Do you cater in villages like Plumpton?
Yes. Villages and hamlets are part of our area, and the main thing is access: tell us about the lane, the gate and the ground.

Level, firm ground or hardstanding for the truck or trailer, and a route in it can fit through, and the venue’s agreement. Power and water arrangements are confirmed with each booking.

Do you clear up afterwards?
We pack down and leave our area tidy. Tell us the venue’s rules on waste and clearing up and we’ll confirm the arrangements with your quote.
How our Mexican street food works in Plumpton
Tacos, burritos and bowls are easy to eat on the move. For school and charity events and county and country shows, we can serve loaded nachos, burrito bowls and quesadillas for your guests.
Near Plumpton, events may be far from shops and cafés, so a hot-food truck is a big help. You can book food, drinks or both, so the food and drinks can come from one caterer.

What we need at the venue
The route in matters as much as the spot itself. We look for:
- A pitch with space around it, away from tents and structures
- Your trader pack and site rules
- Firm, level ground or hardstanding
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and the access, and we will advise before you book.
Dietary needs and planning tips
A little planning makes sure everyone can eat. Try these:
- Send traders one clear trader pack
- Check traders’ packaging and waste plans
- Check allergen information is on display
- Book crew catering in advance
On the day, we work with your site team on any changes.

Vegan fillings with salsa and toppings.
Quesadillas
A good choice for families.
DIY taco night versus a caterer
A DIY taco night works well for a small group. For larger numbers, mixed diets or a wedding, a caterer takes the pressure off, and handles allergen information for you.
You can set up your own drinks table, but someone has to serve all evening. Our margarita bar guide has tips.
Occasions we cater for in Plumpton
