Common questions in Saddlescombe
Can you serve near the sea around Saddlescombe?
Yes, with permission for the spot and firm ground for the truck or trailer. Seafront and beach spots usually need permission, and wind is the main thing to plan for.
Is Saddlescombe close to London?
Roughly 42 miles from the centre of London.
How quickly can you serve?
Fillings are cooked ahead and kept hot, so orders are assembled quickly.
Can you run a bar?
Yes, we run a Mexican drinks bar, with margaritas, Mexican beer, aguas frescas and soft drinks. Alcohol at an event may need a licence, such as a premises licence or a Temporary Event Notice, so we will talk licensing through with you.
Can you plan for allergies?
We plan allergen-aware menus, including for nut allergies, with allergen information for every dish. We keep options separate, but we cannot promise anything is completely allergen-free. If a guest has a severe allergy, please talk to us before the event.
Can you feed our volunteers?
Yes, timed to your schedule. Tell us numbers and timings.
Can vegans eat at your stall?
Yes. There are vegan tacos and corn tortillas for gluten-free visitors.
Do you take everything away?

DIY taco night or a caterer?
Not sure whether to do it yourself or book a caterer? Think about numbers, diets and how much you want to enjoy the day. Contact us for a quote to compare.
Some hosts like to do it themselves. Common snags are cold tortillas, uneven quantities and the host missing the party. If you’d rather enjoy the party, let us serve.
The process
We arrive in good time before service, set up the truck or trailer and get everything ready. Guests come up to order when service opens. At midsummer, events in Saddlescombe stay light until about 9:20pm, which helps evening trading. Winter markets, dark by about 3:55pm, need a well-lit pitch.
- Send us your event details and pitch information.
- We confirm our menu, pitch needs and paperwork.
- We set up in the agreed window.
- Orders are served from the hatch while the event runs.
- We clear and leave the pitch clean.
Getting ready for the day
