Planning an event for a club, school or charity in Herstmonceux? Service from a truck or trailer is quick, even for a crowd, and the menu can suit most diets. Give us the details and we’ll suggest a plan.

Food truck hire for your event in Herstmonceux
Everyone orders at the hatch and gets food cooked to order. It’s simple, quick and sociable for guests and hosts. It works well for milestone birthdays and garden parties, serving tacos from the hatch, burrito bowls and loaded nachos.
In a hamlet or village like Herstmonceux, our food truck or trailer can serve a private party or a team day in a field or garden. Guests queue at the hatch, so have some cover ready in case of rain. We turn up ready to serve, and tidy our own area afterwards.

Your questions about food truck hire in Herstmonceux
Can you cater a reception after a service at Herstmonceux Free Church?
Yes. The church itself isn’t 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’ll check the access.
Do you hire out your food truck for parties in places like Herstmonceux?
Yes, as long as we’re available on the date and can get the truck or trailer in. Let us know about access and where we’d park.
Which areas do you serve?
London and South East England: Greater London, Kent, Surrey, East and West Sussex, Hampshire, the Isle of Wight, Berkshire, Buckinghamshire, Milton Keynes and Oxfordshire.
What do you need at the venue?
Tell us where you’d like the truck, and we’ll check it works. Our guide to space and power has more.
Do you provide allergen information for each dish?
We plan allergen-aware menus, including for nut allergies, and give allergen information for every dish. We keep options separate, but we can’t promise anything is completely allergen-free. Guests with severe allergies should talk to us before the event.
What food and drinks do you offer?
Mexican street food: tacos, taco bars, burritos, bowls, nachos and quesadillas, plus salsas, guacamole and toppings. We also run a Mexican drinks bar, with margaritas, Mexican beer and aguas frescas.
Who clears up?
Our area is packed away and left tidy. Tell us the venue’s rules on waste and clearing up and we will confirm the arrangements with your quote.
Are plates and napkins included?
We confirm that with your quote. Tell us whether your venue has crockery or you’d prefer disposables and we will talk it through.
How it works
The truck or trailer tends to draw a crowd, so we will help you choose a spot with room for a queue. We can serve in the rain, though guests will want somewhere covered to stand or sit. Late-September events in Herstmonceux see sunset at about 7:00pm, so evening service from the truck may run past dusk. A late-May event keeps its light until roughly 8:50pm.
- 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.
- Once service ends, we tidy up and go.
Before we arrive
- Have a marquee or gazebo ready in case of rain
- Give us your final numbers and diets
- Confirm the venue allows outside caterers

Should I do it myself?
You can set up your own drinks table, but someone has to serve all evening. See our margarita bar guide.
A DIY taco night is possible for a crowd, but it’s more work than it looks. Fillings need slow cooking, tortillas need warming as you go, and salsas need making. Read our guide to taco bars.
Comparing your options
Most guests have seen a burger van. Tacos and burritos from a truck feel different while staying easy to eat. The cost per head can fall as numbers rise, since the set-up is much the same either way. Tell us your numbers for an accurate price.
