Planning the serving area
The route in matters as much as the spot itself. We look for:
- A level pitch on firm ground
- Vehicle access to the pitch for set-up and break-down
- Clearance from tents and gazebos

How the day works
We arrive in good time before service, then set up and prepare everything. Guests come up to order when service opens. For an evening event in Tidebrook, sunset is about 8:50pm in late May and 9:15pm in late June; after that, the trading area needs lighting from the organiser or the site.
- Send us your event details and pitch information.
- We confirm our menu, pitch needs and paperwork.
- We arrive and set up at the agreed time.
- We serve to order through the event.
- We pack down and tidy the pitch.
How to prepare

Your questions about Mexican street food in Tidebrook
How far is Tidebrook from London?
About 36 miles from central London.
Do you cater in the High Weald National Landscape?
Yes, though some venues in protected landscapes have extra rules; ask your venue. We will follow the site rules.
Is the food suitable for children?
Yes, children are welcome. Tell us how many and roughly how old, and we will suggest mild options.
Do you provide plates and napkins?
We confirm that with your quote. Let us know what the venue supplies and we will talk it through.
What do you need at the venue?
The main things are access and a level spot: a level spot to park, space for guests to queue and a little room for a serving table. If in doubt, send us a photo of the space and the way in.
What happens if it rains?
Rain doesn’t generally stop service from the truck or trailer. It is worth planning a covered area for guests, and let us know if the ground gets soft after heavy rain.
What do you need at the pitch?
Send pitch details and we’ll confirm.
Will there be long queues?
We plan stock and service around your expected numbers, so queues keep moving.
For event organisers in Tidebrook
For repeat events, such as annual staff parties or seasonal fairs, let us know your dates early, so we can plan ahead.
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.
DIY taco night versus a caterer
DIY catering keeps costs down, but the host spends the party serving. Booking a caterer means you can relax with everyone else.
A DIY taco night is possible for a crowd, but it is 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.
