Prices and what affects them
Two events with the same number of guests can cost different amounts, depending on:
- Parking and the route in
- How many staff you need
- Whether you add a drinks bar or food
- The number of people
Catering from a truck or trailer can be a practical alternative to a sit-down meal, because it needs no venue kitchen. Ask us for a quote.

Other catering in Hastings Old Town
Should I do it myself?
Plenty of people try a DIY taco night at home. 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.
DIY catering keeps costs down, but the host spends the party serving. Booking a caterer means you can relax with everyone else.
