Food truck hire in Telscombe
About our food truck hire in Telscombe
A hired food truck works for weddings, birthdays and staff days. At staff appreciation days and weddings, we can serve loaded nachos, vegan tacos and burrito bowls.
In and around Telscombe, our food truck or trailer can work at home, in a field or at a hall. Narrow roads and soft ground are fine if we know about them. You can book food, drinks or both, so one caterer can cover more of the day.

How the day works
When we arrive, we park the truck or trailer in the agreed spot and set up. Service starts at the time we have agreed, planned around your event. Late-September events in Telscombe see sunset at about 7:05pm, so a later service will need some lighting. A late-May event keeps its light until roughly 8:50pm.
- Ask us whether your date is available.
- We agree a hatch menu and send a quote.
- We confirm the parking spot and the route in.
- On the day, guests order at the hatch and we cook to order.
- We pack down and drive away when service ends.

What food truck hire costs
Each event is quoted on its own, and the price depends on a few things:
- The number of people
- Timings and hours
- Staff for serving and the bar
- Food, drinks or both
Pricing depends on the event. A simple party menu and a full wedding day are very different jobs. Your quote sets it all out.
What we need to know
Here’s what makes a quick, accurate quote possible:
- The address or venue name
- Vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free, dairy-free and allergy numbers
- A picture of where we’d park
- How we drive in and where we can park
Not sure what you need yet? That is fine: tell us about the occasion and the guests, and we will make suggestions. When you are ready, tell us about it on our contact page.
Telscombe questions
How far is Telscombe from central London?
Roughly 48 miles from the centre of London, and well within our area.
Could you serve our guests after a service at The Parish Church of St Lawrence?
Yes, at a garden, field or venue nearby where the truck or trailer can park. Service would be at the reception venue, not the church. Tell us where the reception will be.
Do you bring plates and cutlery?
We confirm that with your quote. Tell us whether your venue has crockery or you’d prefer disposables and we’ll talk it through.
What if the weather’s bad?
We can serve from the hatch in the rain. It’s worth planning a covered area for guests, and let us know if the ground gets soft after heavy rain.
Where do you cater?
We cater across London and the South East, including East Sussex. See all areas.
Can you cater for vegetarians and vegans?
Yes, they’re part of the planning from the start. Tell us your numbers when you ask for a quote, and we will keep their options separate.
Do you need power and water?
It depends on the event and the set-up, so we confirm power and water arrangements with each booking. Tell us what’s available at your venue.
Do you provide allergen information for each dish?
Yes. Tell us about allergies when you book. UK law requires caterers to provide information on 14 allergens, and we give it for every dish (Food Standards Agency guidance). For severe allergies, please talk to us first.
DIY taco night versus a caterer
Not sure whether to do it yourself or book a caterer? Consider your numbers, your guests’ diets and your own time. Ask us for a quote and compare.
You can set up your own drinks table, but someone still has to mix, pour and keep an eye on it all evening. See our margarita bar guide.
