Dietary needs and planning tips
A little planning makes sure everyone can eat. Try these:
- Put anyone with a severe allergy in touch with us

Wet weather does not close the hatch, but guests will want a covered area to eat.
Simple quesadillas suit younger guests.

DIY taco night versus a caterer
DIY catering keeps costs down, but the host spends the party serving. Booking a caterer means you can relax with everyone else.
A DIY taco night is possible for a crowd, but it’s more work than it looks. Fillings need slow cooking, tortillas need warming as you go, and salsas need making. Read our guide to taco bars.

Common questions in Fulking
What’s the nearest station to Fulking for guests?
The closest is Portslade station, roughly 3.9 miles away.
Do you cater at coastal events near Fulking?
We can, given firm ground and the landowner’s permission. Beaches and promenades generally need the council’s agreement, so check that first.
Do you take everything away?
We pack down and leave our area tidy. Tell us the venue’s rules on waste and clearing up and we’ll talk it through.
Can you keep it mild?
We can keep it mild, and hotter salsas go on the side for guests who like heat.
Do you cook on site?
We cook to order in our truck or trailer kitchen, or serve from a taco bar. Slow-cooked fillings are prepared in advance and kept hot on site.
What about vegan and gluten-free guests?
Diets are planned with you in advance, but we cannot promise an allergen-free kitchen. Anyone with a severe allergy should contact us before the event.
Can you do gluten-free food?
Yes, with corn tortillas. Corn is naturally gluten-free, though some sauces and toppings can contain gluten, so we check every dish and give allergen information.
When do you arrive?
We get there well before service to set up. Serving times are agreed with you in advance, along with pack-down.
