South Street events: pitches and permissions
South Street is about 5 miles east of Burgess Hill, in East Sussex. Anywhere in BN8, we will come to your venue or site, as long as there’s access. South Street is one of 289 places in East Sussex we cover. You can also see our page for Brighton, about 9 miles away.
For a church fête or fundraiser, at a church such as The Parish Church of St Peter, a taco truck adds hot food to the cakes and tombola. If you are organising a summer fair or fundraiser for a school such as Chailey School, a taco truck can be a crowd-pleaser. Events in and around the South Downs National Park, within about 5 miles of South Street, often have rules about vehicles, ground and waste; we’ll follow the site’s requirements.
We serve at events all over the BN8 postcode area. Your event could be at a home on Green Lane, Markstakes Corner and St James Walk or the roads around them. We also serve at events in South Chailey (1 mile south), Chailey (1 mile north-east), North Chailey (2 miles north), Chiltington (2 miles south) and Plumpton Green (2 miles south-west). We also cater in nearby towns such as Seaford (13 miles south-east), Lewes (5 miles south), Hailsham (13 miles south-east), Crowborough (11 miles north-east), Uckfield (5 miles east) and Newhaven (11 miles south).

What we need at the venue
Many gardens, fields and venues can take a truck or trailer, but a few things matter:
- A pitch big enough for the truck or trailer and a queue
- Vehicle access to the pitch for set-up and break-down
- Firm, level ground or hardstanding

Comparing your options
Burger stalls are common. Tacos add something different to a food line-up. Catering from a truck or trailer can be a practical alternative to a sit-down meal, as there is no kitchen to hire. Contact us for a quote to compare.

DIY taco night or a caterer?
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.
If you do it yourself, work out quantities first: our guide to how many tacos per person helps. Keep warmed tortillas covered, and label anything containing allergens.
The process
When service finishes, we pack up and leave our area tidy. Set-up and pack-down times are agreed with you and the venue. Summer events in South Street have daylight until about 9:20pm at midsummer and about 7:05pm by late September, so evening trading generally finishes in daylight in high summer. For winter markets, dark by about 3:55pm, the pitch needs lighting.
- Tell us about the event, the crowd and the pitch.
- We reply with our stall menu and what we need on site.
- Power, water and access are agreed in advance.
- We plan to be ready for the lunchtime rush.
- When trading ends, the pitch is cleared and left clean.
Preparing for the day
- Tell us about narrow gates or low branches
- Have a marquee or gazebo ready in case of rain
- Let us know who to talk to on the day
