Questions from Withdean
Can you bring your truck or trailer to Withdean Park?
It depends on the park’s owner, who would need to agree to a catering vehicle on site. Ask them first; if they say yes, we will send what they need from us.
Do you cater at coastal events near Withdean?
We can, given firm ground and the landowner’s permission. Beaches and promenades usually need the council’s agreement, so check that first.
Which areas do you serve?
We cover London and the South East, including Brighton and Hove. See all areas.
When should we book?
As soon as you have a date. Popular dates go first, so it pays to ask early.
Can you do gluten-free food?
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 does food truck hire work?
Our truck or trailer comes to your venue and serves your guests from the hatch. It’s a private booking for your guests only.

Truck and trailer service usually suits around 50 to 400 guests. Festivals can be bigger, and smaller parties are quoted case by case. Send us your numbers and we will advise.
What does it cost to hire the truck?

Food truck hire or something else?

- You get a hatch menu and a quote for the hire.
- We confirm the parking spot, access, power and water with you or the venue.
