Food truck hire near Rustington
How our food truck hire works in Rustington
The truck or trailer is a working kitchen on wheels, so your venue doesn’t need a kitchen. What we do need is level ground, a way in and the venue’s agreement. Popular choices include burrito bowls, quesadillas and loaded nachos, and it suits family celebrations and private parties in fields and grounds.
For a place the size of Rustington, food truck hire at your own home is often simplest: no venue hire, and guests order at the hatch. Let us know about the route to the house. We’ll check the space, access and power with you before the day, so set-up goes smoothly.

The process
We get there well before you want to serve, set up the truck or trailer and get everything ready. When service opens, guests come up to the hatch or serving table. By late September, it’s dark in Rustington at around 7:05pm, so a later service will need some lighting. In late May, daylight lasts until about 8:50pm.
- Share your plans for the event.
- We suggest fillings and dishes for every diet.
- We check power, water and timings with the venue.
- The truck serves at the agreed times.
- Once service ends, we tidy up and go.
Preparing for the day
- Ask the venue about power and water
- Have level hardstanding or firm ground ready
- Name one person we can ask on the day

Rustington: your questions answered
Could you come to a seaside event near Rustington?
Yes, as long as the site allows it and the ground is firm. Seafront and beach spots generally need permission, and wind is the main thing to plan for.
How far is Rustington from central London?
It’s about 51 miles from central London, and inside the area we cover.
What guest numbers do you cater for?
Truck and trailer service typically suits around 50 to 400 guests. Smaller parties are quoted case by case.
Can guests build their own tacos?
Yes, a taco bar is one of our options. Tell us about your space and numbers and we will suggest the best set-up.
Do you cater for dietary needs?
We plan vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and dairy-free options, and corn tortillas suit gluten-free guests. Every dish has allergen information.
Do you bring plates and cutlery?
Ask us when you enquire. Tell us what your venue provides, and we will set out plates, napkins and cutlery in your quote.
What does it cost to hire the truck?
We do not publish set prices, because each hire is different. Tell us your plans and we will quote for your event. See the Mexican catering cost guide for background.
Do you give allergen information?
We plan allergen-aware menus, including for nut allergies, with allergen information for every dish. We plan carefully and keep options separate, though we can’t promise a dish is allergen-free. Guests with severe allergies should talk to us before the event.
A closer look at the menu
Burritos
A large flour tortilla rolled round rice, beans, a filling and toppings.
Loaded nachos
Nachos are good for sharing between friends; dairy-free versions can be planned.
DIY taco night versus a caterer
Plenty of people try a DIY taco night at home. The usual problems are cold tortillas, running out of a popular filling and a host stuck at the stove. If you’d rather enjoy the party, let us serve.
DIY catering keeps costs down, but the host spends the party serving. With a caterer, you get the food and drinks without the work.
Occasions we cater for in Rustington
Nothing is needed from a venue kitchen, which opens up gardens, fields and car parks.
Here are some of the events we cater:
- Winter staff parties
- Client events and product launches
- Staff summer parties
- Private outdoor parties
Being close to the B2140 makes Rustington an easy run for the truck.
