Common questions in Leigh
Which station is closest to Leigh?
Betchworth station, about 2.9 miles north of the centre.
Can you bring a truck or trailer to venues in the Surrey Hills National Landscape?
We do, where the venue allows a catering vehicle. Lanes can be narrow and ground soft, so tell us how we’d get in.
Can you feed our volunteers?
We can. We can cook for crew, volunteers or a hospitality area as well as, or instead of, a public stall.
Can we have a build-your-own taco bar?
We can. 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.
What food and drinks do you offer?
Every menu is agreed with you. Fillings might include chicken tinga, pork carnitas, al pastor-style pork and vegan options like black beans. Our sample menu has more ideas.
When do you arrive?
It depends on your event. Timings are agreed in advance so everything fits your schedule.
How is the food prepared?
Food is cooked to order in our food truck or trailer, or served from a build-your-own taco bar. Slow-cooked fillings are prepared in advance and kept hot on site.
Do you give allergen information?
We plan allergen-aware menus, including for nut allergies, and give allergen information for every dish. We keep options separate, but we cannot promise anything is completely allergen-free. Guests with severe allergies should talk to us before the event.
What we need at the venue
Many gardens, fields and venues can take a truck or trailer, but there are a few things to check:
- Room for the truck or trailer and customers
- A level pitch on firm ground
- Your trader pack and site rules
If you’re unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think.
Is Mexican street food right for your event?
Burger stalls are common. A Mexican trader adds variety to a food line-up. Access and travel can make a difference to the cost, so tell us about the venue when you ask for a quote. The full price is confirmed in your quote.

A little planning makes sure everyone can eat. Here’s how:

The process
Serving is quick: we serve from the hatch or a serving station, so even a long queue moves. When service ends, we pack down. By late September, it’s dark in Leigh at around 7:05pm, so an evening programme will run partly after dusk. 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.
- We arrive at the agreed time and set up on our pitch.
- Tacos, burritos and more are served to order while the event is open.
- At the close, we clear our pitch.
Getting ready for the day
