Dietary needs and planning tips
We take diets and allergies seriously. Here’s how you can help:
- Ask traders about packaging and waste
- Provide seating near the food
- Ask for allergen information at each stall
- Tell traders about power and water before the day
Our pitch is kept tidy throughout the day.
Nachos for groups.
How it works
Expect a friendly, organised team. Arrival and serving times are agreed beforehand, get the serving area ready, and serve without fuss. Christmas markets in Ardingly trade in the dark from about 3:55pm, so a lit pitch helps visitors find the truck. At midsummer, daylight lasts until roughly 9:20pm.
- Send the event name, expected visitors and pitch size.
- You get our menu and pitch requirements.
- Power, water and access are agreed in advance.
- On the day, we are ready before the busiest hours.
- At close, we pack down and tidy up.
Getting ready for the day
- Arrange somewhere covered for guests to eat
- Name one person we can ask on the day
- Find out what power and water are available

Should I do it 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.
A DIY taco night works well for a small group. For larger numbers, mixed diets or a wedding, a caterer takes the pressure off, and handles allergen information for you.

Ardingly: your questions answered
How far is Ardingly from central London?
It’s about 31 miles from central London, and inside the area we cover.
Can you bring a truck or trailer to venues in the High Weald National Landscape?
We do, where the venue allows a catering vehicle. Lanes can be narrow and ground soft, so tell us how we’d get in.
What access do you need?
A level, firm spot for the truck or trailer, with access wide and high enough to drive in, plus the venue’s permission. We confirm power and water with you for each booking.
Do you cook on site?
Fillings are slow-cooked in advance, then finished and kept hot on site. The tortillas are warmed on site, and the salsas and guacamole are made fresh.
Do you come to Ardingly?
We do. We serve at events in Ardingly and across West Sussex. Tell us your date and we’ll check availability.
Do you cater for vegetarian guests?
Yes, and we plan them in from the start. Let us know how many vegetarian and vegan guests to expect.
Can you send us your trader documents?
Share your trader requirements.
Do you provide allergen information for each dish?
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. If a guest has a severe allergy, please talk to us before the event.
