Cross in Hand questions
Is it possible to have you in Passingworth Park?
It depends on the park’s owner, who would need to agree to a catering vehicle on site. Ask them first; if they say yes, we’ll send what they need from us.
Do you cater in the High Weald National Landscape?
We do, where the venue allows a catering vehicle. Lanes can be narrow and ground soft, so tell us how we’d get in.
Do you cater for vegetarian guests?
Yes. Vegetarian and vegan fillings, such as spiced mushrooms or black beans, can be part of the menu.
What do you serve?
We agree a sample menu with each client. Fillings could include slow-cooked pork carnitas, chicken tinga, beef birria and vegan options such as spiced mushrooms or black beans. Our sample menu has more ideas.
Do you take everything away?
Our area is packed away and left tidy. Let us know the venue’s rules on waste and we’ll confirm the arrangements with your quote.
Do you cover Cross in Hand?
Yes. We cover London and the South East, and Cross in Hand is within our area and the rest of East Sussex. For a quote, send a quick message through our quote form.
Can you do gluten-free food?
Yes, with corn tortillas. Corn is naturally gluten-free, though some sauces and toppings can contain gluten, so we check every dish and give allergen information.
What access do you need?
A level, firm spot for the truck or trailer, with access wide and high enough to drive in, and the venue’s agreement. We confirm power and water with you for each booking.

Dietary needs and planning tips
With a little notice, most diets are easy. We suggest:
- Plan the taco bar around speeches and timings
- Ask guests about diets and allergies on the RSVP
- Include a vegan filling on the bar
- Pick the spot for the taco bar in advance
We get there early enough to unload, lay out the table and heat everything through.

For planners, venues and organisers
Planners and coordinators can contact us directly, and we will keep everyone informed on the day.
Events in public spaces, like parks, generally need permission. We can send what the landowner or council needs from us.
Can I do a taco night myself?
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.
Doing it yourself saves money, but the host ends up in the kitchen. With a caterer, you get the food and drinks without the work.
