Food truck hire for your event in Winchelsea
Everyone orders at the hatch and gets food cooked to order. It is simple, quick and sociable for guests and hosts. It works well for wedding receptions and big birthdays, serving loaded nachos, quesadillas and fresh salsas and guacamole.
For a rural spot like Winchelsea, 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. Food and drinks can be booked together or separately, so one caterer can cover more of the day.

DIY taco night or a caterer?
You can set up your own drinks table, but someone has to serve all evening. See our margarita bar guide.
For a small group, a taco night at home can work well. For larger numbers, mixed diets or a wedding, a caterer takes the pressure off, with allergen information for every dish.
Catering for every guest
Every guest is catered for, vegan, vegetarian, dairy-free and gluten-free included. To make it work smoothly:
- Ask about parking rules if we’ll be on a road
- Measure gates and look for low branches on the way in
- Count children separately
- Ask guests with severe allergies to speak to us beforehand
We arrive in the agreed window and park where we’ve arranged. It helps if someone can meet us on arrival.
Tell us what serveware you need and we will confirm the options in your quote.

Space, access and the venue
Many gardens, fields and venues can take a truck or trailer, but a few things matter:
- A place for guests to eat close to the hatch
- A way in wide and high enough for the vehicle
- Firm, level ground or hardstanding where the truck or trailer can park
Not sure about your space? Send us a picture and we’ll tell you honestly.
Working with your venue
Planners and coordinators can contact us directly, and we will keep everyone informed on the day.
Events in public spaces, like parks, typically need permission. We can send what the landowner or council needs from us.
Winchelsea: your questions answered
Which station is closest to Winchelsea?
Winchelsea station, about 0.7 miles north-west of the centre.
Can you cater a reception after a service at The Parish Church of St Thomas the Martyr?
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’ll check the access.
When should we book?
As early as you can, especially for summer weekends. Even if it’s short notice, it is worth asking.
Do you give allergen information?
Our menus are planned with allergies in mind, nut allergies included, and give allergen information for every dish. We plan carefully and keep options separate, though we can’t promise a dish is allergen-free. If a guest has a severe allergy, please talk to us before the event.
What does hiring your food truck involve?
You hire the truck or trailer for agreed service times. We cook, serve and clear away.
Are plates and napkins included?
That is confirmed with each quote. Tell us whether your venue has crockery or you’d prefer disposables and we will talk it through.
Can we add drinks?
We bring bar staff with the drinks bar and alcohol-free choices. Alcohol needs the right licence, which we’ll check with you.
How many guests can the truck serve?
It depends on the event and how long service runs. Most bookings fall around 50 to 400 guests, so tell us your numbers.
Hiring a food truck in Winchelsea
Winchelsea is about 7 miles north-east of Hastings, in East Sussex. Events in Winchelsea are planned around your venue and timings: a clear quote, agreed timings and fresh service on the day. Winchelsea is one of 289 towns and villages in East Sussex we cover. We cater right across the region, from Winchelsea to Royal Tunbridge Wells (24 miles away).
Colleagues or friends without a car may like to know that Winchelsea station is about 0.7 miles away. When the service is at a church such as The Parish Church of St Thomas the Martyr, the truck would serve at the reception venue rather than at the church. A private event by the sea is within reach, as Winchelsea is within about 3 miles of the coast. Promenades and beaches typically need the council’s agreement for a catering vehicle.
We cover events in every part of the TN36 postcode area. Whether your event is on High Street, Barrack Square and Station Road or a nearby road, we can bring food truck hire there, given access. Neighbouring places where we cater events include Winchelsea Beach (1 mile south-east), Rye (2 miles north-east), Rye Harbour (2 miles north-east), Playden (3 miles north-east) and Rye Foreign (3 miles north).

How the day works
We need a level, firm spot we can drive the truck or trailer onto, and we agree power and water arrangements before the day. Send us a picture of the space if you are unsure. A hired food truck at a summer event in Winchelsea can serve in daylight until about 9:15pm at midsummer, while late September brings sunset forward to around 7:00pm. In December it is dark by about 3:55pm, so the queue by the hatch needs lighting.
- Tell us the date, the location, rough numbers and any diets.
- We check availability and send a menu and a quote for hiring the truck or trailer.
- Before the day, we agree the spot, the way in, power and water.
- On the day we drive in, set up and serve to order from the hatch.
- After service, we close the hatch, pack down and drive away.
Before we arrive
- Give us your final numbers and diets
- Let us know the timings for the day
- Check the venue is happy to have a truck or trailer on site

Why choose food truck hire in Winchelsea?
A private hire is not the same as a festival stall. At a festival we trade to the public; when you hire us, we serve only your guests, on your timings. Catering from a truck or trailer can be a practical alternative to a sit-down meal, as there’s no kitchen to hire. Ask us for a quote.
