How it works
From set-up to service, we look after everything you’ve booked from us, so you can spend time with your guests. In St Leonards, 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 check the route in and where the truck or trailer will stand.
- Food is served from the hatch or a taco-bar table.
- After the last serving, we clear our area.
Getting ready for the day
- Have level hardstanding or firm ground ready
- Tell us what power and water the site has
- Send us final numbers and dietary needs in good time

Taco catering in St Leonards: local tips
St Leonards is about 1 mile south-west of Hastings, in East Sussex. Anywhere in TN38, we can bring the truck or trailer to you, as long as there is access.

A gathering in Summerfields Wood would need the park owner’s say-so for any catering vehicle, and that is worth sorting out early. For a christening or wedding at a church such as St John the Evangelist's Church, a food truck at a garden or venue nearby is an easy way to feed everyone. With the sea within about 2 miles, a beach-side event might appeal. Promenades and beaches normally need permission, and the truck or trailer has to park on firm ground, not sand.
For Mexican catering in TN38, TN37 and TN34, we plan around your venue and the route in and your guests. Streets in the area include Sea Road, Fern Road and Dane Road, and an event on any of them can work if the truck or trailer can park nearby. St Leonards is on the A259 and A2102, so it’s easy for us to reach with the truck or trailer.

DIY taco night or a caterer?
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.
Doing it yourself saves money, but the host ends up in the kitchen. Booking a caterer means you can relax with everyone else.

If you are planning an event on someone’s behalf, whether you’re a planner, an office manager or an event organiser, we’ll work directly with you and the venue. It keeps things simple.
For larger events, we plan serving points around your timings, so everyone is served promptly. Let us know how long the break is.

Questions from St Leonards
Could you serve our guests after a service at St John the Evangelist's 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 will check the access.
Can you bring your truck or trailer to Summerfields Wood?
It depends on the park’s owner, who would need to agree to a catering vehicle on site. Ask them first; if they say yes, we’ll send what they need from us.
Do you have dairy-free options?
Yes. Dairy-free options are part of our menus.
What’s on the menu?
We agree the menu with each client, with fillings such as chicken tinga, carnitas or black beans. The sample menu shows the options.
Do you serve in the rain?
Rain doesn’t stop service from the hatch. Plan a marquee, gazebo or indoor space for guests to eat in.
