Food truck hire in Upperton, from our truck or trailer
Food truck hire means our food 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. For staff appreciation days and back-garden parties, we can serve tacos from the hatch, fresh salsas and guacamole and quesadillas and more.
For a private or work event near Upperton, our food truck or trailer brings its own kitchen; all we need is a level spot, a way in and permission. Guests are served from our truck or trailer, or from a serving table nearby, and we plan service so the queue keeps moving.

How the day works
We work to your timings. If speeches run late or the photos take longer, tell us and we will adjust the start of service where we can. By late September, it is dark in Upperton at around 7:00pm, so evening service from the truck may run past dusk. In late May, daylight lasts until about 8:50pm.
- Share your plans for the event.
- 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
- Check gates and access routes are wide and high enough
- Have a marquee or gazebo ready in case of rain

What affects the price in Upperton
The price comes down to a few factors:
- Travel, parking and access

- Guest numbers
- Whether you need disposables
Comparing caterers? Look at what each quote includes: service time, staff, plates and napkins, travel and VAT. Contact us for a quote and we will set out what’s included.
Getting an accurate quote
Good planning starts with a few facts. Try to include:
- Diets and allergies you know about
- The venue or postcode
- What you’d like on the menu
- The date and rough timings
A detailed enquiry gets a more accurate quote: venue, timings, menu ideas and access. To send your details, send a quick message through our quote form.
What we need at the venue
The route in matters as much as the spot itself. We need:
- Any parking or loading permission needed for street locations
- A place for guests to eat close to the hatch
- A clear area for a queue at the hatch
Not sure about your space? Send us a photo and we’ll tell you honestly.
Comparing your options
Hiring a food truck is different from finding one at a festival. At public events, anyone can buy; when you hire us, we serve only your guests, on your timings. There is no one-size-fits-all price for food truck hire. A short lunch service for a team is a different job from a full wedding day. Your quote sets it all out.
Why us?
- Menus chosen with you
- Menus for gluten-free, dairy-free, vegetarian and vegan guests
- Fast service, even with a queue
- A clear quote

Your questions about food truck hire in Upperton
What’s the nearest station to Upperton for guests?
Eastbourne station, in Upperton itself.
Can you serve near the sea around Upperton?
We can, given firm ground and the landowner’s permission. Beaches and promenades usually need the council’s agreement, so check that first.
What about power on site?
That depends on the set-up, so we confirm power and water arrangements with each booking. Let us know whether there’s a supply near where we’ll park.
What about vegan and gluten-free guests?
Diets are planned with you in advance, though we can’t guarantee there are no traces of any allergen. Anyone with a severe allergy should contact us before the event.
Do you have gluten-free options?
Yes, gluten-free options are available, using corn tortillas. Tell us about any coeliac guests before the event so we can explain how we prepare their food.
How much is a food truck for an event?
The price depends on numbers, menu, service time and where your event is. Contact us for a quote.
Do you provide drinks?
Yes, we do. Our drinks bar can be booked on its own or with food. We will check the licensing for alcohol with you.
Is private hire the same as trading at a festival?
A private hire is booked and quoted for you, so we don’t serve passers-by. Organisers wanting us to trade at their event can see our festival page.
