FAQs for St Leonards
Which station should guests use for St Leonards?
St Leonards has its own station: St Leonards Warrior Square station.
Is it possible to have you in Summerfields Wood?
Only with permission from whoever runs the park, often the council. Check with them, and we’ll provide what they ask for from us.
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 is the food prepared?
We slow-cook fillings ahead, then finish them and keep them hot at your event. The tortillas are warmed on site, and the salsas and guacamole are made fresh.
How quickly can you serve?
Fillings are cooked ahead and kept hot, so orders are assembled quickly.
Can you trade at our festival or fair?
Send us the event details, dates and pitch information, and we’ll let you know if we’re available.
Do you need water?
We’ll confirm our needs once we know the pitch details, including power and water.
Can you run a bar?
Yes, we do. Our drinks bar can be booked on its own or with food, with alcohol-free options such as aguas frescas. We’ll check the licensing for alcohol with you.
How it compares
Crew sandwiches are easy but dull. A hot burrito or taco bowl keeps crew going. Comparing caterers? Look at what each quote includes: serving hours, staff, disposables, travel and VAT. Contact us for a quote and we will set out what’s included.

- Quoted for your event

Can I do a taco night myself?
Some hosts like to do it themselves. The usual problems are cold tortillas, running out of a popular filling and a host stuck at the stove. If you’d rather be with your guests, we’ll do the serving.
A DIY taco night is possible for a crowd, but it’s more work than it looks. Fillings need slow cooking, tortillas need warming as you go, and salsas need making. Read our guide to taco bars.
Working with your venue
Venues often have their own rules about outside caterers: where vehicles can park, access times and the paperwork they need. Send us your venue’s requirements and we will follow them.
Throwing a party at home? Send us a picture of the space and tell us about the drive and gates, and we will tell you honestly whether a truck or trailer will fit.
