How our Mexican catering works in Alfriston
Mexican street food makes mixed diets simple. There are vegan, vegetarian, dairy-free and gluten-free options, and corn tortillas suit gluten-free guests, and we give allergen information for every dish. It works well for big birthday celebrations and leaving parties, with fresh salsas and guacamole, burrito bowls and burritos.
In a hamlet or village like Alfriston, your own garden or a neighbour’s field can make a good venue. Mention gates and soft ground when you get in touch. We serve from the hatch of our truck or trailer, or from a serving station, and we plan service so the queue keeps moving.

Diets, allergies and planning
With a little notice, most diets are easy. Our advice:
- Collect dietary needs when guests reply
- Count children separately
- Flag anyone with coeliac disease
- Ask the venue whether food trucks are allowed
Food is served from the hatch, order by order, so everything goes out hot.
Ask about extra salsas and toppings for a bigger spread.
What we need at the venue
Many gardens, fields and venues can take a truck or trailer, but a few things matter:
- A spot away from buildings, windows and neighbours
- A spot for a taco-bar serving table
- Hardstanding or firm, level ground to park on
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and the access, and we will advise before booking.
Common questions in Alfriston
How far is Alfriston from central London?
About 49 miles from central London, and well within our area.
Will you travel to a small place like Alfriston?
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.
Is there a minimum number of guests?
Our truck and trailer service generally suits events of around 50 to 400 guests. Festivals can be bigger, and smaller parties are quoted case by case. Send us your numbers and we’ll advise.
Can you serve in bad weather?
The truck or trailer serves in the rain, though guests need a covered place to eat.
What is mobile Mexican catering?
We bring our truck or trailer to your venue, cook to order and serve tacos, burritos and more from the hatch. A build-your-own taco bar is another option.
Can you do gluten-free food?
Yes, we offer gluten-free options, made with corn tortillas. Let us know about coeliac guests in advance so we can talk through how their food is prepared.
Do you take everything away?
We pack down and leave our area tidy. Let us know the venue’s rules on waste and we will confirm the arrangements with your quote.
What access do you need?
Access and level ground matter most: 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.
DIY taco night or a caterer?
If you do it yourself, work out quantities first: our guide to how many tacos per person helps. Keep tortillas warm in a covered basket, and label dishes for guests with allergies.
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.
Planning a food truck in Alfriston

If people are travelling in by rail, Berwick (Sussex) station is about 2.2 miles away. When the service is at a church such as Church of St. Andrew, the food normally happens elsewhere, at a field, hall or garden with room for the truck. With the South Downs National Park about a mile away at most, a rural setting is never far from Alfriston. Country lanes there can be narrow and verges soft, so tell us about the route in. With the sea within about 4 miles, a beach-side event might appeal. Promenades and beaches normally need permission, and the truck or trailer has to park on firm ground, not sand.
