We serve in all 289 towns and villages across East Sussex, from the larger towns to small villages. We cater right across the region, from Tile Hurst to Brighton (about 16 miles away).
PTA volunteers planning an event for a school like Grovelands Community Primary School might like a trader who brings everything and serves quickly. Organisers of a summer fête for a church such as Zoar Strict Baptist Chapel could add tacos and burritos alongside the bric-a-brac. Shows and fairs in the South Downs National Park, about 6 miles from Tile Hurst at most, sometimes have rules on where traders can drive. Send us the site plan and we’ll plan around it.

DIY taco night versus a caterer
A DIY taco night is possible for a crowd, but it is more work than it looks. There are fillings to slow-cook, tortillas to keep warm and salsas to make. Read our guide to taco bars.
Doing it yourself? Start with the quantities: our guide to how many tacos per person helps. Keep tortillas warm in a covered basket, and label anything containing allergens.
