Waterhall: your questions answered
Can you serve near the sea around Waterhall?
Yes, as long as the site allows it and the ground is firm. Seafront and beach spots usually need permission, and wind is the main thing to plan for.
Can you bring your truck or trailer to Withdean Park?
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.
Do you clear up afterwards?
We pack down and tidy our own area after service. For anything beyond that, such as guests’ tables, ask us.
Is there a minimum number of guests?
It depends on the menu and how long service runs, but around 50 to 400 guests is the usual range. Tell us your numbers and we’ll advise.
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.
How spicy is the food?
We can keep it mild, and hotter salsas go on the side for guests who like heat.
What happens if it rains?
We can keep serving from the truck or trailer in the rain, but guests need somewhere covered to eat and drink, like a marquee or gazebo.

For planners, venues and organisers

If your event is in a public space, such as a park, check what permission you need first. We can send what the landowner or council needs from us.
Can I do a taco night myself?
For a small group, a taco night at home can work well. For larger numbers, mixed diets or a wedding, a caterer takes the pressure off, and handles allergen information for you.
Doing it yourself? Start with the quantities: see how many tacos per person. Keep warmed tortillas covered, and label dishes for guests with allergies.
