Common questions in East Dean
Is East Dean close to London?
Roughly 49 miles from the centre of London, and we cover it.
Will you travel to a small place like East Dean?
Yes. Villages and hamlets are part of our area, and the main thing is access: tell us about the lane, the gate and the ground.
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.
Can guests build their own tacos?
Yes, a taco bar is one of our options. Tell us about your space and numbers and we will recommend how to serve.
Do you need water?
Tell us what’s available at the pitch and we’ll confirm what we need. We confirm power and water with each booking.
Can you serve in the rain?
We can serve from the hatch in the rain. It’s worth planning a covered area for guests, and let us know if the ground gets soft after heavy rain.
When should we book?
The sooner the better. Popular dates go first, so it pays to ask early.
Do you bring plates and cutlery?
That is confirmed with each quote. Tell us whether your venue has crockery or you’d prefer disposables.
Step by step
When we arrive, we position the truck or trailer and get the serving area ready. We’re ready to serve at the agreed time, planned around your event. At midsummer, events in East Dean stay light until about 9:20pm, which helps evening trading. Winter markets, dark by about 4:00pm, need a well-lit pitch.
- Send us your event details and pitch information.
- We confirm our menu, pitch needs and paperwork.
- We set up in the agreed window.
- We serve to order through the event.
- We clear and leave the pitch clean.
How to prepare
- Plan a covered area for guests if rain is likely
- Tell us about narrow gates or low branches
- Confirm the venue allows outside caterers
Getting a price
Getting a quote is simple: tell us the date, place, numbers and any dietary needs. We’ll send you a clear quote and a suggested menu.

Catering for every guest
Mixed diets are straightforward to plan for, because options can be kept separate. Here are a few tips for planning:
- Schedule crew meals
- Provide seating near the food
- Ask traders about packaging and waste
- Ask traders about serving speed at peak times
Allergen information is available at the hatch, and the menu shows vegan and gluten-free options.
A vegan filling on every menu.
Prices and what affects them
Two events with the same number of guests can cost different amounts, because of:
- Guest numbers
- Food, drinks or both
- The length of service
- Parking and the route in
When you compare quotes, check what each one includes: serving hours, staff, disposables, travel and VAT. Our quote sets out what’s included.
What to tell us
When you contact us, it helps to tell us:
- Your date and when you want service to start
- What power and water the site has
- Where the event is
- Your menu ideas
A detailed enquiry gets a more accurate quote: venue, timings, menu ideas and access. When you are ready, fill in our quote form.
What we need at the venue
The route in matters as much as the spot itself. We need:
- Pitch space for the vehicle and a queue
- Your trader pack and site rules
- Vehicle access to the pitch for set-up and break-down
If you are unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think.
For event organisers in East Dean
Events in public spaces, like parks, usually need permission. We will provide the information the landowner or council asks for from us.
For big numbers, we plan service to keep queues short, so guests are looked after quickly. Tell us how long you have for food and drinks.
DIY taco night versus a caterer
Some hosts like to do it themselves. The usual problems are cold tortillas, running out of a popular filling and a host stuck at the stove. If you’d rather enjoy the party, let us serve.
Doing it yourself? Start with the quantities: see how many tacos per person. Keep tortillas warm in a covered basket, and label anything containing allergens.
