Catering for every guest
A little planning makes sure everyone can eat. Try these:
- Look into parking permissions if the truck can’t go off-road
- Have shelter ready in case of rain
- Confirm allergies with us in writing
- Add a dietary question to the invitation
Wet weather does not close the hatch, though a marquee or gazebo helps guests stay dry.
A taco-bar station can sit next to the truck.
Questions from Southwick
Could you come to a seaside event near Southwick?
We can, given firm ground and the landowner’s permission. Beaches and promenades normally need the council’s agreement, so check that first.
Can you cater a reception after a service at St Michael and All Angels Church?
Yes. The church itself is not where we’d set up, but a hall, field or garden close by with room for the truck or trailer can work well. Let us know the reception address and we will check the access.
Do you cater for dietary needs?
Diets are planned with you in advance, but we can’t promise an allergen-free kitchen. Guests with severe allergies should talk to us first.
Can we have a build-your-own taco bar?
Yes, a taco bar is one of our options. Tell us about your space and numbers and we’ll suggest the best set-up.
Do you come to Southwick?
Yes, we do. Southwick is one of the places we cover. Send us your date to check availability.
Is the food made fresh?
Food is cooked to order in our truck or trailer, or served from a build-your-own taco bar. Fillings are slow-cooked beforehand and finished on site.
Can we hire the truck for our wedding?
A food truck suits a relaxed wedding well. We’ll check access and timings with your venue.
What do you need at the venue?
Level, firm ground or hardstanding, access wide and high enough to drive in, and the venue’s permission. Power and water are confirmed with each booking.
Popular choices
Burritos
A burrito is a full meal in the hand.
