Mexican street food in Glynde

How the day works

Guests tend to gather around the truck, so we will help you choose a spot with room for a queue. Rain doesn’t usually stop us serving, though guests will want somewhere covered to stand or sit. By late September, it’s dark in Glynde at around 7:05pm, so an evening programme will run partly after dusk. Organisers should plan that into the site layout.

  1. You send us the event, the dates and the pitch details.
  2. We send our menu, pitch requirements and the documents you ask traders for.
  3. We set up the truck or trailer on the pitch at the agreed time.
  4. Tacos, burritos and more are served to order while the event is open.
  5. We pack away and leave the pitch tidy.

Getting ready for the day

  • Measure any gates or arches on the way in
  • Ask the venue about power and water
  • Give us a contact for the day

How to get a price

The menu, item by item

Burrito bowls

Easy to eat with a fork on the grass.

Quesadillas

Popular with children.

Can I do a taco night myself?

Running your own drinks table is one option, but someone still has to mix, pour and keep an eye on it all evening. See our margarita bar guide.

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. Read our guide to taco bars.

  • Spacing from tents and other structures
  • Trader information and site rules

If you are unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think before booking.

Diets, allergies and planning

Most events have a mix of diets. To cater well for them:

  • Ask about peak-time capacity
  • Provide seating near the food
  • Schedule crew meals
  • Tell traders about power and water before the day

We clear the pitch and leave it as we found it.

For event organisers in Glynde

If you are booking for a business, tell us what your finance team needs, and we will talk you through the process. We’re happy to liaise with facilities on access and timings.

If you are planning an event on someone’s behalf, such as a wedding planner, an office manager or a festival organiser, we will work directly with you and the venue. It saves passing messages back and forth.

Glynde questions

Could you serve in Lewes and Laughton Levels?

Only with permission from whoever runs the park, often the council. Check with them, and we will provide what they ask for from us.

How far is Glynde from central London?

It’s about 44 miles from central London, and inside the area we cover.

Is there a minimum number of guests?

Truck and trailer service normally suits around 50 to 400 guests. Smaller parties are quoted case by case, and festivals can be larger. Send us your numbers and we will advise.

Do you do a taco bar?

Yes, a taco bar is one of the ways we serve. Tell us about your space and numbers and we’ll recommend how to serve.

Can you come to a private house?

It depends on access. A drive or a spot nearby may work, with permission, if the garden itself is out of reach. Send us a picture and we will talk it through.

Is the food made fresh?

Fillings are slow-cooked in advance, then finished and kept hot on site. The tortillas are warmed on site, and the salsas and guacamole are made fresh.

Where do you cater?

We cater across London and the South East, East Sussex included. Find your area.

Do you bring plates and cutlery?

We confirm that with your quote. Tell us whether your venue has crockery or you’d prefer disposables and we’ll talk it through.

  • The menu you choose
