About our food truck hire in Watermill
Pair the truck with our Mexican drinks bar for margaritas, Mexican beer and aguas frescas, with licensing checked with you. A build-your-own taco bar can sit beside the truck too. For birthday parties and christenings and family parties, we can serve loaded nachos, burritos and fresh salsas and guacamole.
Somewhere as small as Watermill, food truck hire can mean a garden, a field or a barn. Tell us about narrow lanes, gates and long drives. Firm ground matters, especially after rain. We arrive ready to serve, and clear our own area when service is finished.

About the menu
Loaded nachos
Nachos are good for sharing between friends.
Tacos from the hatch
Warm tortillas filled to order and finished with salsa, with fillings such as carnitas, chicken tinga or spiced mushroom.
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. Ask us for a quote and compare.
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 enjoy the party, let us serve.
Food truck hire or something else?
Hog roasts are popular with meat eaters, but a Mexican menu covers vegan, gluten-free and dairy-free guests more easily. The cost per head can fall as numbers rise, because the set-up is similar for different sizes of event. Tell us your numbers for an accurate price.
Why us?
- Set-up planned with you and your venue
- Fast service, even with a queue
- A quote that sets out what’s included
- Catering across East Sussex, including Watermill
See our prices page and the cost guide.
Diets, allergies and planning
Good planning keeps every guest safe and happy. Try these:
- Check early that your venue allows food trucks
- Ask guests about dietary needs when they reply
- Plan a covered area for guests to eat
- Put anyone with a severe allergy in touch with us
If your timings move, let us know, and we will work around it.
Ask about a second service later in the evening.
How the day works
Expect a friendly, organised team. We agree arrival and serving times in advance, set up our food truck or trailer, and get on with serving. December events in Watermill lose the light at about 3:55pm, so choose a well-lit spot for the truck or trailer. At midsummer, sunset is around 9:15pm.
- First come the basics: date, location, numbers and diets.
- We check availability and send a menu and a quote for hiring the truck or trailer.
- Before the day, we agree the spot, the way in, power and water.
- 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.
Preparing for the day
- Give us a contact for the day
- Check the venue is happy to have a truck or trailer on site
- Check gates and access routes are wide and high enough

Prices and what affects them
Two events with the same number of guests can cost different amounts, because of:
- Your choice of food and drinks
- Whether you add a drinks bar or food
- Plates, napkins and cutlery
- Parking and the route in
Access, parking and the distance to your venue can affect the price, so tell us about the venue when you ask for a quote. Your quote confirms the full price.
What we need to know
We can quote more accurately with a few details. Here’s what’s useful:
- Roughly how many adults and children
- The venue or postcode
- Vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free, dairy-free and allergy numbers
- A picture of the space, if it’s a garden or field
Getting a quote is simple: share your date, venue, numbers and diets. We will send you a clear quote.
Before you choose a spot
Everything is served from our food truck or trailer, so where we park matters. Here’s what we look for:
- A spot away from neighbours
- Firm, level ground or hardstanding where the truck or trailer can park
- Agreement from the venue to bring in a catering vehicle
Not sure about your space? Send us a picture and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.
For planners, venues and organisers
Events in public spaces, like parks, normally need permission. We can send what the landowner or council needs from us.
Many venues have rules for outside caterers: vehicle access, arrival times and documents. Send us your venue’s requirements and we’ll follow them.
