DIY taco night or a caterer?
For a small group, a taco night at home can work well. For larger numbers, mixed diets or a wedding, a caterer takes the pressure off, and handles allergen information for you.
Plenty of people try a DIY taco night at home. The usual problems are cold tortillas, running out of a popular filling and a host stuck at the stove. If you’d rather be with your guests, we’ll do the serving.
How our food truck hire works in South Street
A hired food truck works for weddings, birthdays and staff days, and any gathering where guests want hot food without a sit-down meal. It suits wedding receptions and anniversary celebrations, serving vegan tacos, fresh salsas and guacamole and loaded nachos.

Common questions in South Street
Could we book your food truck for a private event in South Street?
Yes, depending on the date. For a private or work event in a village or hamlet, the main thing is access: tell us about the lane, the gate and the ground.
Do you cater in the South Downs National Park?
We do, where the venue allows a catering vehicle. Lanes can be narrow and ground soft, so tell us how we’d get in.
Do you take everything away?
We pack down and leave our area tidy. Tell us the venue’s rules on waste and clearing up and we’ll talk it through.
Can we have a build-your-own taco bar?
Yes. We can set up a build-your-own taco bar, served from the truck or a serving table, with fillings, salsas, guacamole and toppings.
Do you have options for kids?
Yes, children are easy to plan for. Let us know numbers and ages, and we will plan the menu with them in mind.

Yes, we do. We serve at events in South Street and across East Sussex. Send us your date to check availability.
Can you do gluten-free food?
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.

It depends on guest numbers, the menu, the length of service and the location. Contact us for a quote.
