Lions Green: your questions answered
Do you come to events in the High Weald National Landscape?
Yes. Some venues there have rules about vehicles, ground and catering, so check with yours. Tell us about narrow lanes and soft ground.
Do you cater in villages like Lions Green?
Yes. Villages and hamlets are part of our area, and the main thing is access: tell us about the lane, the gate and the ground.
Do you cater for coeliacs?
We can, using corn tortillas. Corn is naturally gluten-free, though some sauces and toppings can contain gluten, so we plan gluten-free dishes carefully and give allergen information.
What food and drinks do you offer?
Mexican street food: tacos and build-your-own taco bars, burritos, burrito bowls, nachos and quesadillas, with salsas, guacamole and toppings. We also run a Mexican drinks bar, with margaritas, Mexican beer and aguas frescas.
Can we add a bar?
We can. Our Mexican drinks bar serves margaritas, Mexican beer, aguas frescas and soft drinks. Licensing is checked with you first.
What if the weather’s bad?
The truck or trailer can serve in the rain, but your guests will want somewhere covered, such as a marquee, gazebo or nearby building.
What food do you serve?
Every menu is agreed with you, with fillings such as chicken tinga, carnitas or black beans. The sample menu shows the options.
Can you plan for allergies?
Our menus are planned with allergies in mind, nut allergies included, with allergen information for every dish. We plan carefully and keep options separate, though we can’t promise a dish is allergen-free. Guests with severe allergies should talk to us before the event.

Dietary needs and planning tips
A Mexican menu is easy to plan for mixed diets, because options can be kept separate. A few tips:
- Ask the venue whether food trucks are allowed
- Have a covered area ready in case of rain
- Put any allergies in writing for us
- Let us know about any other food at the event
For a taco bar, we lay the fillings, salsas and toppings out on a table, and guests help themselves.
Ask about extra salsas and toppings for a bigger spread.
Before you choose a spot
Every venue is different, so we’ll ask about yours when you contact us. In general, we need:
- Room for a queue in front of the serving hatch
- Space for a taco-bar table if you’ve chosen one
- The venue’s or landowner’s permission for a catering vehicle
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and the access, and we’ll advise before you book.

DIY taco night versus a caterer
For a small group, a taco night at home can work well. For big numbers or lots of diets, a caterer makes life easier, with allergen information for every dish.
A DIY taco night is possible for a crowd, but it is 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.
