FAQs for Old Town
Could you come to a seaside event near Old Town?
We can, given firm ground and the landowner’s permission. Beaches and promenades normally need the council’s agreement, so check that first.
Can you bring a truck or trailer to venues in the South Downs National Park?
We do, where the venue allows a catering vehicle. Lanes can be narrow and ground soft, so tell us how we’d get in.
Will there be long queues?
Fillings are cooked ahead and kept hot, so orders are assembled quickly.
Do you need electricity?
That depends on the set-up, so we confirm power and water arrangements with each booking. Tell us what’s available at your venue.
Are plates and napkins included?
Ask us when you enquire. Let us know what you already have, and we’ll set out plates, napkins and cutlery in your quote.
Do you have options for kids?
Yes, children are welcome. Tell us how many and roughly how old, and we will plan the menu with them in mind.
What do you need at the pitch?
Let us know what the pitch has and we’ll confirm our needs. Power and water are agreed with each booking.
Can you send us your trader documents?
Tell us what the event needs and we will send the paperwork your event asks for.

The process
Guests tend to gather around the truck, so we will help you choose a spot with room for a queue. We can serve in the rain, though guests will want somewhere covered to stand or sit. Summer events in Old Town have daylight until about 9:15pm at midsummer and about 7:00pm by late September, which helps evening trading. For winter markets, dark by about 3:55pm, the pitch needs lighting.

- You get our menu and pitch requirements.
- We confirm power, water and access arrangements.
- On the day, we’re ready before the busiest hours.
- When trading ends, the pitch is cleared and left clean.

Perfect for your event in Old Town
It covers several diets with one trader.
Whatever the occasion, the serving truck can be a highlight. We can cater:
- County and country shows
- Crew and volunteer catering
- Street food and farmers’ markets
- Music and food festivals
Organisers of a summer fête for a church such as Church of St Mary could add tacos and burritos alongside the bric-a-brac.
Questions to ask before you book
- Allergen information for each dish
- How late numbers can change
- Travel and parking costs
- What the caterer needs from your venue
Can I do a taco night myself?
Doing it yourself saves money, but the host ends up in the kitchen. Booking a caterer means you can relax with everyone else.
Doing it yourself? Start with the quantities: see how many tacos per person. Keep tortillas warm in a covered basket, and label dishes for guests with allergies.
