Food truck hire in Southwick, served fresh
We serve when you want us to: a set lunch hour, an evening slot or a few hours through a party. Tell us when guests should eat. It suits staff summer parties and retirement parties, serving quesadillas, loaded nachos and tacos from the hatch.
In a hamlet or village like Southwick, our food truck or trailer can serve a private party or a team day in a field or garden. Guests order at the hatch, so plan a sheltered spot for the queue in case of rain. Your quote sets out what’s included: the menu, the service time and any extras you choose.
What affects the price in Southwick
The price comes down to a few factors:
- Guest numbers
- Whether you need disposables
- Distance and access to the venue
- Adding food to drinks, or drinks to food
Your choice of food and drinks affects the price, so tell us what you have in mind. Tell us your budget and we will suggest a menu.
Details that help
You don’t need everything decided to ask for a quote, but these help:
- Where the event is
- What you’d like on the menu
- The date and time of the event
- Roughly how many adults and children
We quote for each event separately, based on what you need. To ask for one, send us your details through our quote form.
DIY taco night or a caterer?
Plenty of people try a DIY taco night at home. The usual problems are cold tortillas, running out of a popular filling and a host stuck at the stove. If you’d rather enjoy the party, let us serve.
Doing it yourself saves money, but the host ends up in the kitchen. With a caterer, you get the food and drinks without the work.
What we need at the venue
Many gardens, fields and venues can take a truck or trailer, but a few things matter:
- Space in front of the hatch for guests to queue
- Distance from houses and windows
- Firm, level ground or hardstanding where the truck or trailer can park
If you are unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think.
Popular choices
- Tacos
- Loaded nachos
- Quesadillas

Dietary needs and planning tips
A little planning makes sure everyone can eat. Here’s how:
- Check parking and loading rules for street locations
- Confirm the venue accepts outside caterers and vehicles
- Plan a covered area for guests to eat
- Walk the access route and note narrow gaps
We drive in at the agreed time and park in the planned spot. It helps if someone can meet us on arrival.
Add a build-your-own taco bar beside the truck for a wedding breakfast or lunch.

Food truck hire or something else?
For food that becomes part of the event, hiring a Mexican food truck is worth considering. There’s no one-size-fits-all price for food truck hire. A simple party menu and a full wedding day are very different jobs. Your quote sets it all out.
