How our food truck hire works in St Leonards
Food truck hire means our truck or trailer is booked for your guests only. It is a private booking, not public trading, so we plan the menu and service times around you. It suits leaving dos and retirements and back-garden parties, with tacos from the hatch, vegan tacos and burrito bowls.
Food truck hire in a town like St Leonards can work at a home with a drive, a hall or club, or a hired venue. All can work, given a way in and level ground. Your quote sets out what’s included: the menu, the service time and any extras you choose.

The menu, item by item
Loaded nachos
Nachos are good for sharing between friends; dairy-free versions can be planned.
Burritos
A burrito is a full meal in the hand and travel well from the hatch.
Should I do it myself?
DIY catering keeps costs down, but the host spends the party serving. Booking a caterer means you can relax with everyone else.
Not sure whether to do it yourself or book a caterer? Think about numbers, diets and how much you want to enjoy the day. Contact us for a quote to compare.
Common questions in St Leonards
Can you cater a reception after a service at St John the Evangelist's Church?
Yes, at a nearby garden, marquee or hall with access for the truck or trailer. We’d serve at the reception venue rather than at the church itself. Send us the reception address.
How far is St Leonards from central London?
Roughly 53 miles from the centre of London, and well within our area.
How is private hire different from festival trading?
Private hire means we serve only your guests, with a menu and timings you agree with us. Festival and market trading is open to the public; see our street food catering page.
What does hiring your food truck involve?
We bring our truck or trailer to your venue, park in the agreed spot and serve your guests from the hatch. It is a private booking for your guests only.
Do you provide allergen information for each dish?
Yes. Tell us about allergies when you book. Under UK rules, caterers must give information on 14 allergens, and we do that for every dish (Food Standards Agency guidance). Anyone with a severe allergy should speak to us before the event.
What access do you need?
A level, firm spot for the truck or trailer, with access wide and high enough to drive in, and the venue’s agreement. Power and water arrangements are confirmed with each booking.
Do you do margaritas?
Yes, we run a Mexican drinks bar, with margaritas, Mexican beer, aguas frescas and soft drinks. Alcohol at an event may need a licence, such as a premises licence or a Temporary Event Notice, so we’ll talk licensing through with you.
Can we have a build-your-own taco bar?
Yes. We can set up a build-your-own taco bar, served from the truck or a serving table, with fillings, salsas, guacamole and toppings. Read our taco bar guide.
St Leonards: parking, access and venues
St Leonards is about 1 mile south-west of Hastings, in East Sussex. We cater events at homes, gardens and venues in St Leonards and nearby villages. St Leonards is one of 289 towns and villages in East Sussex where we can bring food truck hire. We cater right across the region, from St Leonards to Royal Tunbridge Wells (about 23 miles away).
If you’re celebrating after a ceremony at a church like St John the Evangelist's Church, our food truck or trailer can be waiting at the reception spot. By road, St Leonards is on or near the A259 and A2102, which makes it easy for us to reach with the truck or trailer. With the sea within about 2 miles, a hired food truck at a seaside venue is an option. The truck or trailer needs firm ground rather than sand or shingle, and seafront spots typically need permission.
For food truck hire in TN38, TN37 and TN34, we plan around your venue and the route in and your guests. Streets in the area include Sea Road, Fern Road and Dane Road, and an event on any of them can work if the truck or trailer can park nearby. St Leonards is on the A259 and A2102, which makes it straightforward to bring the truck or trailer. If your venue is just outside St Leonards, we also cover Silverhill (1 mile north), Hastings (1 mile north-east), America Ground (1 mile east), Bulverhythe (1 mile west) and Hollington (1 mile north). Within a short drive, we also cover Eastbourne (13 miles south-west), Bexhill-on-Sea (4 miles west), Hailsham (13 miles west), Polegate (13 miles west), Old Town (14 miles south-west) and Heathfield (15 miles north-west). St Leonards is among the bigger towns we cover in East Sussex, with lots of choice for events.
Other landmarks nearby include Priory Meadow Shopping Centre (1.2 miles east) and Conquest Hospital (2.2 miles north). Not far away are Church Wood and Robsack Wood and Senlac Hill.
- Local schools include The St Leonards Academy (0.8 miles west) and University School (0.9 miles east)
- Pubs nearby include Horse And Groom Public House (less than half a mile south-east)
Prices and what affects them
Every event is priced individually, and the price depends on a few things:
- The number of people
- Your choice of food and drinks
- Distance and access to the venue
- Timings and hours
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.
Details that help
We can quote more accurately with a few details. Here’s what to include:
- The address or venue name
- Your menu ideas
- Gate widths, slopes and the ground
- Your date and when you want service to start
Getting a quote is simple: share your date, venue, numbers and diets. We will send you a clear quote.
Planners, venues and businesses
For repeat events, such as annual staff parties or seasonal fairs, let us know your dates early, so we can plan ahead.
If you are booking for a business, tell us what your finance team needs, and we’ll explain how it works. We are happy to liaise with facilities on access and timings.
Occasions we cater for in St Leonards
Nothing is needed from a venue kitchen, so gardens, fields and grounds all become options.
Whatever the occasion, our food truck or trailer can be the centre of it. We are happy to cater:
- Leaving dos and retirements
- Private parties in fields and grounds
- Garden parties
- Launch events
Parks such as Summerfields Wood typically need permission for vehicles and catering, so a garden or hired venue is often simpler.
Before booking anyone
- The wet-weather plan
- Allergen information for each dish
- A clear list of what’s included
- Travel and parking costs
What happens on the day
The truck or trailer tends to draw a crowd, so we plan a spot with space for people to queue. We can serve in the rain, but guests will need somewhere covered. Late-September events in St Leonards see sunset at about 7:00pm, so a later service will need some lighting. In late May, daylight lasts until about 8:45pm.
- Tell us what the event is and who’s coming.
- We suggest fillings and dishes for every diet.
- Power, water and timings are agreed with you or the venue.
- Service runs at the times you choose.
- Once service ends, we tidy up and go.
Before we arrive
- Give us a contact for the day
- Plan a covered area for guests if rain is likely
- Have level hardstanding or firm ground ready
