Food truck hire for Rye events
How our food truck hire works in Rye
The truck or trailer is a working kitchen on wheels, so your venue does not need a kitchen. What we do need is level ground, a way in and the venue’s agreement. We serve burritos, burrito bowls and vegan tacos, and it suits wedding receptions and garden parties.
In and around Rye, our truck or trailer can work at home, in a field or at a hall. If the road in is narrow or the ground soft, tell us so we can plan. Food and drinks can be booked together or separately, so one caterer can cover more of the day.

DIY taco night versus a caterer
DIY catering keeps costs down, but the host spends the party serving. With a caterer, you get the food and drinks without the work.
If you do it yourself, work out quantities first: see how many tacos per person. Keep tortillas warm in a covered basket, and label anything containing allergens.
The menu, item by item
Quesadillas
Quesadillas are a simple choice for children.
Burrito bowls
Bowls suit anyone skipping tortillas, and they’re easy to adapt.
How the day works
We arrive in good time before service, set up the truck or trailer and get everything ready. When service opens, guests come up to the hatch or serving table. A hired food truck at a summer event in Rye can serve in daylight until about 9:15pm at midsummer, while late September brings sunset forward to around 7:00pm. In December it is dark by about 3:55pm, so the queue by the hatch needs lighting.
- Send us your date, the address, a headcount and dietary needs.
- We suggest a menu for the hatch and quote for it.
- Where the truck or trailer will stand, the route in, and power and water are all agreed in advance.
- On the day we drive in, set up and serve to order from the hatch.
- Once guests are fed, we clear our area and head off.
Getting ready for the day
- Share the running order, including any speeches
- Choose a level, firm spot for the truck or trailer
- Check gates and access routes are wide and high enough
Ask for a quote
Not sure what you need yet? That is fine: tell us about the occasion and the guests, and we’ll make suggestions. When you are ready, tell us about it on our contact page.
