Food truck hire for Eastry events
How our food truck hire works in Eastry
Pair the truck with our Mexican drinks bar for margaritas, Mexican beer and aguas frescas, with licensing checked with you. A build-your-own taco bar can sit beside the truck too. For launch events and engagement parties, we can serve tacos from the hatch, vegan tacos and fresh salsas and guacamole for your guests.
For a private or work event near Eastry, our food truck or trailer brings its own kitchen; all we need is a level spot, a way in and permission. You can book food, drinks or both, so one caterer can cover more of the day.
Dietary needs and planning tips
Dietary needs are easy to plan for with a little notice. We suggest:
- Have shelter ready in case of rain
- Check parking and loading rules for street locations
- Measure gates and look for low branches on the way in
- Email us any allergies
Wet weather does not close the hatch, but guests will want a covered area to eat.
Nachos for sharing at the start are a good way to begin.
How the day works
Here’s how the day typically runs: we arrive and set up, service opens at the agreed time, and we serve your guests fresh for the agreed time. December events in Eastry lose the light at about 3:50pm, so choose a well-lit spot for the truck or trailer. At midsummer, sunset is around 9:15pm.
- Tell us what the event is and who’s coming.
- We suggest fillings and dishes for every diet.
- Power, water and timings are agreed with you or the venue.
- Service runs at the times you choose.
- When everyone is fed, we clear our area.
How to prepare
- Measure any gates or arches on the way in
- Check the venue is happy to have a truck or trailer on site
- Arrange somewhere covered for guests to eat

DIY taco night or a caterer?
You can host your own taco night for a crowd, but it takes planning. Fillings need slow cooking, tortillas need warming as you go, and salsas need making. Our taco bar guide explains how.
A DIY taco night works well for a small group. For big numbers or lots of diets, a caterer makes life easier, and handles allergen information for you.

FAQs for Eastry
Could you come to a seaside event near Eastry?
We can, given firm ground and the landowner’s permission. Beaches and promenades normally need the council’s agreement, so check that first.
Can you cater a reception after a service at Church of St Mary the Virgin?
Yes. The church itself is not 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 will check the access.
Can guests build their own tacos?
We can. A build-your-own taco bar can be served from the truck or a serving station, with fillings, salsas, guacamole and toppings.
Do you have gluten-free options?
We can, using corn tortillas. Corn is naturally gluten-free, though some sauces and toppings can contain gluten, so we check every dish and give allergen information.
How far ahead should we book?
The sooner the better. Popular dates go first, so it pays to ask early.
What do you serve?
Mexican street food and drinks: tacos and build-your-own taco bars, burritos, burrito bowls, nachos and quesadillas, with salsas, guacamole and toppings. A drinks bar is available too, with margaritas, Mexican beer and aguas frescas.
Do you do margaritas?
Yes. The drinks bar can be added to food or booked on its own, with alcohol-free options such as aguas frescas. We will check the licensing for alcohol with you.
Do you come to Eastry?
We do. Eastry is one of the places we cover. Send us your date to check availability.
