We serve in 289 places across East Sussex, from the larger towns to small villages. We cater right across the region, from Forest Row to Brighton (about 19 miles away).
Around Forest Row, historic houses include Standen (2.3 miles west) and Hammerwood Park (2.8 miles north-east). Before booking a historic venue, find out whether it lets an outside bar bring a vehicle on site. Historic buildings near Forest Row often have strict rules for outside caterers, so ask early if that is your venue. An outdoor bar near the High Weald National Landscape, within about a mile of Forest Row, needs firm ground and a way in, plus the right licensing, which we will check with you.

Extra dishes, drinks and longer service are priced on request, so you can choose what you need.

Forest Row questions
How far is Forest Row from central London?
About 29 miles from central London, and we cover it.
Which station is closest to Forest Row?
Guests can use East Grinstead station, about 3.2 miles north-west of Forest Row.
How much space do you need?
Access and level ground matter most: a level spot to park, space for guests to queue and a little room for a serving table. If in doubt, send us a picture of the space and the way in.
Do you do drinks only?
You can. The bar can be booked on its own, or with our Mexican catering.
Do you have vegan options?
Yes. Vegetarian and vegan fillings, such as spiced mushrooms or black beans, can be part of the menu, served alongside the meat options.
Do you provide allergen information for each dish?
Our menus are planned with allergies in mind, nut allergies included, with allergen information for every dish. We keep options separate, but we can’t promise anything is completely allergen-free. If a guest has a severe allergy, please talk to us before the event.
How soon do we need to book?
Early, particularly for summer Saturdays. Even if it’s short notice, it is worth asking.
Do you cater for coeliacs?
Yes, with 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.

Can I do a taco night myself?
Some hosts like to do it themselves. The usual problems are cold tortillas, running out of a popular filling and a host stuck at the stove. If you’d rather enjoy the party, let us serve.

Working with your venue
Throwing a party at home? Send a photo of the space and tell us about access, and we will tell you honestly whether a truck or trailer will fit.
Organising a club, school or community event in Forest Row? A truck or trailer serves a crowd quickly, with options for most diets. Give us the details and we’ll suggest a plan.
How the day works
The truck or trailer tends to draw a crowd, so we plan a spot with space for people to queue. Rain doesn’t generally stop us serving, though guests will want somewhere covered to stand or sit. In December, the light goes in Forest Row at about 3:55pm, so an outdoor bar needs lighting from the start. Midsummer is the opposite, with daylight until about 9:20pm.
- You tell us the date, venue, guest numbers and the drinks you have in mind.
- We talk licensing through with you: the venue’s licence or a Temporary Event Notice.
- You get a suggested drinks menu and a quote.
- On the day, our bar staff serve drinks responsibly at the agreed times.
- We pack away when the bar shuts and leave the area tidy.
How to prepare
- Name one person we can ask on the day
