How the day works
The truck or trailer tends to draw a crowd, so we will help you choose a spot with room for a queue. We can serve in the rain, though guests will want somewhere covered to stand or sit. Summer events in Hastings Old Town have daylight until about 9:15pm at midsummer and about 7:00pm by late September, so evening trading typically finishes in daylight in high summer. Winter markets, dark by about 3:55pm, need a well-lit pitch.
- Send us your event details and pitch information.
- We send our menu, needs and the documents you ask for.
- We set up in the agreed window.
- Orders are served from the hatch while the event runs.
- We clear and leave the pitch clean.
Preparing for the day
- Check gates and access routes are wide and high enough
- Tell us what power and water the site has
- Give us your final numbers and diets

DIY taco night versus a caterer
Doing it yourself saves money, but the host ends up in the kitchen. With a caterer, you get the food and drinks without the work.
Plenty of people try a DIY taco night at home. Common snags are cold tortillas, uneven quantities and the host missing the party. If you’d rather enjoy the party, let us serve.
Space, access and the venue
If a space is not suitable, we will tell you, and suggest an alternative. The main points are:
- The event’s site rules and timings
- Access for the truck or trailer at set-up
- Your arrangements for power, water and waste
If you are unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think before you book.

That depends on licensing. Tell us whether the event has a premises licence or a Temporary Event Notice, and we will go from there.
