FAQs for Danehill
Will you travel to a small place like Danehill?
Yes, we cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Let us know about access and parking for the truck or trailer.
Can you bring a truck or trailer to venues in the High Weald National Landscape?
We do, where the venue allows a catering vehicle. Lanes can be narrow and ground soft, so tell us how we’d get in.
Do you have vegan options?
Yes, they’re part of the planning from the start. Let us know how many vegetarian and vegan guests to expect.
Can you set up at our venue?
Level, firm ground, access for the truck or trailer and the venue’s agreement. Power and water are confirmed with each booking.
What about power on site?
That depends on the set-up, so we confirm power and water arrangements with each booking. Tell us what’s available at your venue.
Do you cater for vegetarians, vegans and gluten-free guests?
Diets are planned in advance, with options kept separate, though we can’t guarantee a kitchen with no trace of any allergen. Anyone with a severe allergy should speak to us first.
What’s on the menu?
We agree a sample menu with each client. Fillings could include slow-cooked pork carnitas, chicken tinga, beef birria and vegan options such as spiced mushrooms or black beans. See our menu for ideas.
How is the food prepared?
We slow-cook fillings ahead, then finish them and keep them hot at your event. Tortillas are warmed on site, and salsas and guacamole are made fresh.
Mexican catering for your event in Danehill
You can keep the menu short or make it a feast: a taco menu, or tacos plus loaded nachos, quesadillas and burrito bowls. Margaritas, Mexican beer and aguas frescas can come from our drinks bar, with licensing checked with you. It works well for staff parties and office lunches and weddings, day or evening, serving loaded nachos, fresh salsas and guacamole and a build-your-own taco bar.
Somewhere like Danehill, a field or garden is often the setting. Mention gates and soft ground when you contact us. You can book food, drinks or both, so one caterer can cover more of the day.

A school such as Danehill Church of England Primary School running a summer fair or fundraiser could book a taco truck. Close to Danehill are historic houses such as Priest House (4 miles north-west) and Gravetye Manor (4.8 miles north-west). Venues like these often limit where vehicles can go, so ask about access before you book one. With the High Weald National Landscape about 5 miles away at most, a rural setting is never far from Danehill. Country lanes there can be narrow and verges soft, so tell us about the route in.
We cover events in every part of the RH17 postcode area and the streets around it.

A closer look at the menu
Burritos and burrito bowls
Rice, beans, a filling and toppings rolled in a large tortilla, or the same served in a bowl.
Tacos
Warm tortillas with a choice of fillings, topped with salsa and fresh toppings. Fillings are agreed with you, such as carnitas, chicken tinga or spiced mushrooms.
Planning for every diet
Most events have a mix of diets. To cater well for them:
- Tell us about coeliac guests, not just gluten-free preferences
- Make sure the menu has a vegan option
- Count children separately
- Put any allergies in writing for us
Food is served from the hatch, order by order, so everything goes out hot.
Burrito bowls are a good choice for anyone avoiding tortillas, and they’re easy to adapt for different diets.
How it works
A typical event goes like this: we arrive and set up, we open the hatch when you are ready, and we serve your guests fresh until service ends. Daylight in Danehill runs to about 8:50pm in late May and 7:05pm in late September. Let us know if service will run after dark, and we will talk about lighting.
