About our food truck hire in Shripney
Everyone orders at the hatch and gets food cooked to order. It keeps things easy and relaxed for guests and hosts. We serve fresh salsas and guacamole, burritos and quesadillas, and it’s a good fit for client events and product launches and private outdoor parties.
For a rural spot like Shripney, food truck hire needs a little planning: gate widths, soft ground and the route from the road all matter. Power and water may be limited, so we confirm the arrangements before the day. You will know what’s included before you book: menu, timings and any add-ons.

Is food truck hire right for your event?
A DIY barbecue keeps a host at the grill. Hire the truck and the cooking is ours so you can join in. The price depends on guest numbers, the menu and how long you’d like us to serve, along with extras and where your event is. We quote for each event individually.

The process
The truck or trailer tends to draw a crowd, so we’ll help you choose a spot with room for a queue. Rain doesn’t normally stop us serving, but guests will need somewhere covered. A Christmas party in Shripney with a hired food truck will be in the dark from about 4:00pm, so choose a well-lit spot for the truck or trailer. In late June, it stays light until about 9:20pm.
- Ask us whether your date is available.
- You get a menu for the hatch and a quote.
- We confirm the parking spot and the route in.
- We drive in, open the hatch and serve your guests.
- After service, we close up and leave the spot clear.
How to prepare
- Let us know who to talk to on the day
- Check the venue is happy to have a truck or trailer on site
- Plan a covered area for guests if rain is likely
Getting a price
Each quote is tailored to your event. Give us your date and numbers, and we will confirm whether we’re available that day.
Planning help
DIY taco night versus a caterer
Running your own drinks table is one option, but someone still has to mix, pour and keep an eye on it all evening. See our margarita bar guide.
Plenty of people try a DIY taco night at home. Common snags are cold tortillas, uneven quantities and the host missing the party. If you’d rather enjoy the party, let us serve.
Catering for every guest
Good planning keeps every guest safe and happy. Here’s how:
- Check parking and loading rules for street locations
- Tell us when guests should eat
- Confirm allergies with us in writing
- Guests with serious allergies should contact us first
We drive in at the agreed time and park in the planned spot. Someone on site to meet us makes it smoother.
Quesadillas make an easy option for children.
Planners, venues and businesses
If you are booking for a business, tell us what your finance team needs, and we will talk you through the process. We can work with your facilities team on access and timings.
For big numbers, we plan service to keep queues short, so guests are looked after quickly. Let us know how long the break is.
Common questions in Shripney
Which station should guests use for Shripney?
Guests can use Bognor Regis station, about 1.7 miles south of Shripney.
How far is Shripney from London?
Roughly 54 miles from the centre of London, and we cover it.
Can we hire the truck for our wedding?
Wedding food from a truck feels relaxed and sociable. We agree access and timings with the venue.
How spicy is the food?
It is up to you: we can keep the main dishes mild, with hotter salsas served separately.
How much is food truck hire?
We don’t publish set prices, because each hire is different. Tell us your plans and we’ll quote for your event. See the Mexican catering cost guide for background.
How is private hire different from festival trading?
A private hire is booked and quoted for you, so we don’t serve passers-by. Event organisers should see street food for festivals.
Do you have vegan options?
Yes, they’re part of the planning from the start. Tell us your numbers when you ask for a quote, and we will keep their options separate.
Do you bring plates and cutlery?
Please ask us. Tell us what your venue provides, and we will set out plates, napkins and cutlery in your quote.
Food truck hire in Shripney: local tips
Shripney is about 2 miles north-east of Bognor Regis, in West Sussex. From the centre of Shripney to the outskirts, we offer the same service: fresh service from our food truck or trailer, every diet planned for and a clear quote. Shripney is one of 371 places in West Sussex where we can bring food truck hire.
When the service is at a church such as Holy Cross Church, the truck would serve at the reception venue rather than at the church. For guests coming by train, Bognor Regis station is about 1.7 miles away. With the coast within about 2 miles of Shripney, wind is worth planning for. A sheltered, firm spot for the truck or trailer and the queue works best.
