About our food truck hire in Vines Cross
A hired food truck works for weddings, birthdays and staff days, and any gathering where guests want hot food without a sit-down meal. It works well for summer parties at home and christenings and family parties, with vegan tacos, loaded nachos and quesadillas.
In a rural place like Vines Cross, access is the main thing to plan for a hired truck: gate widths, soft ground and the route from the road all matter. We confirm power and water arrangements with you. We plan the timings around your day, whether that’s speeches, a lunch break or a festival schedule.

- Timings and hours
- The menu you choose
Extra dishes, drinks and longer service are priced on request, so you can choose what you need.

How the day works

A hired food truck at a summer event in Vines Cross can serve in daylight until about 9:15pm at midsummer, while late September brings sunset forward to around 7:00pm. For winter events, dark by about 3:55pm, plan lighting where guests queue at the hatch.
- First come the basics: date, location, numbers and diets.
- We check availability and send a menu and a quote for hiring the truck or trailer.

If you are booking for a business, tell us what your finance team needs, and we will explain how it works. We are happy to liaise with facilities on access and timings.
Should I do it myself?
A DIY taco night works well for a small group. For larger numbers, mixed diets or a wedding, a caterer takes the pressure off, with allergen information for every dish.
You can host your own taco night for a crowd, but it takes planning. Fillings need slow cooking, tortillas need warming as you go, and salsas need making. Our taco bar guide explains how.

Your questions about food truck hire in Vines Cross
Can we hire your food truck for a private party in Vines Cross?
Yes, depending on the date. For a private or work event in a village or hamlet, 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?
Yes. Some venues there have rules about vehicles, ground and catering, so check with yours. Tell us about narrow lanes and soft ground.
