In a town like Hailsham, a hired food truck can park on a drive, in a club or hall car park, or at a hired venue. Any of them can work if the truck or trailer can get in and park on level ground. You can book food, drinks or both, so the food and drinks can come from one caterer.

DIY taco night versus a caterer
Not sure whether to do it yourself or book a caterer? Consider your numbers, your guests’ diets and your own time. Contact us for a quote to compare.
Some hosts like to do it themselves. Common snags are cold tortillas, uneven quantities and the host missing the party. If you’d rather be with your guests, we’ll do the serving.
Working with your venue
For big numbers, we plan service to keep queues short, so everyone is served promptly. Tell us how long you have for food and drinks.
For repeat events, such as annual staff parties or seasonal fairs, let us know your dates early, so we can check the date.
What happens on the day
Service is quick and friendly: we serve from the hatch or a serving station, so even a long queue moves. When service ends, we pack down. December events in Hailsham lose the light at about 3:55pm, so ask the venue about outdoor lighting where we will park. At midsummer, sunset is around 9:15pm.
- Send us your date, the address, a headcount and dietary needs.
- 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.
- Your guests order at the hatch and we serve hot food at the agreed times.
- When service ends, we pack up and leave the spot clear.
How to prepare
