Mexican street food in Copthorne, served fresh
We agree a stall menu with you, with fillings such as carnitas, chicken tinga or beef birria, and a vegan filling like black beans. It works well for community events and open days and country shows, with burrito bowls, burritos and loaded nachos.
Village fêtes and summer fairs around Copthorne can be a good fit for a taco truck. Tell us about the pitch, ground and access. You can book food, drinks or both, so the food and drinks can come from one caterer.

What happens on the day
The truck or trailer needs a level, firm spot with access to drive in, and we agree power and water arrangements before the day. Send us a photo of the space if you’re unsure. A December market in Copthorne loses the light at about 3:55pm, so site lighting matters for traders and visitors alike. By contrast, a midsummer fair stays light until about 9:20pm.

Questions from Copthorne
How far is Copthorne from central London?
Roughly 25 miles from the centre of London, and we cover it.

We pack down and leave our area tidy. Let us know the venue’s rules on waste and we will talk it through.
