Catering for every guest
Most events have a mix of diets. To plan for them:
- Check early that your venue allows food trucks
- Ask guests about dietary needs when they reply
- Think about cover if the weather turns
- Ask about parking rules if we’ll be on a road
We can serve through rain, but guests will want a covered area to eat.
Quesadillas make an easy option for children, if you’d like a kids’ choice.

Birling Gap: your questions answered
How far is Birling Gap from London?
About 54 miles from central London, and well within our area.
We are having a ceremony at The Parish Church of St Simon and St Jude: can you cater afterwards?
Yes, at a garden, field or venue nearby where the truck or trailer can park. Service would be at the reception venue, not the church. Tell us where the reception will be.
Can you plan for allergies?
We plan allergen-aware menus, including for nut allergies, with allergen information for every dish. We keep options separate, but we can’t promise anything is completely allergen-free. Guests with severe allergies should talk to us before the event.
Do you need electricity?
Let us know what’s available on site, such as a supply from the venue near where we’ll park, and we’ll confirm the arrangements with your quote.
How long are you on site?
It depends on your event. We agree arrival, service and pack-down times with you so everything fits your schedule.
Do you do a taco bar?
We can. 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.
Do you cater in Birling Gap?
Yes, we do. We serve at events in Birling Gap and across East Sussex. Tell us your date and we’ll check availability.
What do you serve?
We agree a sample menu with each client. Fillings might include chicken tinga, pork carnitas, al pastor-style pork and vegan options like black beans. See our menu for ideas.
How it compares
A marquee kitchen with plated service needs more space, more staff and more time. A food truck arrives as a kitchen and serves from the hatch. When you compare quotes, check what each one includes: service time, staff, plates and napkins, travel and VAT. Contact us for a quote and we’ll set out what’s included.
