Hastings questions
Can you serve near the sea around Hastings?
Yes, with permission for the spot and firm ground for the truck or trailer. Wind, sand and seafront permissions are the main things to plan on the coast.
Which station is closest to Hastings?
Guests can use St Leonards Warrior Square station, about 0.9 miles south of Hastings.
Can you run a bar?
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 do food truck hire for weddings?
The truck or trailer can serve the wedding breakfast, evening food or both. We fit service around your running order. See our food truck wedding guide.
What do you need at the venue?
The main things are access and a level spot: a level spot to park, space for guests to queue and a little room for a serving table. If in doubt, send us a photo of the space and the way in.
What does hiring your food truck involve?
We bring our truck or trailer to your venue, park in the agreed spot and serve your guests from the hatch. Only your guests are served.
Do you do a taco bar?
Yes, a taco bar is one of the ways we serve. Let us know your numbers and space and we’ll recommend how to serve.
Do you cover Hastings?
Yes, we do. We serve at events in Hastings and across East Sussex. Send us your date to check availability.
Why choose food truck hire in Hastings?
Booking several street food trucks means juggling several suppliers. One truck with tacos, burritos and nachos is one booking to manage. 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. Contact us for a quote.

Food truck hire in Hastings: local tips
Hastings is in East Sussex. Wherever your event is in the TN34 area, we can bring the truck or trailer to you, as long as there’s access. Hastings is one of 289 towns and villages in East Sussex where we can bring food truck hire. Our nearest city page is Royal Tunbridge Wells, about 23 miles away.
Roughly 52 miles separate Hastings from central London, close enough for a London team’s away day. Parks such as Alexandra Park typically need permission for vehicles and catering, so a garden or hired venue is often simpler. With the coast within about 2 miles of Hastings, wind is worth planning for. A sheltered, firm spot for the truck or trailer and the queue works best.
For food truck hire in TN34, TN38, TN37 and TN35, we plan around your venue and the route in and your guests. Local streets include London Road, Church Road and Upper Church Road; for an event at home on any of them, tell us where the truck or trailer can park.

Planning the serving area
Every venue is different, so we ask about the space before we confirm. In general, we need:
- The landowner’s go-ahead for the truck or trailer
- A place for guests to eat close to the hatch
- Power and water details confirmed in advance
If you’re unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think before booking.
Can I do a taco night myself?
You can set up your own drinks table, but someone still has to mix, pour and keep an eye on it all evening. See our margarita bar guide.
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 planners, venues and organisers
If you are planning an event on someone’s behalf, whether you are a planner, an office manager or an event organiser, we will work directly with you and the venue. It keeps things simple.
Events in public spaces, like parks, usually need permission. We can send what the landowner or council needs from us.
What’s on the menu
Burritos
A burrito is a full meal in the hand.
Salsas and guacamole
Fresh salsas and guacamole, made for your event.
What food truck hire costs
Two events with the same number of guests can cost different amounts, because of:
- How many staff you need
- Plates, napkins and cutlery
- The number of people
- Whether you add a drinks bar or food
Extra dishes, drinks and longer service are priced on request, so you choose what goes in.
Details that help
A few details help us give you an accurate quote. Here’s what’s useful:
- How we drive in and where we can park
- Roughly how many adults and children
- Diets and allergies you know about
- The venue or postcode
Every event is quoted individually, based on what you need. For a quote, drop us a line using the enquiry form.
How it works
We take care of everything you’ve booked, from set-up to service, so you can enjoy your event. By late September, it is dark in Hastings at around 7:00pm, so evening service from the truck may run past dusk. In late May, daylight lasts until about 8:45pm.
- Ask us whether your date is available.
- We agree a hatch menu and send a quote.
- The spot and the way in are agreed in advance.
- We drive in, open the hatch and serve your guests.
- We pack down and drive away when service ends.
Preparing for the day
- Ask the venue about power and water
- Have a marquee or gazebo ready in case of rain
- Name one person we can ask on the day
