The process
Here’s how the day normally runs: we park up and get ready, we open the hatch when you are ready, and we serve your guests fresh for the agreed time. At midsummer, it is light in Lychpit until about 9:25pm, so evening drinks can be served in daylight. In late September it is dark around 7:10pm, and in December by about 4:00pm, so evening bars need lighting.
- Tell us your date, venue and numbers.
- We talk through licensing with you.
- You choose the drinks with us.
- Our bar staff serve your guests at the agreed times.
- We pack down when the bar closes.
Preparing for the day
- Have a marquee or gazebo ready in case of rain
- Let us know who to talk to on the day

Lychpit: your questions answered
Could you serve our guests after a service at Church of St Mary?
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 Eastrop Park?
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 will send what they need from us.
What access do you need?
A level, firm spot for the truck or trailer, with access wide and high enough to drive in, and the venue’s agreement. Power and water arrangements are confirmed with each booking.
Is the food very hot?
The food can be kept mild, with hotter salsas on the side for anyone who wants more heat.
How is the food prepared?
Fillings are slow-cooked in advance, then finished and kept hot on site. Tortillas are warmed on site, and salsas and guacamole are made fresh.
Who clears up?
We pack down and tidy our own area after service. Ask us if you’d like help with anything else.
Is there a minimum number of guests?
That depends on the menu and the service time, but around 50 to 400 guests is the usual range. For anything outside that, ask us.
Do you do a taco bar?
Yes. We can set up a build-your-own taco bar, served from the truck or a serving table, with fillings, salsas and toppings to choose from. Read our taco bar guide.
Should I do it myself?
You can host your own taco night for a crowd, but it takes planning. There are fillings to slow-cook, tortillas to keep warm and salsas to make. Read our guide to taco bars.
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, with allergen information for every dish.
