Food truck hire in West Grinstead, served fresh
A hired food truck works for weddings, birthdays and staff days, and any gathering where guests want hot food without a sit-down meal. On the menu are burritos, tacos from the hatch and loaded nachos, which works well for leaving dos and retirements and end-of-year celebrations.
For a rural spot like West Grinstead, food truck hire needs a little planning: the gate, the ground and the distance from the lane. We confirm power and water arrangements with you. Everything is prepared fresh for your event and served from our truck or trailer, so guests get it at its best.

Your questions about food truck hire in West Grinstead
Could we book your food truck for a private event in West Grinstead?
Yes, as long as we’re available on the date and can get the truck or trailer in. Tell us about the lane, gates, ground and parking.
We’re having a ceremony at Shrine Church of Our Lady of Consolation and St Francis: can you cater afterwards?
Yes, at a garden, field or venue nearby where the truck or trailer can park. We’d serve at the reception venue rather than at the church itself. Send us the reception address.
How much is food truck hire?
There’s no fixed price list, as every booking is different. Send your details and you will get a quote. See the Mexican catering cost guide for background.
Do you have options for kids?
Yes. Mild dishes, quesadillas and nachos can be part of the menu. Tell us how many children are coming.
Is the truck suitable for a large group?
Hiring the truck or trailer typically suits around 50 to 400 guests. Smaller gatherings are looked at case by case.
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.
Can you plan for allergies?
Yes, and it helps to hear about allergies when you book. Under UK rules, caterers must give information on 14 allergens, and we give it for every dish (Food Standards Agency guidance). For severe allergies, please talk to us first.
Do you provide plates and napkins?
Ask us when you enquire. Tell us what your venue provides, and we will set out plates, napkins and cutlery in your quote.
Organising for someone else?
Wedding planners and venue coordinators are welcome to contact us directly, and we will keep you updated on timings and set-up.
If you’re planning an event on someone’s behalf, whether you are a planner, an office manager or an event organiser, we’ll work directly with you and the venue. It saves passing messages back and forth.
Who books food truck hire in West Grinstead?
Food comes from the hatch hot, one order at a time, rather than waiting under foil.
We can help if you’re planning any of the following:
- Leaving parties
- Winter staff parties
- Engagements and anniversaries
- Staff appreciation days
Roughly 37 miles separate West Grinstead from central London, close enough for a London team’s away day.
Comparing caterers
- Payment terms and deposit
- Exactly what’s included in the price
- How each diet is kept separate
- The caterer’s food hygiene rating
Space, access and the venue
Everything is served from our food truck or trailer, so the spot needs a little planning. Here’s what we look for:
- A place for guests to eat close to the hatch
- Enough width and height on the route in
- A clear area for a queue at the hatch
If you’re unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think.
Catering for every guest
Dietary needs are easy to plan for with a little notice. Our advice:
- Have shelter ready in case of rain
- Flag any coeliac guests
- Ask the venue about catering vehicles before booking
- Tell us when guests should eat
The hatch opens at the time you choose, and we cook each order as it comes.
Ask us about evening food later on.
Prices and what affects them
The same guest numbers can mean different prices, because of:
- Whether you need disposables
- Parking and the route in
- Your choice of food and drinks
- Serving staff
Pricing depends on the event. A short lunch service for a team is a different job from a full wedding day. Contact us for a quote.
What to tell us
For a quote, it helps to have:
- Your date and when you want service to start
- A picture of the space, if it is a garden or field
- The venue or postcode
- Gate widths, slopes and the ground
A detailed enquiry gets a more accurate quote: venue, timings, menu ideas and access. When you’re ready, drop us a line using the enquiry form.
