We serve in all 371 towns and villages across West Sussex, from the larger towns to small villages, wherever the truck or trailer can get in.

Around Botolphs, historic houses include Portslade Manor (4.6 miles south-east).

Planning the serving area
Plenty of outdoor spaces and venues work for us, but a few things matter:
- Firm, level ground or hardstanding where the truck or trailer can park
- Parking arrangements if we are not on private land
- Enough width and height on the route in
If you’re unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think.

Should I do it myself?
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.
For a small group, a taco night at home can work well. For larger numbers, mixed diets or a wedding, a caterer takes the pressure off, with allergen information for every dish.
Diets, allergies and planning
Nearly every event has some special diets. To plan for them:
- Have shelter ready in case of rain
- Tell us how many children are coming
- Ask the venue about catering vehicles before you book
- Add a dietary question to the invitation
Guests come to the hatch, order and wait a short moment for hot food.
Nachos for sharing at the start are a good way to begin.

Questions from Botolphs

How much is food truck hire?
We do not publish set prices, because each hire is different. Tell us your plans and we’ll quote for your event. See the Mexican catering cost guide for background.
Do you cater for coeliacs?
Yes, we offer gluten-free options, using corn tortillas. Tell us about any coeliac guests before the event so we can explain how we prepare their food.
