How it works
It’s a relaxed, well-organised set-up. We agree arrival and serving times in advance, set up our truck or trailer, and serve without fuss. By late September, it’s dark in Standen at around 7:00pm, so a later service will need some lighting. In late May, daylight lasts until about 8:50pm.
- Check our availability for your date.
- You get a menu for the hatch and a quote.
- We confirm the parking spot and the route in.
- We drive in, open the hatch and serve your guests.
- We pack down and drive away when service ends.
Getting ready for the day
- Get the venue’s permission for us to park and serve
- Have a marquee or gazebo ready in case of rain
- Let us know the timings for the day
How to get a price

About our food truck hire in Standen
Our truck or trailer is available to hire for events across Standen and nearby. Popular choices include burritos, quesadillas and loaded nachos, and it suits wedding receptions and christenings and family parties.
For a rural spot like Standen, food truck hire needs a little planning: the gate, the ground and the distance from the lane. Power and water may be limited, so we confirm the arrangements before the day. Guests are served from our food truck or trailer, or from a serving table nearby, and we plan service so the queue keeps moving.

Questions from Standen
Do you cater in villages like Standen?
Yes. Villages and hamlets are part of our area, and the main thing is access: tell us about the lane, the gate and the ground.
Can you bring a truck or trailer to venues in the High Weald National Landscape?
We do, where the venue allows a catering vehicle. Lanes can be narrow and ground soft, so tell us how we’d get in.
What about vegan and gluten-free guests?
There are vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and dairy-free options, and corn tortillas suit gluten-free guests. Every dish has allergen information.
How much does food truck hire cost?
There is no fixed price list, as every booking is different. Tell us your plans and we’ll quote for your event. Our food truck hire guide explains what affects the cost.
Do you have options for kids?
Yes. We can keep dishes mild, and simple options such as quesadillas or nachos can be part of the menu. Include children in your numbers.
Is the food very hot?
It’s up to you: we can keep the main dishes mild, with hotter salsas served separately. Read more about how spicy Mexican food is.
Can you plan for allergies?
We plan allergen-aware menus, including for nut allergies, with allergen information for every dish. We plan carefully and keep options separate, though we cannot promise a dish is allergen-free. If a guest has a severe allergy, please talk to us before the event.
Do you have gluten-free options?
Yes, with corn tortillas. Corn is naturally gluten-free, though some sauces and toppings can contain gluten, so we plan gluten-free dishes carefully and give allergen information.
Planning for every diet
Allergies and diets are taken seriously. Help us by following these steps:
- Check gate widths and any height limits
- Plan a covered area for guests to eat
- Ask the venue about catering vehicles before booking
- Agree service times with us
If your timings move, let us know and we’ll adjust service.
Ask about a second service later in the evening, quoted with the main booking.
Planning the serving area
Many gardens, fields and venues can take a truck or trailer, but a few things matter:
- Level, solid ground for the vehicle
- Arrangements for power and water, agreed when you book
- Parking arrangements if we’re not on private land
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and the access, and we’ll advise.

Can I do a taco night myself?

You can set up your own drinks table, but someone has to serve all evening. See our margarita bar guide.
