Monk's Gate questions
Could you serve in Leonardslee?
Only with permission from whoever runs the park, often the council. Check with them, and we’ll provide what they ask for from us.
What’s the nearest station to Monk's Gate for guests?
Guests can use Horsham station, about 2.6 miles north-west of Monk's Gate.
Do we need to provide plates?
Ask us when you enquire, and we will confirm what’s possible with your quote.
Can you come to a private house?
It depends on access. A drive or a spot nearby may work, with permission, if the garden itself is out of reach. Tell us about the space and we’ll advise.
Do you give allergen information?
Our menus are planned with allergies in mind, nut allergies included, and give allergen information for every dish. We keep options separate, but we can’t promise anything is completely allergen-free. Guests with severe allergies should talk to us before the event.
Do you do margaritas?
Yes, we do. Our drinks bar can be booked on its own or with food, with alcohol-free options such as aguas frescas. We’ll check the licensing for alcohol with you.
Do you cater in Monk's Gate?
We do. We serve at events in Monk's Gate and across West Sussex. Tell us your date and we will check availability.
Can you serve from my drive or garden?
That depends on the way in and the ground. Let us know about gates, slopes and soft grass, and we’ll confirm.
For event organisers in Monk's Gate
Venues often have their own rules about outside caterers: vehicle access, arrival times and documents. Tell us what your venue needs and we will work to it.
Planners and coordinators can contact us directly, and we will keep everyone informed on the day.
Comparing your options
Home-made buffets take ages and sit out for hours. Tacos and burritos are served hot, order by order. If you have a budget in mind, tell us, and we will suggest a menu to match. A simple menu can still feel generous.
Why us?
- Options for gluten-free, dairy-free, vegetarian and vegan guests
- Food and drinks from one caterer, if you want both
- Everything served fresh from the hatch
- Quoted for your event
See our pricing and the cost guide.
DIY taco night or a caterer?
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.
You can set up your own drinks table, but someone still has to mix, pour and keep an eye on it all evening. Our margarita bar guide has tips.

How it works
We work to your timings. If speeches run late or the photos take longer, let us know and we will adjust where we can. At midsummer, it’s light in Monk's Gate until about 9:20pm, so a garden party can run well into the evening. By late September sunset is around 7:05pm, so plan festoon lights for later parties.
- Send us your date, address and numbers.
- You get a menu and a quote.
- We confirm access, then arrive early on the day.
- Guests order at the hatch or build their own tacos.
- We clear our area when service ends.
Getting ready for the day
- Give us your final numbers and diets
- Share the running order, including any speeches
- Plan a covered area for guests if rain is likely
