Taco catering in Alciston: local tips
Alciston is about 4 miles north of Seaford, in East Sussex. We serve at events in homes, gardens and venues in Alciston and the surrounding area. We cover 289 places across East Sussex, from the larger towns to small villages. Our nearest city page is Brighton, about 12 miles away.
If people are travelling in by rail, the nearest station is Berwick (Sussex) station, about 1.3 miles north-east. Nearby historic houses include Charleston Farmhouse (1.3 miles north-west) and Alfriston Clergy House (2 miles south-east). Estates and historic houses tend to set their own rules for caterers, so find out what yours allows first. Venues in and around the South Downs National Park, within about 2 miles of Alciston, sometimes limit where vehicles can go. Ask yours about access for a truck or trailer before you book. The coast is within about 5 miles of Alciston, so for a seaside event we plan around the wind. The truck or trailer needs firm ground rather than sand or shingle, and seafront spots typically need permission from the council or landowner.

Nearby, we also cater events in Selmeston (1 mile north), Berwick (1 mile north-east), Winton (1 mile south-east), Alfriston (2 miles south-east) and Milton Street (2 miles south-east).

Common questions in Alciston
Do you come out to small places like Alciston?
Yes. Villages and hamlets are part of our area, and the main thing is access: tell us about the lane, the gate and the ground.
We’re having a ceremony at The Parish Church: can you cater afterwards?
Yes. The church itself isn’t where we’d set up, but a hall, field or garden close by with room for the truck or trailer can work well. Let us know the reception address and we will check the access.
Do you do margaritas?
Yes, we do. The drinks bar can be added to food or booked on its own. We’ll check the licensing for alcohol with you.
Can you cater for vegetarians and vegans?
Yes. We can include vegetarian and vegan fillings like black beans or spiced mushrooms, served alongside the meat options.
What do you need at the venue?
Tell us about the venue and the way in, and we’ll confirm what we need. Space for a queue and, if you choose one, a taco-bar table helps too.
Can you do gluten-free food?
Yes, we offer gluten-free options, made with corn tortillas. Tell us about any coeliac guests before the event so we can talk through how their food is prepared. See are corn tortillas gluten-free?
Do you have dairy-free options?
Yes, on request. Tell us how many guests need dairy-free food, and we will include them in the plan.
Do you do a drinks bar?
Our drinks bar can be added to any booking, with bar staff serving margaritas, Mexican beer and aguas frescas. Alcohol needs the right licence, so we will check that with you.

Mexican catering or something else?

Access and travel can make a difference to the cost, so tell us about the venue when you ask for a quote. Your quote confirms the full price.
