Common questions in Piddinghoe
Can you serve near the sea around Piddinghoe?
Yes, as long as the site allows it and the ground is firm. Seafront and beach spots normally need permission, and wind is the main thing to plan for.
What’s the nearest station to Piddinghoe for guests?
The closest is Newhaven Town station, roughly 1.2 miles away.
What access do you need?
The main things are access and a level spot: 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 much is a food truck for an event?
Every event is quoted individually, so the price fits what you want. Tell us your date and numbers for a clear quote.
How spicy is the food?
It is up to you: we can keep it mild and put the hotter salsas on the side.
Do you provide allergen information for each dish?
Yes. Tell us about allergies when you book. UK law requires caterers to provide information on 14 allergens, and we do that for every dish (Food Standards Agency guidance). Anyone with a severe allergy should speak to us before the event.
Do you run a bar at festivals?
It depends on the event’s licence. Tell us whether the event has a premises licence or a Temporary Event Notice, and we will go from there.
When do you arrive?
It depends on your event. We agree arrival, service and pack-down times with you to suit your day.

What else we do in Piddinghoe
DIY taco night or a caterer?
If you do it yourself, work out quantities first: see how many tacos per person. Keep tortillas warm in a covered basket, and label dishes for guests with allergies.
A DIY taco night works well for a small group. For big numbers or lots of diets, a caterer makes life easier, and handles allergen information for you.
Step by step
Guests tend to gather around the truck, so we will help you choose a spot with room for a queue. Rain does not usually stop us serving, though guests will want somewhere covered to stand or sit. Summer events in Piddinghoe have daylight until about 9:15pm at midsummer and about 7:05pm by late September, so evening trading typically finishes in daylight in high summer. Winter markets, dark by about 3:55pm, need a well-lit pitch.
- It starts with your event details 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.
- We cook to order and serve through the agreed trading hours.
- We pack away and leave the pitch tidy.
Getting ready for the day
- Let us know who to talk to on the day
- Get the venue’s permission for us to park and serve

How it compares
For crew catering, sandwiches are easy but uninspiring. A hot burrito or taco bowl keeps crew going. Larger events can cost less per head, because the set-up is similar for different sizes of event. Give us your numbers and we’ll quote.
