Food truck hire in Sweethaws
Food truck hire in Sweethaws, from our food truck or trailer
The hatch menu is agreed with you: tacos and burritos, with bowls, nachos or quesadillas if you like, with fresh salsas and guacamole. At garden parties and retirement parties, we can serve tacos from the hatch, quesadillas and fresh salsas and guacamole.
In a hamlet or village like Sweethaws, our 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. We plan the timings around your day, so service starts when you want it.

Why choose food truck hire in Sweethaws?
A private hire is not the same as a festival stall. At a festival we trade to the public; a private hire means your guests, your menu and your timings. Your choice of food and drinks affects the price, so tell us what you have in mind. Tell us your budget and we’ll suggest a menu.
What you get with us
- Options for gluten-free, dairy-free, vegetarian and vegan guests
- Quoted for your event
- Access, space and power checked in advance
- Quick, friendly service from the hatch

How the day works
Service is quick and friendly: we serve from the hatch or a serving station, so even a long queue moves. When service ends, we pack down. Late-September events in Sweethaws see sunset at about 7:05pm, so evening service from the truck may run past dusk. A late-May event keeps its light until roughly 8:50pm.
- First come the basics: date, location, numbers and diets.
- We suggest a menu for the hatch and quote for it.
- Before the day, we agree the spot, the way in, power and water.
- On the day we drive in, set up and serve to order from the hatch.
- When service ends, we pack up and leave the spot clear.
Getting ready for the day
- Tell us about narrow gates or low branches
- Give us a contact for the day
- Have level hardstanding or firm ground ready
How to get a price
Each quote is tailored to your event. Tell us your date and guest numbers, and we’ll confirm whether we’re available that day.

Sweethaws questions
What’s the nearest station to Sweethaws for guests?
Crowborough station, about 2.2 miles east of the centre.
Do you come out to small places like Sweethaws?
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.
What do you serve?
We agree a sample menu with each client. Fillings could include chicken tinga, pork carnitas, al pastor-style pork and vegan options like black beans. See our menu for ideas.
How much does food truck hire cost in Sweethaws?
The price depends on numbers, menu, service time and where your event is. Contact us for a quote.
Can you run a bar?
Yes. The drinks bar can be added to food or booked on its own, with alcohol-free options such as aguas frescas. For alcohol, we will go through the licensing with you and your venue.
How is private hire different from festival trading?
At a private hire, we serve your guests and nobody else, on a menu and timings agreed with you. Festival and market trading is open to the public; see our street food catering page.
Do you give allergen information?
Our menus are planned with allergies in mind, nut allergies included, and give 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.
Can you cater for children?
Of course. We can keep dishes mild, and simple options such as quesadillas or nachos can be part of the menu. Tell us how many children are coming.
Prices and what affects them
Two events with the same number of guests can cost different amounts, depending on:
- Parking and the route in
- The length of service
- The menu you choose
- The number of people
Access, parking and the distance to your venue can affect the price, so tell us about the venue when you ask for a quote. Your quote confirms the full price.
