Step by step
The truck or trailer tends to draw a crowd, so we plan a spot with space for people to queue. Rain does not generally stop us serving, but guests will need somewhere covered. At midsummer, events in Clayton stay light until about 9:20pm, which helps evening trading. Winter markets, dark by about 3:55pm, need a well-lit pitch.
- First, we check the dates.
- We agree the menu and the pitch.
- Paperwork goes over in good time.
- The hatch opens when the event does.
- We trade, then pack down.
Before we arrive
- Name one person we can ask on the day
- Share the running order, including any speeches
- Confirm the venue allows outside caterers

Clayton: your questions answered
What’s the nearest station to Clayton for guests?
Guests can use Hassocks station, about 1 mile north of Clayton.
How far is Clayton from central London?
About 41 miles from central London, and we cover it.
Do you do crew catering?
Yes, timed to your schedule. Tell us numbers and timings.
Do you cook on site?
We slow-cook fillings ahead, then finish them and keep them hot at your event. Tortillas are warmed on site, and salsas and guacamole are made fresh.
How quickly can you serve?
Fillings are cooked ahead and kept hot, so orders are assembled quickly.
Do you do parties at home?
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 will advise.
Who clears up?
Our area is packed away and left tidy. Let us know the venue’s rules on waste and we’ll confirm the arrangements with your quote.
Can you serve alcohol at our event?
Our drinks bar can be added where the event’s licensing allows. We will check the licensing with you.
Should I do it myself?
Some hosts like to do it themselves. Common snags are cold tortillas, uneven quantities and the host missing the party. If you’d rather enjoy the party, let us serve.
