Mexican street food in Furnace Green, from our food truck or trailer
We slow-cook fillings ahead and finish them on site, which keeps the queue moving at busy times. At hospitality and crew areas and music and food festivals, we’ll put together a menu of loaded nachos, tacos and vegan tacos.
Events near Furnace Green are often volunteer-run, so we agree pitch, access and power with the organiser in advance. Access, space and power are agreed with you beforehand, so there are no surprises on arrival.

Big or small, a truck or trailer works well. Common bookings include:
- Open days and community events
- Crew and volunteer catering
- Fundraisers and fêtes
- Sports clubs and race days
A market or festival in Tilgate Park would be licensed by whoever manages the park, and we will provide our part of the paperwork.
Before booking anyone
- Whether VAT is included
- Who provides plates and napkins
- The deposit and payment dates
- What happens if it rains
Prices and what affects them
The same guest numbers can mean different prices, depending on:
- The length of service
- Parking and the route in
- What the venue already provides
- Your choice of food and drinks
If you have a budget in mind, tell us, and we’ll suggest a menu that fits. A simple menu can still feel generous.
Details that help
Here’s what makes a quick, accurate quote possible:
- A picture of the space, if it’s a garden or field
- Your date and when you want service to start
- Vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free, dairy-free and allergy numbers
- Roughly how many adults and children
We need only a few details to quote: date, location, guest numbers and diets. To send them, send a quick message through our quote form.
What happens on the day
The truck or trailer tends to draw a crowd, so we plan a spot with space for people to queue. We can serve in the rain, though guests will want somewhere covered to stand or sit. Christmas markets in Furnace Green trade in the dark from about 3:55pm, so site lighting matters for traders and visitors alike. By contrast, a midsummer fair stays light until about 9:20pm.
- Organisers send us the event details, dates and pitch information.
- We confirm our menu, our pitch needs and the paperwork your event asks for.
- On the day, we arrive in the set-up window and get ready to trade.
- We serve from the hatch through the trading times you set.
- At the close, we clear our pitch.
Preparing for the day
- Choose a level, firm spot for the truck or trailer
- Plan a covered area for guests if rain is likely
- Tell us what power and water the site has

Planning help
Before you choose a spot
Plenty of outdoor spaces and venues work for us, but there are a few things to check:
- Flat, firm ground
- Details of power, water and waste arrangements
- 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 before booking.

Common questions in Furnace Green
Do you come to school fairs around Furnace Green?
Yes, with the school’s permission and a pitch the truck or trailer can reach. Send us the date, pitch and expected numbers.
Can you bring your truck or trailer to Tilgate Park?
Only if the landowner, often the council, allows it. Ask them first, and we’ll help with the information they need from us.
Do you cook on site?
We slow-cook fillings ahead, then finish them and keep them hot at your event. The tortillas are warmed on site, and the salsas and guacamole are made fresh.
How much is a food truck for an event?
The price depends on numbers, menu, service time and where your event is. Contact us for a quote.
What access do you need?
Access and level ground matter most: a firm spot for the truck or trailer, room for a queue and, for a taco bar, space for a serving table. Send us a picture and tell us about gates, slopes and soft ground.
How many guests can you serve?
Our truck and trailer service usually suits events of around 50 to 400 guests. Festivals can be bigger, and smaller parties are quoted case by case. Tell us your numbers.
Do you cover Furnace Green?
We do. We serve at events in Furnace Green and across West Sussex. Send us your date to check availability.
What about power on site?
Tell us what the site has, such as a supply from the venue near where we will park, and we’ll confirm the arrangements with your quote.
