How it compares
A single pizza or burger stall can’t cover every visitor. Tacos, burritos, bowls and nachos give choice. A food truck can be a practical alternative to plated catering, as there’s no kitchen to hire. Ask us for a quote.
Why us?
- Food and drinks from one caterer, if you want both
- Menus chosen with you

Running an event in Buxted
Buxted is about 2 miles north-east of Uckfield, in East Sussex. We serve at events in homes, gardens and venues in Buxted and the surrounding area. We cover all 289 towns and villages in East Sussex. You can also see our page for Royal Tunbridge Wells, about 11 miles away.
If you’re organising a summer fair or fundraiser for a school such as Buxted CofE Primary School, a taco truck can be a crowd-pleaser. A fundraiser for a church like Church of St Mary the Virgin might use a food truck to give visitors a reason to stay longer. Shows and fairs in the High Weald National Landscape, about 6 miles from Buxted at most, sometimes have rules on where traders can drive. Send us the site plan and we will plan around it.
We serve at events all over TN22 and the streets around it. That could mean an event at a home with a drive on High Street, Church Road and Park View or the roads around them.

How the day works
When we arrive, we position the truck or trailer and get the serving area ready. We are ready to serve at the agreed time, so everything runs to your schedule. A December market in Buxted loses the light at about 3:55pm, so site lighting matters for traders and visitors alike. At midsummer, daylight lasts until roughly 9:15pm.
- Tell us about the event and pitch.
- We confirm our menu, pitch needs and paperwork.
- We arrive and set up at the agreed time.
- We serve to order through the event.
- We clear and leave the pitch clean.
Preparing for the day
- Check gates and access routes are wide and high enough
- Give us your final numbers and diets
- Give us a contact for the day

Space, access and the venue
We serve from a truck or trailer, so where we park matters. Here’s what we look for:
- The event’s site rules and timings
- Firm, level ground or hardstanding
- A pitch with space around it, away from tents and structures
Not sure about your space? Send us a photo and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.
Should I do it myself?
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.
Plenty of people try a DIY taco night at home. Common snags are cold tortillas, uneven quantities and the host missing the party. If you’d rather enjoy the party, let us serve.
Common questions in Buxted
Can you trade at a school fair in Buxted?
We can, as long as the school agrees and the truck or trailer can reach the pitch. Tell us the date, the site and roughly how many visitors you expect.
Which station is closest to Buxted?
Buxted station, in Buxted itself.
Do you run a bar at festivals?
Our drinks bar can be added where the event’s licensing allows. We will talk licensing through with you.
Will there be long queues?
Tell us expected visitor numbers and we will plan for peak times.
Do you have gluten-free options?
We can, using corn tortillas. Corn is naturally gluten-free, though some sauces and toppings can contain gluten, so we plan gluten-free dishes carefully and give allergen information.
What access do you need?
The main things are access and a level spot: a level spot to park, space for guests to queue and a little room for a serving table. Send us a picture and tell us about gates, slopes and soft ground.
Can you feed our volunteers?
Yes, at set times to suit your schedule. Tell us numbers and timings.
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. For anything outside that, ask us.
