Questions from Folkington
Do you come to events in the South Downs National Park?
Yes. Some venues there have rules about vehicles, ground and catering, so check with yours. We’ll follow the site rules.
Will you travel to a small place like Folkington?
Yes, we cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Let us know about access and parking for the truck or trailer.
What do you need at the venue?
Level, firm ground or hardstanding for the truck or trailer, and a route in it can fit through, plus the venue’s permission. Power and water arrangements are confirmed with each booking.
Can you plan for allergies?
We plan allergen-aware menus, including for nut allergies, and give allergen information for every dish. We plan carefully and keep options separate, though we cannot promise a dish is allergen-free. Guests with severe allergies should talk to us before the event.
Can you cater in a back garden?
Yes, if the truck or trailer can get in and park on level, firm ground. Tell us about the drive, gates and any slopes, and we’ll tell you honestly whether it works.
Do you have dairy-free options?
Yes. We offer dairy-free options.
Can guests build their own tacos?
We can. We can set up a build-your-own taco bar, served from the truck or a serving table, with fillings, salsas, guacamole and toppings.

We quote for each event, based on numbers, drinks and hours. For a price, drop us a line using the enquiry form.

How it works

Winter receptions in Folkington are dark by about 3:55pm in December, so plan where guests will gather, and how it will be lit. Midsummer is the opposite, with daylight until about 9:15pm.

- We go through the licensing with you: the venue’s licence or a Temporary Event Notice.
- We put together a drinks menu, with alcohol-free choices, and quote for it.
- We arrive, set up and serve margaritas, Mexican beer and aguas frescas.
