FAQs for Tide Mills
Could you serve in Castle Hill?
It depends on the park’s owner, who would need to agree to a catering vehicle on site. Ask them first; if they say yes, we’ll send what they need from us.
How far is Tide Mills from central London?
It is about 50 miles from central London, and inside the area we cover.
Where do you cater?
We cover London and the South East, including East Sussex. Find your area.
Can you run a bar?
Yes, we offer a Mexican drinks bar, with margaritas, Mexican beer, aguas frescas and soft drinks. Alcohol at an event may need a licence, such as a premises licence or a Temporary Event Notice, so we’ll go through the licensing with you.
Can you keep it mild?
That is your choice: we can keep it mild and put the hotter salsas on the side. Read more about how spicy Mexican food is.
Do you provide allergen information for each dish?
Yes, and it helps to hear about allergies when you book. Under UK rules, caterers must give information on 14 allergens, and we give it for every dish (Food Standards Agency guidance). For severe allergies, please talk to us first.
Do you do drinks only?
Of course. Ask about adding tacos and burritos.
Can you serve in the rain?
Rain does not typically stop service from the truck or trailer. It is worth planning a covered area for guests, and tell us if heavy rain could make the ground soft.
What we need at the venue
Many gardens, fields and venues can take a truck or trailer, but there are a few things to check:
- The right licence for alcohol: the venue’s licence or a Temporary Event Notice
- Firm, level ground where we can set up
- Power and water, which we confirm with you for each booking
Not sure about your space? Send us a picture and we’ll tell you honestly.

Prices and what affects them
Two events with the same number of guests can cost different amounts, because of:
- Plates, napkins and cutlery
- The length of service
- Food, drinks or both
- Your choice of food and drinks
Pricing depends on the event. A short lunch service for a team is a different job from a full wedding day. Your quote sets it all out.
