Food truck hire for your event in Shoreham
We serve when you want us to: a lunchtime window, an evening service or a longer slot through a party. Let us know your running order and we’ll plan around it. It works well for client hospitality and engagements and anniversaries, serving burritos, loaded nachos and quesadillas.
In a hamlet or village like Shoreham, our food truck or trailer can serve a private party or a team day in a field or garden. Guests queue at the hatch, so have some cover ready in case of rain. You’ll know what’s included before booking: the menu, the service time and any extras you choose.
What we need at the venue
Everything is served from our food truck or trailer, so where we park matters. These are the things we check:
- Power and water, confirmed with each booking
- Parking arrangements if we’re not on private land
- Level, solid ground for the vehicle
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and the access, and we’ll advise.

Should I do it myself?
For a small group, a taco night at home can work well. For big numbers or lots of diets, a caterer makes life easier, and handles allergen information for you.
DIY catering keeps costs down, but the host spends the party serving. With a caterer, you get the food and drinks without the work.

Planning for every diet

The hatch opens at the time you choose, and we cook each order as it comes.
A taco-bar station can sit next to the truck.
Shoreham questions
Do you hire out your food truck for parties in places like Shoreham?
Yes, depending on the date. For a private or work event in a village or hamlet, the main thing is access: tell us about the lane, the gate and the ground.
Which station should guests use for Shoreham?
Shoreham has its own station: Shoreham (Kent) station.
How much does food truck hire cost in Shoreham?
It depends on guest numbers, the menu, the length of service and the location. Contact us for a quote.
How does private food truck hire work?
Our truck or trailer comes to your venue and serves your guests from the hatch. It’s a private booking for your guests only.
Is private hire the same as trading at a festival?
Private hire means we serve only your guests, with a menu and timings you agree with us. Festival and market trading is open to the public; see our street food catering page.
Where can the truck park?
Send us the address and a description of the spot, and we will check it works. There’s more in our space and power guide.
What about vegan and gluten-free guests?
We plan for diets before the day, though we can’t guarantee there are no traces of any allergen. Anyone with a severe allergy should contact us before the event.
Can you plan for allergies?
We plan allergen-aware menus, including for nut allergies, and give allergen information for every dish. We plan carefully and keep options separate, though we cannot promise a dish is allergen-free. Guests with severe allergies should talk to us before the event.
