About our food truck hire in Coleman's Hatch
The hatch menu is agreed with you: tacos and burritos, with bowls, nachos or quesadillas if you like, with fresh salsas and guacamole. It works well for leaving parties and staff appreciation days, with burrito bowls, vegan tacos and loaded nachos.
In a rural place like Coleman's Hatch, access is the main thing to plan for a hired truck: the gate, the ground and the distance from the lane. Power and water may be limited, so we confirm the arrangements before the day. We will check the space, access and power with you before the day, so set-up goes smoothly.

Where the truck can go in Coleman's Hatch
The route in matters as much as the spot itself. We need:
- Firm, level ground or hardstanding where the truck or trailer can park
- Power and water, confirmed with each booking
- A parking suspension, where a street spot is needed
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and the access, and we’ll advise.
Diets, allergies and planning
Good planning keeps every guest safe and happy. Try these:
- Have shelter ready in case of rain
- Measure gates and look for low branches on the way in
- Put anyone with a severe allergy in touch with us
- Tell us when guests should eat
The hatch opens at the time you choose, and we cook each order as it comes.
Quesadillas make an easy option for children.
How it compares
A private hire is not the same as a festival stall. At a festival we trade to the public; a private hire means your guests, your menu and your timings. Access and travel can make a difference to the cost, so it helps to tell us about your venue. The full price is confirmed in your quote.
Why book with us
- A menu built around your guests
- Set-up planned with you and your venue
- Catering across East Sussex, including Coleman's Hatch
- Fast service, even with a queue

The process
We work to your timings. If things run behind, tell us and we’ll adjust the start of service where we can. At midsummer, it stays light in Coleman's Hatch until about 9:20pm, while late September brings sunset forward to around 7:05pm. In December it is dark by about 3:55pm, so the queue by the hatch needs lighting.
- Tell us what the event is and who’s coming.
- Together we plan dishes that cover your guests’ diets.
- We check power, water and timings with the venue.
- The truck serves at the agreed times.
- Once service ends, we tidy up and go.
Preparing for the day
- Plan a covered area for guests if rain is likely
- Give us your final numbers and diets
- Confirm the venue allows outside caterers

Your questions about food truck hire in Coleman's Hatch
Which station should guests use for Coleman's Hatch?
The closest is East Grinstead station, roughly 4.6 miles away.
Can you cater a reception after a service at Holy Trinity Church?
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. Tell us where the reception will be.
Do you have options for kids?
Of course. Mild dishes, quesadillas and nachos can be part of the menu. Tell us how many children are coming.
Can you keep it mild?
That is your choice: we can keep it mild and put the hotter salsas on the side. Read more about how spicy Mexican food is.
Do you provide drinks?
Yes, we do. Our drinks bar can be booked on its own or with food. For alcohol, we’ll talk licensing through with you and your venue.
Can we add drinks?
We bring bar staff with the drinks bar and alcohol-free choices. We will talk through licensing first.
Do you provide allergen information for each dish?
Yes. Tell us about allergies when you book. Under UK rules, caterers must give information on 14 allergens, and we do that for every dish (Food Standards Agency guidance). Anyone with a severe allergy should speak to us before the event.
Can you do dairy-free food?
Yes. Dairy-free options are part of our menus.
For planners, venues and organisers
If you run the same event each year, tell us your dates early, so we can plan ahead.
Events in public spaces, like parks, usually need permission. We can send what the landowner or council needs from us.
DIY taco night or a caterer?
You can host your own taco night for a crowd, but it takes planning. There are fillings to slow-cook, tortillas to keep warm and salsas to make. Our taco bar guide explains how.
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, and handles allergen information for you.
