About our food truck hire in Sompting
When you hire our food truck, it serves your guests and nobody else. It is a private booking, not public trading, so we plan the menu and service times around you. Popular choices include burrito bowls, loaded nachos and burritos, and it suits private parties in fields and grounds and staff summer parties.
In a smaller place like Sompting, hiring our food truck for a party at home is often the easiest option: no venue hire, and guests order at the hatch. Let us know about the route to the house. We arrive ready to serve, and clear our own area when service is finished.

Can I do a taco night myself?
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.
A DIY taco night is possible for a crowd, but it’s more work than it looks. There are fillings to slow-cook, tortillas to keep warm and salsas to make. Our taco bar guide explains how.
Dietary needs and planning tips
Good planning keeps every guest safe and happy. Here’s how:
- Check gate widths and any height limits
- Give us separate numbers for children
- Tell us when guests should eat
- Add a dietary question to the invitation
We can serve through rain, but guests will want a covered area to eat.
A taco-bar station can sit next to the truck for a wedding breakfast or lunch.
Before you choose a spot
Everything is served from our food truck or trailer, so the spot needs a little planning. Here’s what we look for:
- Parking arrangements if we’re not on private land
- Some space between the truck and nearby homes
- Space in front of the hatch for guests to queue
If you are unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think.
Sompting: your questions answered
Could you serve in Brooklands Park?
Only with permission from whoever runs the park, often the council. Ask them first, and we will help with the information they need from us.
Could you come to a seaside event near Sompting?
We can, given firm ground and the landowner’s permission. Beaches and promenades typically need the council’s agreement, so check that first.
What happens if it rains?
The truck or trailer can serve in the rain, but guests need somewhere covered to eat and drink, like a marquee or gazebo.
Can we hire the truck for our wedding?
The truck or trailer can serve the wedding breakfast, evening food or both. Timings are agreed with you and your venue. Read more in having a food truck at a wedding.
Do you cook on site?
We cook to order in our truck or trailer kitchen, or serve from a taco bar. Slow-cooked fillings are prepared in advance and kept hot on site.
Do you provide plates and napkins?
That’s confirmed with each quote. Let us know what the venue supplies and we will talk it through.
Do you do parties at home?
It depends on access. A drive or a spot nearby may work, with permission, if the garden itself is out of reach. Send us a photo and we will talk it through.
Can you cater for guests who avoid dairy?
Yes. We offer dairy-free options, and we’ll tell you which dishes contain milk.

Comparing your options
A hog roast suits meat eaters well, but tacos and bowls make vegan, gluten-free and dairy-free guests easier to feed. Access, parking and the distance to your venue can affect the price, so it helps to tell us about your venue. The full price is confirmed in your quote.

Step by step
A typical event goes like this: we park up and get ready, we open the hatch when you’re ready, and we serve your guests fresh until service ends. At midsummer, it stays light in Sompting until about 9:20pm, while late September brings sunset forward to around 7:05pm. In December it’s dark by about 3:55pm, so the queue by the hatch needs lighting.
- Check our availability for your date.
- 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.
- We pack down and drive away when service ends.
