Food truck hire for Southover events
How our food truck hire works in Southover
Truck and trailer service normally suits around 50 to 400 guests. Smaller gatherings are looked at case by case. For company away days and garden parties, we can serve fresh salsas and guacamole, burritos and tacos from the hatch and more.
For a place the size of Southover, food truck hire at your own home is often simplest: no venue to book, and guests order straight from the hatch. Tell us about the lane and the drive. We turn up ready to serve, and tidy our own area afterwards.

DIY taco night or a caterer?
You can set up your own drinks table, but someone has to serve all evening. See our margarita bar guide.
A DIY taco night works well for a small group. For larger numbers, mixed diets or a wedding, a caterer takes the pressure off, and handles allergen information for you.

If you are unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think before booking.

FAQs for Southover
Can you bring your truck or trailer to Railway Land?
It depends on the park’s owner, who would need to agree to a catering vehicle on site. Ask them first; if they say yes, we’ll send what they need from us.
Do you cater in the South Downs National Park?
Yes, though some venues in protected landscapes have extra rules; ask your venue. We’ll follow the site rules.
How does private food truck hire work?
We bring our truck or trailer to your venue, park in the agreed spot and serve your guests from the hatch. Only your guests are served.
How long are you on site?
That depends on your event and menu. We agree arrival, service and pack-down times with you to suit your day.
Can you cater for vegetarians and vegans?
Yes, and we plan them in from the start. Tell us your numbers when you ask for a quote.
Is food truck hire good for weddings?
A food truck suits a relaxed wedding well, especially in the evening. We agree access and timings with the venue.
What food and drinks do you offer?
Mexican street food: tacos and build-your-own taco bars, burritos, burrito bowls, nachos and quesadillas, with salsas, guacamole and toppings. A drinks bar is available too, with margaritas, Mexican beer and aguas frescas.
How is the food prepared?
We slow-cook fillings ahead, then finish them and keep them hot at your event. The tortillas are warmed on site, and the salsas and guacamole are made fresh.

- We confirm the parking spot, access, power and water with you or the venue.
