The process
When service finishes, we pack down and clear our own area. Set-up and pack-down times are agreed with you and the venue. By late September, it is dark in Cross Gate at around 7:05pm, so an evening programme will run partly after dusk. Organisers should plan that into the site layout.
- Organisers send us the event details, dates and pitch information.
- We confirm our menu, our pitch needs and the paperwork your event asks for.
- We set up the truck or trailer on the pitch at the agreed time.
- Tacos, burritos and more are served to order while the event is open.
- We pack away and leave the pitch tidy.
Preparing for the day
- Have level hardstanding or firm ground ready
- Get the venue’s permission for us to park and serve
- Tell us about narrow gates or low branches

FAQs for Cross Gate
Do you come out to small places like Cross Gate?
Yes, we cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Let us know about access and parking for the truck or trailer.
Do you come to events in the South Downs National Park?
We do, where the venue allows a catering vehicle. Lanes can be narrow and ground soft, so tell us how we’d get in.
Do you cover Cross Gate?
Yes. We cover London and the South East, including Cross Gate. To check your date, send us your details through our quote form.
What food and drinks do you offer?
Mexican street food: tacos and build-your-own taco bars, burritos, burrito bowls, nachos and quesadillas, plus salsas, guacamole and toppings. We also run a Mexican drinks bar.
Do you have gluten-free options?
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.
Can you do dairy-free food?
We can. We offer dairy-free options.
Can you cater in a back garden?
Yes, if the truck or trailer can get in and park on level, firm ground. Send us a picture of the access and the space, and we will tell you honestly whether it works.
Can you run a bar?
Yes, we offer a Mexican drinks bar, serving margaritas, Mexican beer, aguas frescas such as hibiscus and horchata, and soft drinks. Alcohol at an event may need a licence, such as a premises licence or a Temporary Event Notice, so we will go through the licensing with you.
DIY taco night versus a caterer
You can host your own taco night for a crowd, but it takes planning. There are fillings to slow-cook, tortillas to keep warm and salsas to make. Our taco bar guide explains how.
DIY catering keeps costs down, but the host spends the party serving. Booking a caterer means you can relax with everyone else.
Space, access and the venue
Access is the first thing to check for a truck or trailer. We need:
- A pitch big enough for the truck or trailer and a queue
- A level pitch on firm ground
- Clear information on power, water and waste
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and the access, and we will advise.
Dietary needs and planning tips
Good planning keeps every guest safe and happy. Try these:
- Book crew catering in advance
- Check traders’ packaging and waste plans
- Ask about peak-time capacity
- Plan access routes for trader vehicles
We clear the pitch and leave it as we found it.
A vegan filling on every menu.
For planners, venues and organisers
For larger events, we plan serving points around your timings, so guests are looked after quickly. Tell us how long you have for food and drinks.
If your event is in a public space, such as a park, check what permission you need first. We’ll provide the information the landowner or council asks for from us.
