The menu, item by item

Rice, beans, filling and toppings in a bowl.
Tacos
Tacos are made for eating on the move.
The process
Here’s how the day typically runs: we park up and get ready, we open the hatch when you are ready, and your guests are served fresh until service ends. At midsummer, events in Ashurst stay light until about 9:20pm, so evening trading usually finishes in daylight in high summer. For winter markets, dark by about 3:55pm, the pitch needs lighting.
- Send the event name, expected visitors and pitch size.
- We reply with our stall menu and what we need on site.
- We confirm power, water and access arrangements.
- We plan to be ready for the lunchtime rush.
- At close, we pack down and tidy up.
How to prepare
- Arrange somewhere covered for guests to eat
- Choose a level, firm spot for the truck or trailer
- Give us your final numbers and diets

Ashurst questions
Do you cater in villages like Ashurst?
Yes, we cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about lanes, gates, ground and parking.
Do you come to events 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.

We do. Ashurst is one of the places we cover. Tell us your date and we’ll check availability.
How long are you on site?
It depends on your event. We agree arrival, service and pack-down times with you to suit your day.
What paperwork do you provide?

Is there a minimum number of guests?
Truck and trailer service usually suits around 50 to 400 guests. Smaller parties are quoted case by case, and festivals can be larger. Send us your numbers and we will advise.
Can you do gluten-free food?
Yes, with corn tortillas. Corn tortillas are naturally gluten-free, but some fillings, sauces and toppings may not be, so we plan gluten-free dishes carefully and give allergen information.

We can. Crew, volunteer and hospitality catering is available, with or without a public stall.
Planning for every diet
Nearly every event has some special diets. To cater well for them:
- Put picnic tables near the traders

- Feed crew and volunteers at set times
- Share power and water details early
Our pitch is kept tidy throughout the day.
Nachos for groups.
DIY taco night versus a caterer
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.
A DIY taco night is possible for a crowd, but it’s more work than it looks. There are fillings to slow-cook, tortillas to keep warm and salsas to make. Our taco bar guide explains how.
Space, access and the venue
Plenty of outdoor spaces and venues work for us, but there are a few things to check:
- Access for the truck or trailer at set-up
- A pitch big enough for the truck or trailer and a queue
- Clear information on power, water and waste
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and the access, and we’ll advise before you book.
For event organisers in Ashurst
For larger events, we plan serving points around your timings, so everyone is served promptly. Tell us how long you have for food and drinks.
