Step by step
We take care of everything you’ve booked, from set-up to service, so you can spend time with your guests. Summer events in Ford have daylight until about 9:20pm at midsummer and about 7:05pm by late September, which helps evening trading. For winter markets, dark by about 4:00pm, the pitch needs lighting.
- It starts with your event details and pitch information.
- We send our menu, pitch requirements and the documents you ask traders for.
- We set up the truck or trailer on the pitch at the agreed time.
- We cook to order and serve through the agreed trading hours.

What we need at the venue
Many gardens, fields and venues can take a truck or trailer, but a few things matter:
- Pitch space for the vehicle and a queue
- Clear information on power, water and waste
- A pitch with space around it, away from tents and structures
Not sure about your space? Send us a picture and we’ll tell you honestly.
Can I do a taco night myself?
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.
A DIY taco night works well for a small group. For big numbers or lots of diets, a caterer makes life easier, with allergen information for every dish.

Hot food from a truck or trailer could give a school fair, for a school such as The Littlehampton Academy, a busy corner. A fundraiser for a church like The Parish Church of St Andrew might use a food truck to give visitors a reason to stay longer. Shows and fairs in the South Downs National Park, about 6 miles from Ford at most, sometimes have rules on where traders can drive. Send us the site plan and we’ll plan around it. Seafront festivals and markets, with the coast within about 3 miles of Ford, need the organiser’s permission for traders. Send us the pitch details and we’ll check access.

Your questions about Mexican street food in Ford
Do you come to events in the South Downs National Park?
Yes. Some venues there have rules about vehicles, ground and catering, so check with yours. Tell us about narrow lanes and soft ground.
Do you cater at coastal events near Ford?
Yes, as long as the site allows it and the ground is firm. Wind, sand and seafront permissions are the main things to plan on the coast.
Can you cater in a back garden?
That depends on access. A drive or a spot nearby may work, with permission, if the garden itself is out of reach. Send us a photo and we’ll talk it through.
Can vegans eat at your stall?
We do. There are vegan tacos and corn tortillas for gluten-free visitors.
Do you need electricity?
Let us know what’s available on site, for example a supply from the venue, and we will confirm what we need with your quote.

Can you do gluten-free food?
Yes, gluten-free options are available, using corn tortillas. Tell us about any coeliac guests before the event so we can talk through how their food is prepared.

Our menus are planned with allergies in mind, nut allergies included, and give allergen information for every dish. We plan carefully and keep options separate, though we can’t promise a dish is allergen-free. Guests with severe allergies should talk to us before the event.
