Fairs, fêtes and events in Founthill
Founthill is about 3 miles west of Uckfield, in East Sussex. Whether your event is in the middle of Founthill or on the outskirts, Mexican street food works the same way: a truck or trailer at your event, options for every diet and a clear price. Founthill is one of 289 towns and villages in East Sussex we cover. Our nearest city page is Brighton, about 11 miles away.
If you’re organising a summer fair or fundraiser for a school such as Newick Church of England Primary School, a taco truck can be a crowd-pleaser. Organisers of a summer fête for a church such as The Parish Church of St Mary could add tacos and burritos alongside the bric-a-brac. Within about 7 miles is the South Downs National Park, where events may have extra rules on vehicles and waste; we will follow the site’s requirements.
We cater events across the BN8 postcode area. Close by, we cover events in Newick (1 mile north-west), Chailey (1 mile west), North Chailey (2 miles west), South Street (2 miles south-west) and Mount Pleasant (2 miles south). Further out, we also cater in Seaford (13 miles south), Lewes (6 miles south), Hailsham (12 miles south-east), Crowborough (9 miles north-east), Uckfield (3 miles east) and Newhaven (12 miles south).

How the day works
Here’s how the day normally runs: we park up and get ready, service opens at the agreed time, and we serve your guests fresh until service ends. Summer events in Founthill 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 3:55pm, the pitch needs lighting.
- Send the event name, expected visitors and pitch size.
- We reply with our stall menu and what we need on site.
- We confirm power, water and access arrangements.
- We plan to be ready for the lunchtime rush.
- At close, we pack down and tidy up.
Getting ready for the day
- Ask the venue about power and water
- Confirm the venue allows outside caterers
- Share the running order, including any speeches
How to get a price
We need only a few details to quote: the date, where the event is, how many guests and any dietary needs. Contact us for a quote: just tell us about it on our contact page.

What we need at the venue
Plenty of outdoor spaces and venues work for us, but a few things matter:
- Details of power, water and waste arrangements
- Access for the truck or trailer at set-up
- A pitch big enough for the truck or trailer and a queue
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and the access, and we will advise.
Diets, allergies and planning
Dietary needs are easy to plan for with a little notice. We suggest:
- Make sure the line-up includes vegan and gluten-free options
- Plan seating near the food area
- Check how traders handle peak times
- Share vehicle access times with traders
Orders are served throughout the event.

FAQs for Founthill
Is Founthill close to London?
It’s about 37 miles from central London, and inside the area we cover.
Could you bring a taco truck to a school fair in Founthill?
Yes, with the school’s permission and a pitch the truck or trailer can reach. Tell us the date and pitch details.
Can vegans eat at your stall?
Yes, always. We serve vegan fillings such as black beans or spiced mushrooms.
Can guests build their own tacos?
Yes. We can set up a build-your-own taco bar, served from the truck or a serving table, with fillings, salsas, guacamole and toppings. Read our taco bar guide.
Will you have a stall at our event?
Send us the event details, dates and pitch information, and we will let you know if we are available.
Do you cater for vegetarian guests?
Of course. Vegetarian and vegan fillings, such as spiced mushrooms or black beans, can be part of the menu, served alongside the meat options.
What do you serve?
We agree a sample menu with each client. Fillings might include slow-cooked pork carnitas, chicken tinga, beef birria and vegan options such as spiced mushrooms or black beans. See our menu for ideas.
Can you do gluten-free food?
Yes, gluten-free options are available, made with corn tortillas. Tell us about any coeliac guests before the event so we can talk through how their food is prepared. See are corn tortillas gluten-free?
For planners, venues and organisers
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.
For big numbers, we plan service to keep queues short, so everyone is served promptly. Let us know how long the break is.
DIY taco night or a caterer?
If you do it yourself, work out quantities first: see how many tacos per person. Keep tortillas warm in a covered basket, and label dishes for guests with allergies.
A DIY taco night is possible for a crowd, but it is more work than it looks. Fillings need slow cooking, tortillas need warming as you go, and salsas need making. Our taco bar guide explains how.

- Vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and dairy-free options, with allergen information
