Food truck hire in South Chailey
How we price food truck hire
Two events with the same number of guests can cost different amounts, because of:
- What the venue already provides
- Food, drinks or both
- How long we are needed on site
- Distance and access to the venue
Cost depends on guest numbers, the menu and the length of service, along with extras and where your event is. Every event gets its own quote.
What we need to know
When you get in touch, it helps to tell us:
- The date and time of the event
- The venue or postcode
- How we drive in and where we can park
- Whether you’d like food, drinks or both
Every quote is put together for your event. Give us your date and numbers, and we will confirm whether we’re available that day.
Food truck hire in South Chailey, from our truck or trailer
Food truck hire suits weddings, milestone birthdays and staff events, and any gathering where guests want hot food without a sit-down meal. At parties in venue grounds and weddings, we will put together a menu of vegan tacos, tacos from the hatch and burrito bowls and more.
Somewhere as small as South Chailey, food truck hire can mean a garden, a field or a barn. Tell us about narrow lanes, gates and long drives. Soft ground after rain is worth mentioning too. We serve from the hatch of our food truck or trailer, or from a serving station, and we plan service so the queue keeps moving.

Your questions about food truck hire in South Chailey
Do you hire out your food truck for parties in places like South Chailey?
Yes, subject to the date and access for the truck or trailer. Let us know about access and where we’d park.
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’ll follow the site rules.
Do you give allergen information?
Our menus are planned with allergies in mind, nut allergies included, and give allergen information for every dish. We keep options separate, but we cannot promise anything is completely allergen-free. If a guest has a severe allergy, please talk to us before the event.
Do you provide drinks?
Yes, we offer a Mexican drinks bar, with margaritas, Mexican beer, aguas frescas and soft drinks. Your venue or event may need the right licence for alcohol, so we will talk licensing through with you.
