Your questions about food truck hire in West Blatchington
Could you serve our guests after a service at St Peter's Church?
Yes. The church itself isn’t where we’d set up, but a hall, field or garden close by with room for the truck or trailer can work well. Let us know the reception address and we will check the access.
Could you serve in Hove Park?
Only if the landowner, often the council, allows it. Ask them first, and we’ll help with the information they need from us.
Do you cook on site?
Food is cooked to order in our truck or trailer, or served from a build-your-own taco bar. Fillings are slow-cooked beforehand and finished on site.
Are plates and napkins included?
Ask us when you enquire. Tell us what your venue provides, and we will set out plates, napkins and cutlery in your quote.
Can guests build their own tacos?
Yes. A build-your-own taco bar can be served from the truck or a serving station, with fillings, salsas and toppings to choose from.
What do you need at the venue?
Tell us where you’d like the truck, and we will check the access. There’s more in our space and power guide.
Do you give allergen information?
Our menus are planned with allergies in mind, nut allergies included, with allergen information for every dish. We keep options separate, but we can’t promise anything is completely allergen-free. If a guest has a severe allergy, please talk to us before the event.
What if the weather’s bad?
Rain does not usually stop service from the truck or trailer. Plan cover for guests, such as a marquee or gazebo, and let us know if the ground gets soft after heavy rain.
How the day works
We work to your timings. If things run behind, let us know and we will adjust where we can. A Christmas party in West Blatchington with a hired food truck will be in the dark from about 3:55pm, so choose a well-lit spot for the truck or trailer. In late June, it stays light until about 9:20pm.
- Send us your date, the address, a headcount and dietary needs.
- We suggest a menu for the hatch and quote for it.
- Where the truck or trailer will stand, the route in, and power and water are all agreed in advance.
- Your guests order at the hatch and we serve hot food at the agreed times.
