FAQs for Hickstead
Do you come to school fairs around Hickstead?
We can, as long as the school agrees and the truck or trailer can reach the pitch. Tell us the date, the site and roughly how many visitors you expect.
Which station is closest to Hickstead?
The closest is Burgess Hill station, roughly 3.1 miles away.
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.
What documents can you send?
Tell us what the event needs and we’ll send the paperwork your event asks for.
Do you cater for coeliacs?
We can, using corn tortillas. Corn tortillas are naturally gluten-free, but some fillings, sauces and toppings may not be, so we check every dish and give allergen information.
Will there be long queues?
Fillings are cooked ahead and kept hot, so orders are assembled quickly.
Do you need power and water?
Let us know what’s available on site, for example a supply from the venue, and we’ll confirm what we need with your quote.
Can you do dairy-free food?
We can. Dairy-free options are part of our menus, and we will tell you which dishes contain milk.
For event organisers in Hickstead
Many venues have rules for outside caterers: where vehicles can park, access times and the paperwork they need. Tell us what your venue needs and we will work to it.
Organising a club, school or community event in Hickstead? Service from a truck or trailer is quick, even for a crowd, and the menu can suit most diets. Tell us about the event and we will suggest a menu.
How the day works
On the day, we park the truck or trailer in the agreed spot and set up. Service starts at the time we’ve agreed, so everything runs to your schedule. By late September, it is dark in Hickstead at around 7:05pm, so later trading needs some lighting. Organisers should plan that into the site layout.
- Organisers send us the event details, dates and pitch information.
- We send our menu, pitch requirements and the documents you ask traders 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.
- We pack away and leave the pitch tidy.
Preparing for the day
- Have a marquee or gazebo ready in case of rain
- Tell us what power and water the site has
- Choose a level, firm spot for the truck or trailer

How it compares
Hot-cabinet food lacks appeal. Everything we serve is assembled to order. There is no one-size-fits-all price for Mexican street food. A simple party menu and a full wedding day are very different jobs. Your quote sets it all out.
Why book with us
- Fast service, even with a queue
- Everything served fresh from the hatch
- Every guest catered for, gluten-free, dairy-free, vegetarian and vegan included
- A plan agreed before the day
