How the day works
It’s a relaxed, well-organised set-up. We agree arrival and serving times in advance, set up our food truck or trailer, and get on with serving. A hired food truck at a summer event in Alciston can serve in daylight until about 9:15pm at midsummer, while late September brings sunset forward to around 7:05pm. 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 suggest a menu for the hatch and quote for it.
- We confirm the parking spot, access, power and water with you or the venue.
- 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
- Tell us when you want service to start
- Get the venue’s permission for us to park and serve
- Ask the venue about power and water
How to get a price
Getting a quote is simple: share your date, venue, numbers and diets. We will send you a clear quote.

Hiring our taco truck near Alciston
Alciston is about 4 miles north of Seaford, in East Sussex.

We cover all 289 towns and villages across East Sussex. Our nearest city page is Brighton, about 12 miles away.
After a service at a church such as The Parish Church, a hired food truck at a garden, field or venue nearby can feed everyone.

Dietary needs and planning tips
A Mexican menu is easy to plan for mixed diets, because options can be kept separate. Here are a few tips for planning:
- Collect diets and allergies with your RSVPs
- Flag any coeliac guests
- Ask guests with severe allergies to speak to us beforehand
- Tell us how many children are coming
We drive in at the agreed time and park in the planned spot. Someone on site to meet us makes it smoother.
Nachos for sharing at the start.
How we price food truck hire
These are the factors that matter most:
- Distance and access to the venue
- Plates, napkins and cutlery
- How long we’re needed on site
- Your choice of food and drinks
There’s no one-size-fits-all price for food truck hire. A simple party menu and a full wedding day are very different jobs. Your quote sets it all out.
Getting an accurate quote
Good planning starts with a few facts. Please include:
- The date and time of the event
- Where the event is
- How we drive in and where we can park
- Approximate guest numbers, including children
Send us the date, your venue or BN26 postcode and guest numbers, along with any dietary needs, and you will get menu ideas and a price. To get started, drop us a line using the enquiry form.
