Seaford questions
How far is Seaford from central London?
It is about 51 miles from central London, and inside the area we cover.
Do you come to events in the South Downs National Park?
Yes. Some venues there have rules about vehicles, ground and catering, so check with yours. We will follow the site rules.
How is private hire different from festival trading?
When you hire us, the booking is yours, so we do not serve passers-by. Event organisers should see street food for festivals.
What do you serve?
Every menu is agreed with you. Fillings might include slow-cooked pork carnitas, chicken tinga, beef birria and vegan options such as spiced mushrooms or black beans. Our sample menu has more ideas.
How much is a food truck for an event?
It depends on guest numbers, the menu, the length of service and the location. Contact us for a quote.
Do you bring plates and cutlery?
We confirm that with your quote. Let us know what the venue supplies and we’ll talk it through.
How far ahead should we book?
As early as you can, especially for summer weekends. Ask about your date even if it is soon.
Can you do gluten-free food?
Yes, we offer gluten-free options, using corn tortillas. Let us know about coeliac guests in advance so we can talk through how their food is prepared. See are corn tortillas gluten-free?
Food truck hire in Seaford, served fresh
A hired food truck works for weddings, birthdays and staff days, and any gathering where guests want hot food without a sit-down meal. Popular choices include vegan tacos, tacos from the hatch and burrito bowls, and it suits garden parties and end-of-year parties.
Hiring our food truck for a party or work do in Seaford means no cooking for you. Guests queue at the hatch and order, so leave room for a queue near the serving side. We arrive ready to serve, and clear our own area when service is finished.

Planning food truck hire around Seaford
Seaford is about 8 miles west of Eastbourne, in East Sussex. Whether your event is in the middle of Seaford or on the outskirts, we offer the same service: fresh service from our food truck or trailer, every diet planned for and a clear quote. We cater in 289 places across East Sussex, from the larger towns to small villages, wherever the truck or trailer can get in. We cater right across the region, from Seaford to Brighton (11 miles away).
Nearby historic houses include Alfriston Clergy House (3 miles north-east) and Charleston Farmhouse (4.6 miles north). Historic houses and estates usually have firm rules on vehicles, so ask where a hired food truck could park before you book. Before you plan a private event in Seaford Head Nature Reserve, ask whoever manages it about vehicles on site. Hiring our food truck for an event near the South Downs National Park, within about 3 miles of Seaford? Country lanes can be narrow and verges soft, so tell us about the route in. With the sea within about a mile, 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 usually need permission.
Food truck hire in BN25 is planned around your venue and access and timings. We can cater an event on streets such as High Street, Station Road and East Albany Road. With the A259 close by, Seaford is easy for us to reach for your event. Neighbouring places where we cater events include Bishopstone (1 mile north-west), Norton (2 miles north-west), Tide Mills (2 miles west), Westdean (2 miles east) and Dukes Green (3 miles north-east). Further out, we also cater in Eastbourne (8 miles east), Lewes (8 miles north-west), Hailsham (9 miles north-east), Uckfield (13 miles north), Newhaven (3 miles north-west) and Peacehaven (5 miles west). Being one of East Sussex’s larger places, Seaford has lots of places to hold an event, though town-centre access for a truck or trailer needs planning.
Nearby you will also find Newhaven Museum (2.9 miles north-west) and Arlington Castle (3.7 miles north-east). The countryside around Seaford includes Firle Beacon.
- Nearby schools include St Peter's School (under half a mile south-west) and Seaford Head School (0.5 miles south-east)
- Pubs nearby include Seven Sisters pub (less than half a mile north-east)
What’s on the menu
Burrito bowls
Rice, beans, a filling and toppings in a bowl.
Loaded nachos
A tray of nachos works as a starter or a late snack; dairy-free versions can be planned.
DIY taco night versus a caterer
Running your own drinks table is one option, but someone has to serve all evening. See our margarita bar guide.
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’ll do the serving.
Is food truck hire right for your event?
If you want guests to remember the food, a private food truck is a strong option. The cost per head can fall as numbers rise, because the set-up is similar for different sizes of event. Tell us your numbers for an accurate price.
