FAQs for Drayton
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.
How far is Drayton from London?
About 54 miles from central London.
Will there be long queues?
With fillings ready to go, service is quick.
Is the food very hot?
The food can be kept mild, and hotter salsas go on the side for guests who like heat.
Can we book you as a trader?
Send us the details, and we will confirm availability and requirements.
What’s on the menu?
We agree a sample menu with each client. Fillings could include chicken tinga, pork carnitas, al pastor-style pork and vegan options like black beans. Our sample menu has more ideas.
How long do you serve for?
We get there well before service to set up. Serving times are agreed with you in advance.
Do you cater for vegetarian guests?
Yes, and we plan them in from the start. Let us know how many vegetarian and vegan guests to expect.

What happens on the day
Service is quick and friendly: guests are served at the hatch or a serving station, so even a long queue moves. Afterwards we clear our area. A December market in Drayton loses the light at about 4:00pm, so site lighting matters for traders and visitors alike. At midsummer, daylight lasts until roughly 9:20pm.
- Tell us about the event and pitch.
- We send our menu, needs and the documents you ask for.
- We arrive and set up at the agreed time.
- Orders are served from the hatch while the event runs.
- We clear and leave the pitch clean.
Preparing for the day
- Share the running order, including any speeches
- Check gates and access routes are wide and high enough
- Choose a level, firm spot for the truck or trailer
Getting a price

Can I do a taco night myself?
You can host your own taco night for a crowd, but it takes planning. Fillings need slow cooking, tortillas need warming as you go, and salsas need making. Our taco bar guide explains how.
