Step by step
Guests tend to gather around the truck, so we plan a spot with space for people to queue. Rain doesn’t usually stop us serving, though guests will want somewhere covered to stand or sit. In Hastings Old Town, the sun sets at about 9:15pm in late June and about 7:00pm in late September, so summer evening events are normally served in daylight. In December it is dark by about 3:55pm, so winter events need lighting around the truck and the queue.
- Share the date, the venue and how many are coming.
- Together we plan a menu around your guests’ diets.
- We confirm the way in and where we will park.
- Guests order at the hatch or build their own at the taco bar.
- We clear our serving area when everyone is fed.
Preparing for the day
- Get the venue’s permission for us to park and serve
- Measure any gates or arches on the way in
- Ask the venue about power and water

What Mexican catering costs
Every event is priced individually, based on a few main things:
- Parking and the route in
- What’s on the menu
- Timings and hours
- Adding food to drinks, or drinks to food
Larger events can cost less per head, because the set-up is similar for different sizes of event. Tell us your numbers for an accurate price.

We need only a few details to quote: date, location, guest numbers and diets. Contact us for a quote: just send us your details through our quote form.
Where the truck can go in Hastings Old Town
The route in matters as much as the spot itself. We need:
- A clear area in front of the hatch for a queue
- A route in that is wide and tall enough, with soft ground checked in advance
- Agreement from the venue to bring a food truck or trailer on site
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and the access, and we will advise before booking.

Should I do it myself?
A DIY taco night works well for a small group. For larger numbers, mixed diets or a wedding, a caterer takes the pressure off, with allergen information for every dish.
A DIY taco night is possible for a crowd, but it is more work than it looks. There are fillings to slow-cook, tortillas to keep warm and salsas to make. Read our guide to taco bars.
Planning for every diet
We take diets and allergies seriously. Help us by following these steps:
- Let us know if a guest is coeliac
- Put any allergies in writing for us
- Mention any other caterers or courses
- Put guests with severe allergies in touch with us early
When service ends, we pack down and clear our area quietly.
Ask us about plates, cutlery and serving staff and we will set out what we can do in your quote.
