sunset is around 8:50pm in late May and 9:20pm in late June. After that, festoon lights or lamps near the truck help guests order.
- Ask us whether your date is available.
- We agree a hatch menu and send a quote.
- The spot and the way in are agreed in advance.
- We drive in, open the hatch and serve your guests.
- We pack down and drive away when service ends.
How to prepare

Planning help
Before you choose a spot
Many gardens, fields and venues can take a truck or trailer, but there are a few things to check:
- Arrangements for power and water, agreed when you book
- Agreement from the venue to bring in a catering vehicle
- Parking arrangements if we’re not on private land
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and the access, and we’ll advise before booking.

Runcton: your questions answered
How far is Runcton from London?
Roughly 55 miles from the centre of London, and we cover it.
We’re having a ceremony at The Parish Church of St Stephen: can you cater afterwards?
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.
Can you cater for children?
Of course. We can keep dishes mild, and simple options such as quesadillas or nachos can be part of the menu. Include children in your numbers.
Do you cook on site?
We slow-cook fillings ahead, then finish them and keep them hot at your event. Tortillas are warmed on site, and salsas and guacamole are made fresh.
Do you need electricity?
Tell us what the site has, for instance a supply from the venue, and we’ll confirm what we need with your quote.
Can you cater in a back garden?
That depends on access. If the truck or trailer cannot reach the garden, a drive or a spot nearby may work, with permission. Tell us about the space and we will advise.
What’s on the menu?
We agree a sample menu with each client. Fillings might include chicken tinga, pork carnitas, al pastor-style pork and vegan options like black beans. See our menu for ideas.
Can we have a build-your-own taco bar?
Yes, a taco bar is one of our options. Tell us about your space and numbers and we will suggest the best set-up.
Food truck hire or something else?
A DIY barbecue keeps a host at the grill. Hire the truck and the cooking is ours so you can join in. A food truck can be a practical alternative to plated catering, because it needs no venue kitchen. Ask us for a quote.
